[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 4/4] avcodec/xpm: Minor speed increase for mod_strcspn() use string pointer

[Jose Da Silva]

Incrementing pointer *ps once is faster than computing string[i] for each
time we need it.

Bug fix: For the remote possibility of a crazy-long comment section that
overflows int, this fix can also return a value larger than sizeof(int).
