PR #20324 opened by James Almer (jamrial)
URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20324
Patch URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20324.patch

This makes the functions extensible, as future behavior change flags can be 
introduced.

This is strictly speaking not an API break. Only if a user was setting 
recursive to anything other than 1 it would now behave differently, but given 
these functions have been in the tree for only a few days, the chances for that 
are practically zero.

Subject: [PATCH] avcodec/exif: make the get and remove helpers take a flag
 argument

This makes the functions extensible, as future behavior change flags can be
introduced.

This is strictly speaking not an API break. Only if a user was setting
recursive to anything other than 1 it would now behave differently, but given
these functions have been in the tree for only a few days, the chances for that
are practically zero.
