Niklas HaasandClaude Opus 5.5 0e49820959 swscale: generate disjoint uop macros for the C and x86 backends
Previously, the uop macros were generated from the union of uops over all
backends, so each backend would also instantiate uops that only the other
one can ever use. Split off a separate "x86" backend, and generate a separate
C header for it, together with its NASM macros in a single pass.

The x86 backend only enables SWS_UOP_FLAG_FMA on CPUs with FMA3, so generate
its uops both with and without FMA.

This does not reduce the checkasm coverage: the uops removed from
uops_macros.h are all LINEAR_FMA, READ_PLANAR_FV_FMA or RW_SHUFFLE, which
checkasm does not test, since the C reference backend cannot run them. The
only tests that disappear are the SSE4 and AVX2 variants of two U8 PERMUTE
kernels, which the x86 backend no longer builds because it never uses them.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
