[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 076/162] avcodec/mss4: Simplify creating VLC tables

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

The lengths of the codes used by the mss4 decoder are ascending from
left to right and therefore the lengths can be run-length encoded and
the codes can be easily derived from them. And this is how it is indeed
done. Yet some things can nevertheless be improved:

a) The number of entries of the current VLC is implicitly contained in
the run-length table and needn't be externally prescribed.
b) The maximum length of a code is just the length of the last code
(given that the lengths are ascending), so there is no point in setting
max_bits in the loop itself.
c) One can offload the actual calculation of the codes to
ff_init_vlc_from_lengths().
