[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/3] [RFC] EXIF overhaul

[Leo Izen]

A few notes:
- This includes an avpriv_ removal, so it won't be able to be merged
  until the ABI is bumped. Alternatively, I could add that avipriv_
  back in as a wrapper around the actual API so it's not a blocker,
  and then we can remove it when the time comes to bump the ABI.
- MakerNote inside TIFF files are not handled by this patch. I don't
  have any samples that lets me reliably special-case them based on
  manufacturer. MakerNote is, by spec, a binary blob, but in practice
  it's often a TIFF IFD, with arbitrary data before the IFD starts
  and arbitrary semantics on whether its IFD-offsets are relative to
  the start of the TIFF header or the start of the MakerNote. The lack
  of samples makes this hard to work around. See [1] for more details.
  Note that [1] links [2] but [2] is a deadlink.
- We attach the EXIF buffer as-is from mjpeg, webp, or other files that
  treat it as a blob, but we still need to parse it in order to determine
  the display matrix orientation side data. If there's a better way to
  handle this, please suggest one.
- AVFrameSideData must be flat, so we can't parse it and store an
  AVDictionary * pointer in its place, as convenient as that would be.
