[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 20/71] avcodec/mpegpicture: Always reset motion val buffer

[Andreas Rheinhardt]

Codecs call ff_find_unused_picture() to get the index of
an unused picture; said picture may have buffers left
from using it previously (these buffers are intentionally
not unreferenced so that it might be possible to reuse them;
this is mpegvideo's version of a bufferpool). They should
not make any assumptions about which picture they get.
Yet somehow this is not true when decoding OBMC: Returning
random empty pictures (instead of the first one) leads
to nondeterministic results; similarly, explicitly
rezeroing the buffer before handing it over to the codec
changes the outcome of the h263-obmc tests, but it makes it
independent of the returned pictures. Therefore this commit
does so.
