I did a git pull on a project, and started getting this message:
Warning: data is not aligned! This can lead to a speedloss
This message is uttered by swscale because the U and V pictures are not
16-byte aligned as required for SSE2, but only 8-byte aligned.
The source code indicates this is a known problem - quoting
avcodec/utils.c:250-
//STRIDE_ALIGN is 8 for SSE* but this does not work for SVQ1 chroma planes
//we could change STRIDE_ALIGN to 16 for x86/sse but it would increase the
//picture size unneccessarily in some cases. The solution here is not
//pretty and better ideas are welcome!
#if HAVE_MMX
if(s->codec_id == CODEC_ID_SVQ1 || s->codec_id == CODEC_ID_VP5 ||
s->codec_id == CODEC_ID_VP6 || s->codec_id == CODEC_ID_VP6F ||
s->codec_id == CODEC_ID_VP6A || s->codec_id == CODEC_ID_DIRAC) {
for (i = 0; i < AV_NUM_DATA_POINTERS; i++)
linesize_align[i] = 16;
}
#endif
Might it be time to bump STRIDE_ALIGN to 16 if SSE2 is supported, as the
most common use case (swscale) requires it?
Is there anything I can do to fix this without changing STRIDE_ALIGN or
an upstream change?
Thanks in advance
