[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/8] lavu: add macros to help making future-proof structures

[Anton Khirnov]

I've said this before, repeating it again for ease of reference: I do
not believe the use case for this has been sufficiently established.

What important problem within the scope of the project is being solved
by this? Why do we need over a 1000 lines of just new header files for
it? Why do we need a generic JSON writer? We are not a JSON library.
Neither are we a string processing library.

IMO this should not go in until and unless significant practical
benefits of this code are shown on a non-toy use case within the scope
of our project.
