FFmpeg的H.264解码器源代码简单分析：概述

=====================================================

本文简单分析FFmpeg常见结构体的初始化和销毁函数的源代码。常见的结构体在文章：

《FFMPEG中最关键的结构体之间的关系》中已经有过叙述，包括：

AVFormatContext：统领全局的基本结构体。主要用于处理封装格式（FLV/MKV/RMVB等）。

AVIOContext：输入输出对应的结构体，用于输入输出（读写文件，RTMP协议等）。

AVStream，AVCodecContext：视音频流对应的结构体，用于视音频编解码。

AVFrame：存储非压缩的数据（视频对应RGB/YUV像素数据，音频对应PCM采样数据）

AVPacket：存储压缩数据（视频对应H.264等码流数据，音频对应AAC/MP3等码流数据）

他们之间的关系如下图所示（详细信息可以参考上文提到的文章）。



下文简单分析一下上述几个结构体的初始化和销毁函数。这些函数列表如下。

结构体	初始化	销毁
AVFormatContext	avformat_alloc_context()	avformat_free_context()
AVIOContext	avio_alloc_context()
AVStream	avformat_new_stream()
AVCodecContext	avcodec_alloc_context3()
AVFrame	av_frame_alloc(); av_image_fill_arrays()	av_frame_free()
AVPacket	av_init_packet(); av_new_packet()	av_free_packet()

下面进入正文。

AVFormatContext

AVFormatContext的初始化函数是avformat_alloc_context()，销毁函数是avformat_free_context()。

avformat_alloc_context()

avformat_alloc_context()的声明位于libavformat\avformat.h，如下所示。

/**
* Allocate an AVFormatContext.
* avformat_free_context() can be used to freethe context and everything
* allocated by the framework within it.
*/
AVFormatContext*avformat_alloc_context(void);

avformat_alloc_context()的定义位于libavformat\options.c。代码如下所示。

AVFormatContext *avformat_alloc_context(void)
{
AVFormatContext *ic;
ic = av_malloc(sizeof(AVFormatContext));
if (!ic) return ic;
avformat_get_context_defaults(ic);

ic->internal = av_mallocz(sizeof(*ic->internal));
if (!ic->internal) {
avformat_free_context(ic);
return NULL;
}

return ic;
}

从代码中可以看出，avformat_alloc_context()调用av_malloc()为AVFormatContext结构体分配了内存，而且同时也给AVFormatContext中的internal字段分配内存（这个字段是FFmpeg内部使用的，先不分析）。此外调用了一个avformat_get_context_defaults()函数。该函数用于设置AVFormatContext的字段的默认值。它的定义也位于libavformat\options.c，确切的说就位于avformat_alloc_context()上面。我们看一下该函数的定义。

static void avformat_get_context_defaults(AVFormatContext *s)
{
memset(s, 0, sizeof(AVFormatContext));

s->av_class = &av_format_context_class;

av_opt_set_defaults(s);
}

从代码可以看出，avformat_get_context_defaults()首先调用memset()将AVFormatContext的所有字段置0。而后调用了一个函数av_opt_set_defaults()。av_opt_set_defaults()用于给字段设置默认值。

avformat_alloc_context()代码的函数调用关系如下图所示。

avformat_free_context()

avformat_free_context()的声明位于libavformat\avformat.h，如下所示。

/**
* Free an AVFormatContext and all its streams.
* @param s context to free
*/
void avformat_free_context(AVFormatContext *s);

avformat_free_context()的定义位于libavformat\options.c。代码如下所示。

void avformat_free_context(AVFormatContext *s)
{
int i;

if (!s)
return;

av_opt_free(s);
if (s->iformat && s->iformat->priv_class && s->priv_data)
av_opt_free(s->priv_data);
if (s->oformat && s->oformat->priv_class && s->priv_data)
av_opt_free(s->priv_data);

for (i = s->nb_streams - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
ff_free_stream(s, s->streams[i]);
}
for (i = s->nb_programs - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
av_dict_free(&s->programs[i]->metadata);
av_freep(&s->programs[i]->stream_index);
av_freep(&s->programs[i]);
}
av_freep(&s->programs);
av_freep(&s->priv_data);
while (s->nb_chapters--) {
av_dict_free(&s->chapters[s->nb_chapters]->metadata);
av_freep(&s->chapters[s->nb_chapters]);
}
av_freep(&s->chapters);
av_dict_free(&s->metadata);
av_freep(&s->streams);
av_freep(&s->internal);
flush_packet_queue(s);
av_free(s);
}

从代码中可以看出，avformat_free_context()调用了各式各样的销毁函数：av_opt_free()，av_freep()，av_dict_free()。这些函数分别用于释放不同种类的变量，在这里不再详细讨论。在这里看一个释放AVStream的函数ff_free_stream()。该函数的定义位于libavformat\options.c（其实就在avformat_free_context()上方）。

void ff_free_stream(AVFormatContext *s, AVStream *st) {
int j;
av_assert0(s->nb_streams>0);
av_assert0(s->streams[ s->nb_streams - 1 ] == st);

for (j = 0; j < st->nb_side_data; j++)
av_freep(&st->side_data[j].data);
av_freep(&st->side_data);
st->nb_side_data = 0;

if (st->parser) {
av_parser_close(st->parser);
}
if (st->attached_pic.data)
av_free_packet(&st->attached_pic);
av_dict_free(&st->metadata);
av_freep(&st->probe_data.buf);
av_freep(&st->index_entries);
av_freep(&st->codec->extradata);
av_freep(&st->codec->subtitle_header);
av_freep(&st->codec);
av_freep(&st->priv_data);
if (st->info)
av_freep(&st->info->duration_error);
av_freep(&st->info);
av_freep(&s->streams[ --s->nb_streams ]);
}

从代码中可以看出，与释放AVFormatContext类似，释放AVStream的时候，也是调用了av_freep()，av_dict_free()这些函数释放有关的字段。如果使用了parser的话，会调用av_parser_close()关闭该parser。

AVIOContext

avio_alloc_context()

AVIOContext的初始化函数是avio_alloc_context()，销毁的时候使用av_free()释放掉其中的缓存即可。它的声明位于libavformat\avio.h中，如下所示。

/**
* Allocate and initialize an AVIOContext for buffered I/O. It must be later
* freed with av_free().
*
* @param buffer Memory block for input/output operations via AVIOContext.
*        The buffer must be allocated with av_malloc() and friends.
* @param buffer_size The buffer size is very important for performance.
*        For protocols with fixed blocksize it should be set to this blocksize.
*        For others a typical size is a cache page, e.g. 4kb.
* @param write_flag Set to 1 if the buffer should be writable, 0 otherwise.
* @param opaque An opaque pointer to user-specific data.
* @param read_packet  A function for refilling the buffer, may be NULL.
* @param write_packet A function for writing the buffer contents, may be NULL.
*        The function may not change the input buffers content.
* @param seek A function for seeking to specified byte position, may be NULL.
*
* @return Allocated AVIOContext or NULL on failure.
*/
AVIOContext *avio_alloc_context(
unsigned char *buffer,
int buffer_size,
int write_flag,
void *opaque,
int (*read_packet)(void *opaque, uint8_t *buf, int buf_size),
int (*write_packet)(void *opaque, uint8_t *buf, int buf_size),
int64_t (*seek)(void *opaque, int64_t offset, int whence));

avio_alloc_context()定义位于libavformat\aviobuf.c中，如下所示。

AVIOContext *avio_alloc_context(
unsigned char *buffer,
int buffer_size,
int write_flag,
void *opaque,
int (*read_packet)(void *opaque, uint8_t *buf, int buf_size),
int (*write_packet)(void *opaque, uint8_t *buf, int buf_size),
int64_t (*seek)(void *opaque, int64_t offset, int whence))
{
AVIOContext *s = av_mallocz(sizeof(AVIOContext));
if (!s)
return NULL;
ffio_init_context(s, buffer, buffer_size, write_flag, opaque,
read_packet, write_packet, seek);
return s;
}

从代码中可以看出，avio_alloc_context()首先调用av_mallocz()为AVIOContext分配内存。而后调用了一个函数ffio_init_context()。该函数完成了真正的初始化工作。我们看一下ffio_init_context()函数的定义。

int ffio_init_context(AVIOContext *s,
unsigned char *buffer,
int buffer_size,
int write_flag,
void *opaque,
int (*read_packet)(void *opaque, uint8_t *buf, int buf_size),
int (*write_packet)(void *opaque, uint8_t *buf, int buf_size),
int64_t (*seek)(void *opaque, int64_t offset, int whence))
{
s->buffer      = buffer;
s->orig_buffer_size =
s->buffer_size = buffer_size;
s->buf_ptr     = buffer;
s->opaque      = opaque;
s->direct      = 0;

url_resetbuf(s, write_flag ? AVIO_FLAG_WRITE : AVIO_FLAG_READ);

s->write_packet    = write_packet;
s->read_packet     = read_packet;
s->seek            = seek;
s->pos             = 0;
s->must_flush      = 0;
s->eof_reached     = 0;
s->error           = 0;
s->seekable        = seek ? AVIO_SEEKABLE_NORMAL : 0;
s->max_packet_size = 0;
s->update_checksum = NULL;

if (!read_packet && !write_flag) {
s->pos     = buffer_size;
s->buf_end = s->buffer + buffer_size;
}
s->read_pause = NULL;
s->read_seek  = NULL;

return 0;
}

从函数的代码可以看出，ffio_init_context()对AVIOContext中的缓存，函数指针等等进行了赋值。

AVStream，AVCodecContext

AVStream的初始化函数是avformat_new_stream()，销毁函数使用销毁AVFormatContext的avformat_free_context()就可以了。

avformat_new_stream()

avformat_new_stream()的声明位于libavformat\avformat.h中，如下所示。

/**
* Add a new stream to a media file.
*
* When demuxing, it is called by the demuxer in read_header(). If the
* flag AVFMTCTX_NOHEADER is set in s.ctx_flags, then it may also
* be called in read_packet().
*
* When muxing, should be called by the user before avformat_write_header().
*
* User is required to call avcodec_close() and avformat_free_context() to
* clean up the allocation by avformat_new_stream().
*
* @param s media file handle
* @param c If non-NULL, the AVCodecContext corresponding to the new stream
* will be initialized to use this codec. This is needed for e.g. codec-specific
* defaults to be set, so codec should be provided if it is known.
*
* @return newly created stream or NULL on error.
*/
AVStream *avformat_new_stream(AVFormatContext *s, const AVCodec *c);

avformat_new_stream()的定义位于libavformat\utils.c中，如下所示。

AVStream *avformat_new_stream(AVFormatContext *s, const AVCodec *c)
{
AVStream *st;
int i;
AVStream **streams;

if (s->nb_streams >= INT_MAX/sizeof(*streams))
return NULL;
streams = av_realloc_array(s->streams, s->nb_streams + 1, sizeof(*streams));
if (!streams)
return NULL;
s->streams = streams;

st = av_mallocz(sizeof(AVStream));
if (!st)
return NULL;
if (!(st->info = av_mallocz(sizeof(*st->info)))) {
av_free(st);
return NULL;
}
st->info->last_dts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;

st->codec = avcodec_alloc_context3(c);
if (s->iformat) {
/* no default bitrate if decoding */
st->codec->bit_rate = 0;

/* default pts setting is MPEG-like */
avpriv_set_pts_info(st, 33, 1, 90000);
}

st->index      = s->nb_streams;
st->start_time = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
st->duration   = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
/* we set the current DTS to 0 so that formats without any timestamps
* but durations get some timestamps, formats with some unknown
* timestamps have their first few packets buffered and the
* timestamps corrected before they are returned to the user */
st->cur_dts       = s->iformat ? RELATIVE_TS_BASE : 0;
st->first_dts     = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
st->probe_packets = MAX_PROBE_PACKETS;
st->pts_wrap_reference = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
st->pts_wrap_behavior = AV_PTS_WRAP_IGNORE;

st->last_IP_pts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
st->last_dts_for_order_check = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
for (i = 0; i < MAX_REORDER_DELAY + 1; i++)
st->pts_buffer[i] = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;

st->sample_aspect_ratio = (AVRational) { 0, 1 };

#if FF_API_R_FRAME_RATE
st->info->last_dts      = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
#endif
st->info->fps_first_dts = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
st->info->fps_last_dts  = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;

st->inject_global_side_data = s->internal->inject_global_side_data;

s->streams[s->nb_streams++] = st;
return st;
}

从代码中可以看出，avformat_new_stream()首先调用av_mallocz()为AVStream分配内存。接着给新分配的AVStream的各个字段赋上默认值。然后调用了另一个函数avcodec_alloc_context3()初始化AVStream中的AVCodecContext。

avcodec_alloc_context3()

avcodec_alloc_context3()的声明位于libavcodec\avcodec.h中，如下所示。

/**
* Allocate an AVCodecContext and set its fields to default values. The
* resulting struct should be freed with avcodec_free_context().
*
* @param codec if non-NULL, allocate private data and initialize defaults
*              for the given codec. It is illegal to then call avcodec_open2()
*              with a different codec.
*              If NULL, then the codec-specific defaults won't be initialized,
*              which may result in suboptimal default settings (this is
*              important mainly for encoders, e.g. libx264).
*
* @return An AVCodecContext filled with default values or NULL on failure.
* @see avcodec_get_context_defaults
*/
AVCodecContext *avcodec_alloc_context3(const AVCodec *codec);

下面我们看一下avcodec_alloc_context3()的定义。下面我们看一下avcodec_alloc_context3()的定义。avcodec_alloc_context3()的定义位于libavcodec\options.c中。

AVCodecContext *avcodec_alloc_context3(const AVCodec *codec)
{
AVCodecContext *avctx= av_malloc(sizeof(AVCodecContext));

if (!avctx)
return NULL;

if(avcodec_get_context_defaults3(avctx, codec) < 0){
av_free(avctx);
return NULL;
}

return avctx;
}

从代码中可以看出，avcodec_alloc_context3()首先调用av_malloc()为AVCodecContext分配存储空间，然后调用了一个函数avcodec_get_context_defaults3()用于设置该AVCodecContext的默认值。avcodec_get_context_defaults3()的定义如下。

int avcodec_get_context_defaults3(AVCodecContext *s, const AVCodec *codec)
{
int flags=0;
memset(s, 0, sizeof(AVCodecContext));

s->av_class = &av_codec_context_class;

s->codec_type = codec ? codec->type : AVMEDIA_TYPE_UNKNOWN;
if (codec)
s->codec_id = codec->id;

if(s->codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO)
flags= AV_OPT_FLAG_AUDIO_PARAM;
else if(s->codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO)
flags= AV_OPT_FLAG_VIDEO_PARAM;
else if(s->codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_SUBTITLE)
flags= AV_OPT_FLAG_SUBTITLE_PARAM;
av_opt_set_defaults2(s, flags, flags);

s->time_base           = (AVRational){0,1};
s->get_buffer2         = avcodec_default_get_buffer2;
s->get_format          = avcodec_default_get_format;
s->execute             = avcodec_default_execute;
s->execute2            = avcodec_default_execute2;
s->sample_aspect_ratio = (AVRational){0,1};
s->pix_fmt             = AV_PIX_FMT_NONE;
s->sample_fmt          = AV_SAMPLE_FMT_NONE;
s->timecode_frame_start = -1;

s->reordered_opaque    = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
if(codec && codec->priv_data_size){
if(!s->priv_data){
s->priv_data= av_mallocz(codec->priv_data_size);
if (!s->priv_data) {
return AVERROR(ENOMEM);
}
}
if(codec->priv_class){
*(const AVClass**)s->priv_data = codec->priv_class;
av_opt_set_defaults(s->priv_data);
}
}
if (codec && codec->defaults) {
int ret;
const AVCodecDefault *d = codec->defaults;
while (d->key) {
ret = av_opt_set(s, d->key, d->value, 0);
av_assert0(ret >= 0);
d++;
}
}
return 0;
}

avformat_new_stream()函数的调用结构如下所示。

AVFrame

AVFrame的初始化函数是av_frame_alloc()，销毁函数是av_frame_free()。在这里有一点需要注意，旧版的FFmpeg都是使用avcodec_alloc_frame()初始化AVFrame的，但是我在写这篇文章的时候，avcodec_alloc_frame()已经被标记为“过时的”了，为了保证与时俱进，决定分析新的API——av_frame_alloc()。

av_frame_alloc()

av_frame_alloc()的声明位于libavutil\frame.h，如下所示。

/**
* Allocate an AVFrame and set its fields to default values.  The resulting
* struct must be freed using av_frame_free().
*
* @return An AVFrame filled with default values or NULL on failure.
*
* @note this only allocates the AVFrame itself, not the data buffers. Those
* must be allocated through other means, e.g. with av_frame_get_buffer() or
* manually.
*/
AVFrame *av_frame_alloc(void);

av_frame_alloc()的定义位于libavutil\frame.c。代码如下所示。

AVFrame *av_frame_alloc(void)
{
AVFrame *frame = av_mallocz(sizeof(*frame));

if (!frame)
return NULL;

frame->extended_data = NULL;
get_frame_defaults(frame);

return frame;
}

从代码可以看出，av_frame_alloc()首先调用av_mallocz()为AVFrame结构体分配内存。而后调用了一个函数get_frame_defaults()用于设置一些默认参数。get_frame_defaults()定义如下。

static void get_frame_defaults(AVFrame *frame)
{
if (frame->extended_data != frame->data)
av_freep(&frame->extended_data);

memset(frame, 0, sizeof(*frame));

frame->pts                   =
frame->pkt_dts               =
frame->pkt_pts               = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
av_frame_set_best_effort_timestamp(frame, AV_NOPTS_VALUE);
av_frame_set_pkt_duration         (frame, 0);
av_frame_set_pkt_pos              (frame, -1);
av_frame_set_pkt_size             (frame, -1);
frame->key_frame           = 1;
frame->sample_aspect_ratio = (AVRational){ 0, 1 };
frame->format              = -1; /* unknown */
frame->extended_data       = frame->data;
frame->color_primaries     = AVCOL_PRI_UNSPECIFIED;
frame->color_trc           = AVCOL_TRC_UNSPECIFIED;
frame->colorspace          = AVCOL_SPC_UNSPECIFIED;
frame->color_range         = AVCOL_RANGE_UNSPECIFIED;
frame->chroma_location     = AVCHROMA_LOC_UNSPECIFIED;
}

从av_frame_alloc()的代码我们可以看出，该函数并没有为AVFrame的像素数据分配空间。因此AVFrame中的像素数据的空间需要自行分配空间，例如使用avpicture_fill()，av_image_fill_arrays()等函数。

av_frame_alloc()函数的调用结构如下所示。

avpicture_fill()

avpicture_fill()的声明位于libavcodec\avcodec.h，如下所示。

/**
* Setup the picture fields based on the specified image parameters
* and the provided image data buffer.
*
* The picture fields are filled in by using the image data buffer
* pointed to by ptr.
*
* If ptr is NULL, the function will fill only the picture linesize
* array and return the required size for the image buffer.
*
* To allocate an image buffer and fill the picture data in one call,
* use avpicture_alloc().
*
* @param picture       the picture to be filled in
* @param ptr           buffer where the image data is stored, or NULL
* @param pix_fmt       the pixel format of the image
* @param width         the width of the image in pixels
* @param height        the height of the image in pixels
* @return the size in bytes required for src, a negative error code
* in case of failure
*
* @see av_image_fill_arrays()
*/
int avpicture_fill(AVPicture *picture, const uint8_t *ptr,
enum AVPixelFormat pix_fmt, int width, int height);

avpicture_fill()的定义位于libavcodec\avpicture.c，如下所示。

PS：目测这个函数未来也有可能成为“过时的”函数，因为通过观察这一年FFmpeg代码的变化，发现FFmpeg组织似乎想把AVFrame相关的函数（原先定义在AVCodec的头文件中）从AVCodec的代码中分离出来，形成一套单独的API。所以很多和AVFrame相关的名称为avcodec_XXX()的函数都被标记上了“过时的”标记。当然，上述推测也是我自己猜测的。

int avpicture_fill(AVPicture *picture, const uint8_t *ptr,
enum AVPixelFormat pix_fmt, int width, int height)
{
return av_image_fill_arrays(picture->data, picture->linesize,
ptr, pix_fmt, width, height, 1);
}

从代码中可以看出，avpicture_fill()仅仅是简单调用了一下av_image_fill_arrays()。也就是说这两个函数实际上是等同的。

av_image_fill_arrays()

av_image_fill_arrays()的声明位于libavutil\imgutils.h中，如下所示。

/**
* Setup the data pointers and linesizes based on the specified image
* parameters and the provided array.
*
* The fields of the given image are filled in by using the src
* address which points to the image data buffer. Depending on the
* specified pixel format, one or multiple image data pointers and
* line sizes will be set.  If a planar format is specified, several
* pointers will be set pointing to the different picture planes and
* the line sizes of the different planes will be stored in the
* lines_sizes array. Call with !src to get the required
* size for the src buffer.
*
* To allocate the buffer and fill in the dst_data and dst_linesize in
* one call, use av_image_alloc().
*
* @param dst_data      data pointers to be filled in
* @param dst_linesizes linesizes for the image in dst_data to be filled in
* @param src           buffer which will contain or contains the actual image data, can be NULL
* @param pix_fmt       the pixel format of the image
* @param width         the width of the image in pixels
* @param height        the height of the image in pixels
* @param align         the value used in src for linesize alignment
* @return the size in bytes required for src, a negative error code
* in case of failure
*/
int av_image_fill_arrays(uint8_t *dst_data[4], int dst_linesize[4],
const uint8_t *src,
enum AVPixelFormat pix_fmt, int width, int height, int align);

av_image_fill_arrays()的定义位于libavutil\imgutils.c中。

int av_image_fill_arrays(uint8_t *dst_data[4], int dst_linesize[4],
const uint8_t *src,
enum AVPixelFormat pix_fmt, int width, int height, int align)
{
int ret, i;

if ((ret = av_image_check_size(width, height, 0, NULL)) < 0)
return ret;

if ((ret = av_image_fill_linesizes(dst_linesize, pix_fmt, width)) < 0)
return ret;

for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
dst_linesize[i] = FFALIGN(dst_linesize[i], align);

if ((ret = av_image_fill_pointers(dst_data, pix_fmt, width, NULL, dst_linesize)) < 0)
return ret;

return av_image_fill_pointers(dst_data, pix_fmt, height, (uint8_t *)src, dst_linesize);
}

av_image_fill_arrays()函数中包含3个函数：av_image_check_size()，av_image_fill_linesizes()，av_image_fill_pointers()。av_image_check_size()用于检查输入的宽高参数是否合理，即不能太大或者为负数。av_image_fill_linesizes()用于填充dst_linesize。av_image_fill_pointers()则用于填充dst_data。它们的定义相对比较简单，不再详细分析。

av_image_check_size()代码如下所示。

int av_image_check_size(unsigned int w, unsigned int h, int log_offset, void *log_ctx)
{
ImgUtils imgutils = { &imgutils_class, log_offset, log_ctx };

if ((int)w>0 && (int)h>0 && (w+128)*(uint64_t)(h+128) < INT_MAX/8)
return 0;

av_log(&imgutils, AV_LOG_ERROR, "Picture size %ux%u is invalid\n", w, h);
return AVERROR(EINVAL);
}

av_image_fill_linesizes()代码如下所示。

int av_image_fill_linesizes(int linesizes[4], enum AVPixelFormat pix_fmt, int width)
{
int i, ret;
const AVPixFmtDescriptor *desc = av_pix_fmt_desc_get(pix_fmt);
int max_step     [4];       /* max pixel step for each plane */
int max_step_comp[4];       /* the component for each plane which has the max pixel step */

memset(linesizes, 0, 4*sizeof(linesizes[0]));

if (!desc || desc->flags & AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_HWACCEL)
return AVERROR(EINVAL);

av_image_fill_max_pixsteps(max_step, max_step_comp, desc);
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
if ((ret = image_get_linesize(width, i, max_step[i], max_step_comp[i], desc)) < 0)
return ret;
linesizes[i] = ret;
}

return 0;
}

av_image_fill_pointers()代码如下所示。

int av_image_fill_pointers(uint8_t *data[4], enum AVPixelFormat pix_fmt, int height,
uint8_t *ptr, const int linesizes[4])
{
int i, total_size, size[4] = { 0 }, has_plane[4] = { 0 };

const AVPixFmtDescriptor *desc = av_pix_fmt_desc_get(pix_fmt);
memset(data     , 0, sizeof(data[0])*4);

if (!desc || desc->flags & AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_HWACCEL)
return AVERROR(EINVAL);

data[0] = ptr;
if (linesizes[0] > (INT_MAX - 1024) / height)
return AVERROR(EINVAL);
size[0] = linesizes[0] * height;

if (desc->flags & AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PAL ||
desc->flags & AV_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PSEUDOPAL) {
size[0] = (size[0] + 3) & ~3;
data[1] = ptr + size[0]; /* palette is stored here as 256 32 bits words */
return size[0] + 256 * 4;
}

for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
has_plane[desc->comp[i].plane] = 1;

total_size = size[0];
for (i = 1; i < 4 && has_plane[i]; i++) {
int h, s = (i == 1 || i == 2) ? desc->log2_chroma_h : 0;
data[i] = data[i-1] + size[i-1];
h = (height + (1 << s) - 1) >> s;
if (linesizes[i] > INT_MAX / h)
return AVERROR(EINVAL);
size[i] = h * linesizes[i];
if (total_size > INT_MAX - size[i])
return AVERROR(EINVAL);
total_size += size[i];
}

return total_size;
}

avpicture_fill()函数调用关系如下图所示。

av_frame_free()

av_frame_free ()的声明位于libavutil\frame.h，如下所示。

/**
* Free the frame and any dynamically allocated objects in it,
* e.g. extended_data. If the frame is reference counted, it will be
* unreferenced first.
*
* @param frame frame to be freed. The pointer will be set to NULL.
*/
void av_frame_free(AVFrame **frame);

av_frame_free ()的定义位于libavutil\frame.c。代码如下所示。

void av_frame_free(AVFrame **frame)
{
if (!frame || !*frame)
return;

av_frame_unref(*frame);
av_freep(frame);
}

在释放AVFrame结构体之前，首先调用了一个函数av_frame_unref()。av_frame_unref()也是一个FFmpeg的API，它的作用是释放AVFrame中参考的缓存（还没完全弄懂），并且重置AVFrame中的字段。调用这个函数的目的应该是为了确保AVFrame可以被正常释放。代码如下。

void av_frame_unref(AVFrame *frame)
{
int i;

for (i = 0; i < frame->nb_side_data; i++) {
free_side_data(&frame->side_data[i]);
}
av_freep(&frame->side_data);

for (i = 0; i < FF_ARRAY_ELEMS(frame->buf); i++)
av_buffer_unref(&frame->buf[i]);
for (i = 0; i < frame->nb_extended_buf; i++)
av_buffer_unref(&frame->extended_buf[i]);
av_freep(&frame->extended_buf);
av_dict_free(&frame->metadata);
av_buffer_unref(&frame->qp_table_buf);

get_frame_defaults(frame);
}

AVPacket

AVPacket的初始化函数有两个：av_init_packet()，av_new_packet()。销毁函数是av_free_packet()。在初始化函数中av_init_packet()比较简单，初始化一些字段；而av_new_packet()相对“高级”一些，除了包含av_init_packet()的功能之外，还包含了AVPacket内部内存的分配。下面分别看看这些函数。

av_init_packet()

av_init_packet()的声明位于libavcodec\avcodec.h，如下所示。

/**
* Initialize optional fields of a packet with default values.
*
* Note, this does not touch the data and size members, which have to be
* initialized separately.
*
* @param pkt packet
*/
void av_init_packet(AVPacket *pkt);

av_init_packet()的定义位于libavcodec\avpacket.c。如下所示。

void av_init_packet(AVPacket *pkt)
{
pkt->pts                  = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
pkt->dts                  = AV_NOPTS_VALUE;
pkt->pos                  = -1;
pkt->duration             = 0;
pkt->convergence_duration = 0;
pkt->flags                = 0;
pkt->stream_index         = 0;
#if FF_API_DESTRUCT_PACKET
FF_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS
pkt->destruct             = NULL;
FF_ENABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS
#endif
pkt->buf                  = NULL;
pkt->side_data            = NULL;
pkt->side_data_elems      = 0;
}

av_new_packet()

av_new_packet()的声明位于libavcodec\avcodec.h。如下所示。

/**
* Allocate the payload of a packet and initialize its fields with
* default values.
*
* @param pkt packet
* @param size wanted payload size
* @return 0 if OK, AVERROR_xxx otherwise
*/
int av_new_packet(AVPacket *pkt, int size);

av_new_packet()的定义位于libavcodec\avpacket.c。如下所示。

int av_new_packet(AVPacket *pkt, int size)
{
AVBufferRef *buf = NULL;
int ret = packet_alloc(&buf, size);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;

av_init_packet(pkt);
pkt->buf      = buf;
pkt->data     = buf->data;
pkt->size     = size;
#if FF_API_DESTRUCT_PACKET
FF_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS
pkt->destruct = dummy_destruct_packet;
FF_ENABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS
#endif

return 0;
}

从代码可以看出，av_new_packet()调用了av_init_packet(pkt)。此外还调用了一个函数packet_alloc()。packet_alloc()函数的定义如下。

static int packet_alloc(AVBufferRef **buf, int size)
{
int ret;
if ((unsigned)size >= (unsigned)size + FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE)
return AVERROR(EINVAL);

ret = av_buffer_realloc(buf, size + FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE);
if (ret < 0)
return ret;

memset((*buf)->data + size, 0, FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE);

return 0;
}

packet_alloc()中调用av_buffer_realloc()为AVPacket分配内存。然后调用memset()将分配的内存置0。

PS：发现AVPacket的结构随着FFmpeg的发展越发复杂了。原先AVPacket中的数据仅仅存在一个uint8_t类型的数组里，而现在已经使用一个专门的结构体AVBufferRef存储数据。

av_new_packet()代码的函数调用关系如下图所示。

av_free_packet()

av_free_packet()的声明位于libavcodec\avcodec.h，如下所示。

/**
* Free a packet.
*
* @param pkt packet to free
*/
void av_free_packet(AVPacket *pkt);

av_free_packet()的定义位于libavcodec\avpacket.c。如下所示。

void av_free_packet(AVPacket *pkt)
{
if (pkt) {
FF_DISABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS
if (pkt->buf)
av_buffer_unref(&pkt->buf);
#if FF_API_DESTRUCT_PACKET
else if (pkt->destruct)
pkt->destruct(pkt);
pkt->destruct = NULL;
#endif
FF_ENABLE_DEPRECATION_WARNINGS
pkt->data            = NULL;
pkt->size            = 0;

av_packet_free_side_data(pkt);
}
}

从代码可以看出，av_free_packet()调用av_buffer_unref()释放AVPacket中的数据，而后还调用了av_packet_free_side_data()释放了side_data（存储封装格式可以提供的额外的数据）。
