[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 3/5] avformat/webmdashenc: Remove possibility of infinite loop

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

The WebM DASH manifest muxer uses a loop to parse the adaptation_sets
string (which is given by the user and governs which AVStreams are
mapped to what adaptation set) and the very beginning of this loop is
"if (*p == ' ') continue;". This of course leads to an infinite loop if
the condition is true. It is true if e.g. the string begins with ' ' or
if there are more than one ' ' between different adaptation set groups.

To fix this, the parsing process has been modified to consume the space
if it is at a place where it can legitimately occur, i.e. when a new
adaptation set group is expected. The latter restriction implies that an
error is returned if a space exists where none is allowed to exist.
