Hello Alex,
2008/5/5 Alex Villacís Lasso a_villacis@palosanto.com:
The patch:
3066116f76c0c44950fde3552485b37dce24d1f8 quartz: Clean up pullpin code.
causes a regression in a test application I have. I see the following message in the console:
pin.c:1236: PullPin_Init: La declaración `pCustomRequest' no se cumple.
And I get an "Automation error" in a message box. This, every time I try to load an AVI file in a Windows Media Control. Reversing the patch gets rid of the error.
I believe this patch was to be followed by a cleanup of code to ensure that no users of PullPin_Init pass a NULL pCustomRequest. However, this parameter gets passed as NULL from parser.c:92, which in turn gets it from avisplit.c, mpegsplit.c and waveparser.c, all of them with NULL as the value for the parameter.
Was there supposed to be any follow-up patch for this? Why was it not committed?
The followup patch is the avi splitter patch. It was rejected because of the code freeze. Instead I asked AJ to revert the patch. Current head should no longer have it.
Cheers, Maarten.
