The exact opposite is true: The code is trying to be robust against upgrades of libavutil. The reason for this is potential trailing padding in the structures that are copied here. It may be used for actual stuff in a future libavutil and the approach you use here allows the compiler to clobber it. (How would this code be robust against downgrades of libavutil at all? There is no check here that sizeof of the side data is big enough to contain everything we expect it to contain.) > --- > libavcodec/dovi_rpudec.c | 12 +++++------- > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/libavcodec/dovi_rpudec.c b/libavcodec/dovi_rpudec.c > index 7c7eda9d09..adf2c00cf5 100644 > --- a/libavcodec/dovi_rpudec.c > +++ b/libavcodec/dovi_rpudec.c > @@ -56,14 +56,12 @@ int ff_dovi_attach_side_data(DOVIContext *s, AVFrame > *frame) > return AVERROR(ENOMEM); > } > > - /* Copy only the parts of these structs known to us at compiler-time. */ > -#define COPY(t, a, b, last) memcpy(a, b, offsetof(t, last) + > sizeof((b)->last)) > - COPY(AVDOVIRpuDataHeader, av_dovi_get_header(dovi), &s->header, > disable_residual_flag); > - COPY(AVDOVIDataMapping, av_dovi_get_mapping(dovi), s->mapping, > nlq_pivots); > - COPY(AVDOVIColorMetadata, av_dovi_get_color(dovi), s->color, > source_diagonal); > - ext_sz = FFMIN(sizeof(AVDOVIDmData), dovi->ext_block_size); > + *av_dovi_get_header(dovi) = s->header; > + *av_dovi_get_mapping(dovi) = *s->mapping; > + *av_dovi_get_color(dovi) = *s->color; > + av_assert0(dovi->ext_block_size >= sizeof(AVDOVIDmData)); > for (int i = 0; i < s->num_ext_blocks; i++) > - memcpy(av_dovi_get_ext(dovi, i), &s->ext_blocks[i], ext_sz); > + *av_dovi_get_ext(dovi, i) = s->ext_blocks[i]; > dovi->num_ext_blocks = s->num_ext_blocks; > return 0; > } _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
