No description
Besides being nicer code this also has the advantage of not making assumptions about the internal implementation: While it is documented that the AVFilter.inputs and AVFilter.outputs arrays are terminated by a zeroed sentinel, one is not allowed to infer that one can just check avfilter_pad_get_name(padarray, i) to see whether one has reached the sentinel: It could be that the pointer to the string is contained in a different structure than AVFilterPad that needs to be accessed first: return pad->struct->string. It could be that for small strings an internal buffer in AVFilterPad is used (to avoid a relocation) whereas for longer strings an external string is used; this is useful to avoid relocations: return pad->string_ptr ? pad->string_ptr : pad->interal_string Or it could be that the name has a default value: return pad->name ? pad->name : "default" (This actually made sense for us because the name of most of our AVFilterPads is just "default"; doing so would save lots of relocations.) The only thing one is allowed to infer from the existence of the sentinel is that one is allowed to use avfilter_pad_count() to get the number of pads. Therefore it is used.
