Hi, 
Anthon, thank you for your review.
I've just submitted to the patchwork a new patchset (v14
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/list/?series=7794) containing
changes following your review.  If something still needs to be changed
please let me know.
I will be grateful for your feedback.

Best regards
Dawid

You seem to be doing custom bitreading here and in read_nal_unit_length().
You should use either the get_bits.h API for bitreading or bytestream2 API
for byte reading.

[REPLY]
I only read 2 bytes of the header here to get NALU type. The function is
small and clear. That's the reason I decided not to use any ffmpeg API here.
If I had to parse something big i.e VUI would definitely use the GetBits
API.
However, If you still insist I will change it ofcourse.

Also, avctx is unused (same in read_nal_unit_length()).

this whole function looks very much like AV_RB32 or bytestream2_get_be32.

First, casting away const is something you should almost never do.
Especially in a parser, which should never modify the input bitstream.

[DONE] Yes, you are absolutely right. That's a severe flaw. I've just fixed
it.

This seems unnecessary.

[DONE] I've removed it (It has been fixed in patchset v14)

IIUC read_nal_unit_length() can return -1, which should be handled here.

Invalid type should be handled here.

useless comment, the check is obvious

The parser is standalone, limitations of some specific decoder
implementation should not affect parsing.

You're not doing anything with the PPS, why waste time parsing it at all?

[REPLY] The information from parsed PPS is used by parse_slice_header()
function

The message is false - the unit type is unhandled, not necessarily invalid.
And I see no reason why the parser should fail on unknown unit types.

[DONE] It has been fixed in patchset v14

This seems to be write-only.

parse_nal_units() should return meaningful error codes (like
AVERROR_INVALIDDATA) and they should be handled here.

[DONE] It has been fixed in patchset v14

> +

The parser should not return individual NAL units, but complete frames
(access units in HEVC terminology, don't know if EVC defines something
similar).

[REPLY] Current EVC decoder implementation needs individual NAL units.
