A safe and ergonomic Rust interface for FFmpeg integration, designed for ease of use.

//! Safe RAII ownership of a raw `*mut AVFilterGraph`.
//!
//! [`FilterGraph`] owns a libavfilter graph allocated by `avfilter_graph_alloc`
//! and frees it — along with every filter context it contains — via
//! `avfilter_graph_free` on [`Drop`]. It mirrors [`crate::raw::FormatContext`]:
//! move-only, single owner, single free, so the graph is released exactly once
//! on every return path. This replaces the hand-balanced `avfilter_graph_free`
//! calls that had to be repeated before each early return — and were missed on
//! some `?` paths, leaking the graph.
//!
//! Naming: this is the raw owning handle. It deliberately shares the short name
//! `FilterGraph` with the raw-module convention (drop the `AV` prefix, like
//! `FormatContext`), and is therefore distinct from the domain descriptor
//! [`crate::core::context::filter_graph::FilterGraph`]. Consumers that see both
//! refer to this one path-qualified as `raw::FilterGraph`.

// Compiled even under docsrs: the filter worker's slot and `cleanup_filtergraph`
// (which have no docsrs stub) name `Option<FilterGraph>` there. Under docsrs the
// real allocators are `#[cfg(not(docsrs))]`, so `alloc`/`as_ptr` are never
// called and would warn — suppress that (docsrs only; the normal build still
// catches real dead code).
#![cfg_attr(docsrs, allow(dead_code))]

/// Sole owner of a `*mut AVFilterGraph`.
