Can effectivly improved decoding speed when memcpy becomes a limitation
for proccessing high resolution source.
Tested under i7-8700k with `ffmpeg -i 7680x4320.avs2 -vsync 0 -f null -`
got performance 23fps => 42fps

Whoa, this should not happen, and you have to be prepared that the user 
might close the decoder before freeing the last frame.

Maybe you should use some refcounting and create references to the 
decoder, others may have a better idea.

I hope so, actually it's harmless if we failed to unref some frames outside davs2 when decoder
was closed through davs2_decoder_close(). The decoder will free the memory which contains
all recycle data itself.

Of course, anyway, it would be better if there are any ways to make sure we correctly freed all
frames even decoder was not found or exited without a davs2_decoder_close().  But force to
free the memory immediately in the call back function can cause troubles to decoder and I'm
not very clearly understand how to use reference to deal with this problem inside a codec.


Maybe that means I could reference the buffer and waiting ffmpeg to free them once they were
not handled by davs2?

Thanks :-)

And that is the problem, because the data should survive closing the 
(avcodec) decoder.

I am not sure I understand your concern here.

Here is what I propose in more detail, I think it works for all cases:

In davs_init allocate a small struct which contains the decoder and a 
reference counter for the decoder itself:
DAVS2Reference {
   atomic_int refcount;
   void *decoder;
}
set the refs to 1.

In davs2_dump_frames you should pass the allocated DAVS2Reference to 
av_buffer_create instead of the DAVS2Context. After each successful 
av_buffer_create you should increase refcount.

In davs2_frame_unref after freeing the frame you should decrease the 
reference counter and if you reach 0 then you can destroy the davs2 
decoder (and free DAVS2Reference struct as well)

You can do the same in davs2_end: decrease the refcount and if you reach 0 
then you can close the davs2 decoder and free the DAVS2Reference struct.

Marton

Do you mean after decoder closing, there may still some data left which should be unref by decoder ...
The davs2_decoder_frame_unref() can only notice the decoder that it could reuse this part of memory,
but the decoder won't free or realloc any memory. All these memory will be free together when decoder
was closing. So the "survived data" in ffmpeg should just be some unuseful pointers.

Or you mean even decoder is closed, there are still some data needed by ffmpeg?

In my understanding, once closing decoder, ffmpeg should finish or stop outputing (not so sure,
if not please correct me). So I think normally the refcount should always be zero when using
decoder_close(), if not zero, maybe decoder can do nothing but wait (and never stop).

If after closing decoder there are still some data needed by ffmpeg, a refcounter is necessary indeed.
