This structure defines the codec parameters that can be modified after creation via control() calls.

@remarks    It is not necessary that given implementation support all
            dynamic parameters to be configurable at run time.  If a
            particular algorithm does not support run-time updates to
            a parameter that the application is attempting to change
            at runtime, it may indicate this as an error.

Function Documentation

IMGDEC_Handle IMGDEC_create ( Engine_Handle  e,
String  name,
IMGDEC_Params params 
)

Create an instance of an image decoder algorithm.

Instance handles must not be concurrently accessed by multiple threads;
each thread must either obtain its own handle (via IMGDEC_create()) or
explicitly serialize access to a shared handle.

@param[in]  e       Handle to an opened engine.
@param[in]  name    String identifier of the type of image decoder.
                    to create.
@param[in]  params  Creation parameters.

@retval     NULL            An error has occurred.
@retval     non-NULL        The handle to the newly created image decoder
                            instance.

@remarks    @c params is optional.  If it's not supplied, codec-specific
            default params will be used.

@remark     Depending on the configuration of the engine opened, this
            call may create a local or remote instance of the image
            decoder.

@remarks In general, @c name is the name of the codec configured by the system integrator. However, an optional "argument string" may be appended to the codec name, to allow the codec's configured priority and/or the heaps where its memory will be allocated, to be overridden.  This optional argument string is of the form <b>":priority"</b>, <b>":priority:flag"</b>, or <b>"::flag"</b>.
Remarks:
priority is the new priority to create the codec with.
The flag must be either 0 or 1, and if 1, all memory allocated for the codec will be in the heap that corresponds to IALG_EXTERNAL. If flag is 0, the memory for the codec will be allocated from the heaps it has requested. For example, if a codec named "mp3" has been configured into the system, setting name to "mp3:4" would cause the codec to be created at priority 4, instead of whatever priority was configured. This feature is useful if more than one instance of the codec are to be created at different priorities.
The flag can be used to prevent the codec from using any internal memory, for example, if it is to be run at the same time as another codec that must use internal memory, and there is insufficient internal memory for both.

@sa         IMGDEC_delete()
Int32 IMGDEC_process ( IMGDEC_Handle  handle,
XDM_BufDesc inBufs,
XDM_BufDesc outBufs,
IMGDEC_InArgs inArgs,
IMGDEC_OutArgs outArgs 
)

Execute the process() method in this instance of a image decoder algorithm.

Parameters:
[in]handleHandle to a created image decoder instance.
[in]inBufsA buffer descriptor containing input buffers.
[out]outBufsA buffer descriptor containing output buffers.
[in]inArgsInput Arguments.
[out]outArgsOutput Arguments.
Precondition:
handle is a valid (non-NULL) image decoder handle and the image decoder is in the created state.
Return values:
IMGDEC_EOKSuccess.
IMGDEC_EFAILFailure.
IMGDEC_ERUNTIMEInternal Runtime Error.
Remarks:
Since the IMGDEC decoder contains support for asynchronous buffer submission and retrieval, this API becomes known as synchronous in nature.
This is a blocking call, and will return after the data has been decoded.
The buffers supplied to IMGDEC_process() may have constraints put on them. For example, in dual-processor, shared memory architectures, where the codec is running on a remote processor, the buffers may need to be physically contiguous. Additionally, the remote processor may place restrictions on buffer alignment.
If an error is returned, outArgs->extendedError may indicate further details about the error. See IMGDEC_OutArgs::extendedError for details.

Int32 IMGDEC_control ( IMGDEC_Handle  handle,
IMGDEC_Cmd  id,
IMGDEC_DynamicParams params,
IMGDEC_Status status 
)

Execute the control() method in this instance of an image decoder algorithm.

Parameters:
[in]handleHandle to a created image decoder instance.
[in]idCommand id for XDM control operation.
[in]paramsRuntime control parameters used for decoding.
[out]statusStatus info upon completion of decode operation.
Precondition:
handle is a valid (non-NULL) image decoder handle and the image decoder is in the created state.
Return values:
IMGDEC_EOKSuccess.
IMGDEC_EFAILFailure.
IMGDEC_ERUNTIMEInternal Runtime Error.
Remarks:
This is a blocking call, and will return after the control command has been executed.
If an error is returned, status->extendedError may indicate further details about the error. See IMGDEC_Status::extendedError for details.

Void IMGDEC_delete ( IMGDEC_Handle  handle)

Delete the instance of a image decoder algorithm.

Parameters:
[in]handleHandle to a created image decoder instance.
Remarks:
Depending on the configuration of the engine opened, this call may delete a local or remote instance of the image decoder.

handle is a valid (non-NULL) handle which is in the created state.
Postcondition:
All resources allocated as part of the IMGDEC_create() operation (memory, DMA channels, etc.) are freed.

XDAS_Int32 IMGDEC_processAsync ( IMGDEC_Handle  handle,
XDM_BufDesc inBufs,
XDM_BufDesc outBufs,
IMGDEC_InArgs inArgs,
IMGDEC_OutArgs outArgs 
)

Perform asynchronous submission to this instance of an image decoder algorithm.

Parameters:
[in]handleHandle to a created image decoder instance.
[in]inBufsA buffer descriptor containing input buffers.
[out]outBufsA buffer descriptor containing output buffers.

Return values:
IMGDEC_EOKSuccess.
IMGDEC_EFAILFailure.
IMGDEC_ERUNTIMEInternal Runtime Error.
Remarks:
This API is the asynchronous counterpart to the process() method. It allows for buffer and argument submission without waiting for retrieval. A response is retrieved using the IMGDEC_processWait() API.
The buffers supplied to IMGDEC_processAsync() may have constraints put on them. For example, in dual-processor, shared memory architectures, where the codec is running on a remote processor, the buffers may need to be physically contiguous. Additionally, the remote processor may place restrictions on buffer alignment.

IMGDEC_EOKSuccess.
IMGDEC_EFAILFailure.
IMGDEC_ERUNTIMEInternal Runtime Error.
IMGDEC_ETIMEOUTOperation timed out.
Remarks:
This is a blocking call, and will return after the data has been decoded.
"Polling" is supported by using a timeout of 0. Waiting forever is supported by using a timeout of IMGDEC_EFOREVER.
There must have previously been an invocation of the IMGDEC_processAsync() API.
The buffers supplied to IMGDEC_processAsync() may have constraints put on them. For example, in dual-processor, shared memory architectures, where the codec is running on a remote processor, the buffers may need to be physically contiguous. Additionally, the remote processor may place restrictions on buffer alignment.
