[FFmpeg-devel] Process for adding new fields to various contexts

[Ivan Schreter]

Hi,

I intend to fix something in H.264 decoder, but for that I need to 
communicate additional information from parser in libavcodec to 
libavformat (one flag and one count), for instance as variable in 
AVCodecParserContext. I don't want to break binary compatibility, though.

What is the proper way to do this (in particular and in general)? I 
didn't find any howto (maybe would be interesting to put it online).

Thanks & regards,

Ivan
