[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 02/14] bytestream: Make get_bytes_left compatible with overread

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

bytestream2_get_bytes_left returns an unsigned int; as a result,
it returns big positive numbers if an overread already happened,
making it unsuitable for scenarios where one wants to allow this
in a controlled way (because the buffer is actually padded so that
no segfaults can happen). So change it to return an ordinary int.

Also, bytestream2_get_bytes_left_p has been modified in the same way.

Implemented James' suggestion to return an int. I have not found a place
where this would pose a problem.
