Introduction

This is a collection of helpful macros and functions.

Macros

inline

It’s defined to _inline for Visual Studio’s C mode.

VS_RESTRICT

Attempts to provide a portable definition of the C99 restrict keyword, or its C++ counterpart.

VS_ALIGNED_MALLOC

VS_ALIGNED_MALLOC(pptr, size, alignment)

Expands to _aligned_malloc() in Windows, and posix_memalign() elsewhere. Note that the arguments are in the style of posix_memalign().

pptr is a pointer to a pointer.

VS_ALIGNED_FREE

VS_ALIGNED_FREE(ptr)

Expands to _aligned_free() in Windows, and free() elsewhere.

ptr is a pointer.

VSMIN

VSMIN(a, b)

Returns the minimum of the two numbers.

VSMAX

VSMAX(a, b)

Returns the maximum of the two numbers.

Functions

vs_aligned_malloc

T *vs_aligned_malloc(size_t size, size_t alignment)

A templated aligned malloc for C++. It uses the same functions as the VS_ALIGNED_MALLOC macro but is easier to use.

vs_aligned_free

void vs_aligned_free(void *ptr)

This simply uses the VS_ALIGNED_FREE macro.

isConstantFormat

static inline int isConstantFormat(const VSVideoInfo *vi)

Checks if a clip’s format and dimensions are known (and therefore constant).

isSameFormat

static inline int isSameFormat(const VSVideoInfo *v1, const VSVideoInfo *v2)

Checks if two clips have the same format and dimensions. If the format is unknown in both, it will be considered the same. This is also true for the dimensions.

muldivRational

static inline void muldivRational(int64_t *num, int64_t *den, int64_t mul, int64_t div)

Multiplies two rational numbers and reduces the result, i.e. num/den * mul/div. The result is stored in num and den.

The caller must ensure that div is not 0.

vs_addRational

static inline void vs_addRational(int64_t *num, int64_t *den, int64_t addnum, int64_t addden)

Adds two rational numbers and reduces the result, i.e. num/den + addnum/addden. The result is stored in num and den.

vs_normalizeRational

static inline void vs_normalizeRational(int64_t *num, int64_t *den)

Reduces a rational number.

int64ToIntS

static inline int int64ToIntS(int64_t i)

Converts an int64_t to int with signed saturation. It’s useful to silence warnings when reading integer properties from a VSMap and to avoid unexpected behavior on int overflow.

vs_bitblt

static inline void vs_bitblt(void *dstp, int dst_stride, const void *srcp, int src_stride, size_t row_size, size_t height)

Copies bytes from one plane to another. Basically, it is memcpy in a loop.

row_size is in bytes.

areValidDimensions

static inline int areValidDimensions(const VSFormat *fi, int width, int height)

Checks if the given dimensions are valid for a particular format, with regards to chroma subsampling.
