This is just a lot of complicated and confusing code that had no purpose anymore. Also, the functions return values were checked only sometimes. Locking shouldn't fail anyway, so remove the return values. Barely any other pthread lock calls check the return value (including more important code that is more likely to fail horribly if locking fails). It could be argued that it might be helpful in some debugging situations, or when the user built FFmpeg without thread support against all good advice. But there are dummy atomics too, so the atomic check won't help with ensuring correctness absolutely. You gain very little. Also, for debugging, you can just raise the ASSERT_LEVEL, and then libavutil/thread.h will redefine the locking functions to explicitly check the return values. |
