... and you still gave no reason to believe that even one of your claims
would have been justified.

What he posted doesn't actually solve anything yet. It just makes it
easier to add hacks that make variables global (unnecessarily, to hack
around the problems triggered by MANGLE) in the future.

I wouldn't call the hack proposed by Reimar "clean" in any sense.
I've already posted a patch that makes the cabac.h asm cleaner, more
maintainable, no more fragile and no slower (possibly slightly faster).
Since I've already tested that and shown it to work I see little reason
to do that for all files when it seems unlikely to get included in
FFmpeg anyway and I have no interest in maintaining a fork.
