If there was no APIChanges entry that references a library version, then this can not be considered deprecated and can not be removed until a bump at least 2 years from now. Even more so when there was no deprecation attribute on the function to warn its users. So please, change it to < 60.

What could also be done as part of this deprecation is doing the same to AVCodecParser.split(). av_parser_change() is the only function that makes use of it, so with the function gone it has no reason to exist anymore, and it can all be removed at the same time.

I might read doxygen when I write new code, but for existing code I wouldn't go around reading docs for functions that I am already using checking for changes. The entire point of the deprecation period is to inform users of an upcoming change, but putting it only in doxygen is just not effective at that task at all. Users can be assumed to be reading APIchanges, a central place for all relevant changes (even if most probably don't), or even better get compiler deprecation warnings. Either of those would be good, both even better. - Hendrik

APIChanges is for listing API changes. A deprecation is not by itself an API change, merely a statement of intent wrt future API changes. From the perspective of an API user it does not make much sense to ask whether a feature X is deprecated in version Y, only whether a replacement API is present. In this specific case, a replacement API has been present since 2006 - for more than half the project's existence. Surely that should be enough.

I don't see a reason why https://ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/deprecated.html should not count; if both APIchanges as well as doxygen were to be properly curated, the former would be even better to know about the current state of deprecations. There is currently no requirement anywhere (that I could find) that says that deprecations should be put into APIchanges or that API users should search in APIchanges for deprecations. The only place mentioning doc/APIchanges is libavutil/avutil.h: "However, new public symbols may be added and new members may be appended to public structs whose size is not part of public ABI (most public structs in FFmpeg). New macros and enum values may be added. Behavior in undocumented situations may change slightly (and be documented). All those are accompanied by an entry in doc/APIchanges and incrementing either the minor or micro version number." As you can see, there is no mention of deprecations. This is intentional: It was written by Anton who thinks that deprecations are no API changes at all (a view I don't share). On the other hand, API users are explicitly encouraged to read the doxygen documentation. From doc/developer.texi: "This document is mostly useful for internal FFmpeg developers. External developers who need to use the API in their application should refer to the API doxygen documentation in the public headers, and check the examples in @file{doc/examples} and in the source code to see how the public API is employed." In particular, in case of av_parser_change there was no documentation for this function in avcodec.h before 9a07c1332cfe092b57b5758f22b686ca58806c60. Anyone who wanted to use this function therefore had to either use doxygen (which picks up documentation outside of headers, too) or look at the source directly. In both of these instances, such a user would see the deprecation since 748c2fca7e4d99357c234936aa71212a6282be36. I therefore consider the actual deprecation to have happened in 2006, before APIchanges was introduced at all. In this time the doxygen deprecation list was undoubtedly the list to look at for deprecations. - Andreas

Yet the function was used in ffmpeg.c until 2018 when i removed it. It was dead code, but it was there and nobody noticed because it made no noise, so is it too crazy to think some project down there may still be using it because they were never nagged to make their code use the *_extradata bsfs? Look, I don't really care about this function, and it's so old and part of AVCodecParserContext (which nobody outside the project likes) that probably nobody is using it (Google seems to agree), so if you really want it gone now and if it really predates APIChanges then just nuke it. But for future deprecations, an APIChanges entry and an attribute if applicable must be required, not just doxy. Doxy should mainly inform the developer of a potential replacement, or details about the deprecation (Like you wrote about what happens after thread_safe_callbacks is gone). APIChanges should be what keeps a history of additions and deprecations (Doxygen only keeps track of active deprecations). And of course the attribute so some actual noise is made. Can we document this to prevent future pointless discussions about what is and what is not the correct process? And for the sake of everyone's sanity, don't summon the TC to solve a conflict about if we should add a line to two files or just one.

Just one suggestion in addition to what you said: For deprecated AVOptions whose targets are ordinary users (not API users) it is enough (and required) to add the AV_OPT_FLAG_DEPRECATED and to update the documentation; an APIchanges entry should not be added as that would just be noise for API users reading said file. > Can we document this to prevent future pointless discussions about what > is and what is not the correct process?

I won't summon the TC for this. - Andreas PS: I don't think it's only outside developers that don't like the current parsing API. At least I don't like it either (it is not based upon AVPackets, so it breaks side data; it is not refcounted).

I am all for documenting development practices, though I don't think they have to be applied retroactively to old changes. In any case, this is a minor difference of opinion in my eyes. I do not absolutely insist this function be removed RIGHT NOW, I would just prefer to see it gone soon, since we have way too much old cruft as is. TC is supposed to get involved only in cases of irreconcilable conflict, not when people just happen to disagree on something.
