I'm fine with someone doing s/POST_INIT_SETTABLE/MUTABLE/g on the patch before committing it if they feel that's better, but ALTERABLE seems like a bad idea. I guess you could argue a sufficiently inattentive reader might read "POST_INIT_SETTABLE" to mean "*only* settable after init", even though the documentation says otherwise. But such a reader might also read "ALTERABLE" to somehow mean "data type can be altered" (like SQL's ALTER TABLE statement), whereas "mutable" conventionally means "contents can be altered". But this is just a nitpick - POST_INIT_SETTABLE is still fine by me. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
