Typedef Documentation

◆ picture_pool_t

Picture pool handle.

Function Documentation

◆ picture_pool_Get()

picture_t * picture_pool_Get ( picture_pool_t pool)

Obtains a picture from a pool if any is immediately available.

The picture must be released with picture_Release().

Returns
a picture, or NULL if all pictures in the pool are allocated
Note
This function is thread-safe.

◆ picture_pool_New()

picture_pool_t * picture_pool_New ( unsigned  count,
picture_t *const *  tab 
)

Creates a pool of preallocated pictures.

Free pictures can be allocated from the pool, and are returned to the pool when they are no longer referenced.

This avoids allocating and deallocationg pictures repeatedly, and ensures that memory consumption remains within limits.

To obtain a picture from the pool, use picture_pool_Get(). To increase and decrease the reference count, use picture_Hold() and picture_Release() respectively.

Parameters
countnumber of pictures in the array
tabarray of pictures
Returns
a pointer to the new pool on success, or NULL on error (pictures are not released on error)

◆ picture_pool_NewFromFormat()

picture_pool_t * picture_pool_NewFromFormat ( const video_format_t fmt,
unsigned  count 
)

Allocates pictures from the heap and creates a picture pool with them.

This is a convenience wrapper for picture_NewFromFormat() and picture_pool_New().

Parameters
fmtvideo format of pictures to allocate from the heap
countnumber of pictures to allocate
Returns
a pointer to the new pool on success, NULL on error

◆ picture_pool_Release()

void picture_pool_Release ( picture_pool_t pool)

Releases a pool created by picture_pool_New() or picture_pool_NewFromFormat().

Note
If there are no pending references to the pooled pictures, and the picture_resource_t.pf_destroy callback was not NULL, it will be invoked. Otherwise the default callback will be used.
Warning
If there are pending references (a.k.a. late pictures), the pictures will remain valid until the all pending references are dropped by picture_Release().

◆ picture_pool_Wait()

picture_t * picture_pool_Wait ( picture_pool_t pool)

Obtains a picture from a pool.

The picture must be released with picture_Release().

Returns
a picture or NULL on memory error
Note
This function is thread-safe.
