With this patch we are finally done with section 6.4.X of the spec :^)
The only parsing left to be done is 6.5.X, motion vector prediction.
Additionally, this patch fixes how MVs were being stored in the parser.
Originally, due to the spec naming two very different values very
similarly, these properties had totally wrong data types, but this has
now been rectified.
Though technically block decoding calls into some other incomplete
methods, so it isn't functionally complete yet. However, we are
very close to being done with the 6.4.X sections :)
These elements were being used in the new tokens implementation, so
support for them in the TreeParser has been added.
Additionally, this uncovered a bug where the nonzero contexts were
being cleared with the wrong size.
The class that was previously named Decoder handled section 6.X.X of
the spec, which actually deals with parsing out the syntax of the data,
not the actual decoding logic which is specified in section 8.X.X.
The new Decoder class will be in charge of owning and running the
Parser, as well as implementing all of the decoding behavior.
Additionally, this uncovered a couple bugs with existing code,
so those have been fixed. Currently, parsing a whole video does
fail because we are now using a new calculation for frame width,
but it hasn't been fully implemented yet.
Now TreeParser has mostly complete probability calculation
implementations for all currently used syntax elements. Some of these
calculation methods aren't actually finished because they use data
we have yet to parse in the Decoder, but they're close to finished.
With the progress made in the Decoder thus far, we have the ability
to support most of the syntax element counters in the tree parser.
Additionally, it will now crash when trying to count unsupported
elements.
This patch brings all of LibVideo up to the east-const style in the
project. Additionally, it applies a few fixes from the reviews in #8170
that referred to older LibVideo code.
The TreeParser requires information about a lot of the decoder's
current state in order to parse syntax tree elements correctly, so
there has to be some communication between the Decoder and the
TreeParser. Previously, the Decoder would copy its state to the
TreeParser when it changed, however, this was a poor choice. Now,
the TreeParser simply has a reference to its owning Decoder, and
accesses its state directly.
