For example, consider cases where we want to propagate errors only in
specific instances:
auto result = read_data(); // something like ErrorOr<ByteBuffer>
if (result.is_error() && result.error().code() != EINTR)
continue;
auto bytes = TRY(result);
The TRY invocation will currently copy the byte buffer when the
expression (in this case, just a local variable) is stored into
_temporary_result.
This patch binds the expression to a reference to prevent such copies.
In less trival invocations (such as TRY(some_function()), this will
incur only temporary lifetime extensions, i.e. no functional change.
If USING_AK_GLOBALLY is not defined, the name IsLvalueReference might
not be available in the global namespace. Follow the pattern established
in LibTest to fully qualify AK types in macros to avoid this problem.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
This implements the fastest seeking mode available for tracks with cues
using an array of cue points for each track. It approximates the index
based on the seeking timestamp and then finds the earliest cue point
before the timestamp. The approximation assumes that cues will be on
a regular interval, which I don't believe is always the case, but it
should at least be faster than iterating the whole set of cue points
each time.
Cues are stored per track, but most videos will only have cue points
for the video track(s) that are present. For now, this assumes that it
should only seek based on the cue points for the selected track. To
seek audio in a video file, we should copy the seeked iterator over to
the audio track's iterator after seeking is complete. The iterator will
then skip to the next audio block.
This adds two options:
- An option to print a specific track number only, and omit all others.
- An option to print each block for each track that is printed.
Tracks have a timestamp scale value that should be present which scales
each block's timestamp offset to allow video to be synced with audio.
They should also contain a CodecDelay element and may also contain a
TrackOffset that offsets the block timestamps.
The Demuxer class was changed to return errors for more functions so
that all of the underlying reading can be done lazily. Other than that,
the demuxer interface is unchanged, and only the underlying reader was
modified.
The MatroskaDocument class is no more, and MatroskaReader's getter
functions replace it. Every MatroskaReader getter beyond the Segment
element's position is parsed lazily from the file as needed. This means
that all getter functions can return DecoderErrors which must be
handled by callers.
Matroska::Reader functions now return DecoderErrorOr instead of values
being declared Optional. Useful errors can be handled by the users of
the parser, similarly to the VP9 decoder. A lot of the error checking
in the reader is a lot cleaner thanks to this change, since all reads
can be range checked in Streamer::read_octet() now.
Most functions for the Streamer class are now also out-of-line in
Reader.cpp now instead of residing in the header.
As new demuxers are added, this will get quite full of files, so it'll
be good to have a separate folder for these.
To avoid too many chained namespaces, the Containers subdirectory is
not also a namespace, but the Matroska folder is for the sake of
separating the multiple classes for parsed information entering the
Video namespace.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
Error::from_string_literal now takes direct char const*s, while
Error::from_string_view does what Error::from_string_literal used to do:
taking StringViews. This change will remove the need to insert `sv`
after error strings when returning string literal errors once
StringView(char const*) is removed.
No functional changes.
This patch brings all of LibVideo up to the east-const style in the
project. Additionally, it applies a few fixes from the reviews in #8170
that referred to older LibVideo code.
