This throws out some ugly `#define`s we had that were taking the role
of an enum anyway. We now have some nice getters in the contexts that
take the place of the combo of `seg_feature_active()` and then doing a
lookup in `FrameContext::m_segmentation_features` directly.
Using malloc does not invoke T's constructor, nor were were invoking T's
constructor ourselves. Accessing T without invoking its constructor is
undefined behavior.
This adds a new WorkerThread class to run one task asynchronously,
and allow waiting for that thread to finish its work.
TileContexts are placed into multiple tile column vectors with their
streams to read from pre-created. Once those are ready, the threads can
start their work on each vector separately. The main thread waits for
those tasks to finish, then sums up the syntax element counts for each
tile that was decoded.
Changing the calculation of reference frame scale factors to be done on
a per-frame basis reduces the amount of work done in
`predict_inter_block()`, which is a big hotspot in most videos.
This reduces decode times in a test video from YouTube by about 5%
(~37.2s -> ~35.4s).
That matches the terminology used in ITU-T Rec. H.273,
PNG's cICP chunk, and the ICC cicpTag.
Also change the enum values to match the values in the spec --
0 means "not full range" and 1 means "full range".
(For now, keep the "Unspecified" entry around, and give it value 2.
This value is not in the spec.)
No intended behavior change.
Like the non-zero tokens and segmentation IDs, these can be moved into
the tile decoding loop for above context and allocated by TileContext
for left context.
The array containing the vertical line of bools indicating whether non-
zero tokens were decoded in each sub-block is moved to TileContext, and
a span of the valid range for a block to read and write to is created
when we construct a BlockContext.
Moving these to another header allows Parser.h to include less context
structs/classes that were previously in Context.h.
This change will also allow consolidating some common calculations into
Context.h, since we won't be polluting the VP9 namespace as much. There
are quite a few duplicate calculations for block size, transform size,
number of horizontal and vertical sub-blocks per block, all of which
could be moved to Context.h to allow for code deduplication and more
semantic code where those calculations are needed.
