carrier.rs

//! The carrier-strategy seam: which lane a demuxer or decoder captures
//! into.
//!
//! This crate ships **two first-class carriers**, and neither is a
//! feature flag on the other:
//!
//! * [`Owned`] captures into [`FfmpegBytes`](crate::FfmpegBytes) — every
//!   byte copied once at the boundary into memory Rust owns. `Send +
//!   Sync`, lifetime answerable to nobody, safe to fan out across a
//!   graph. This is the default, and the lane the
//!   [amputation contract][law] governs.
//! * [`View`] captures into [`FfmpegBuffer`](crate::FfmpegBuffer) — a
//!   refcounted view onto the allocation FFmpeg already made. `Send`
//!   and **not** `Sync`, lifetime pinned to the backend's pools,
//!   zero-copy.
//!
//! # Why a sealed seam and not an open trait
//!
//! A carrier strategy is not an extension point. Implementing one
//! correctly means knowing what an `AVBufferRef` guarantees, which
//! plane extents are initialised, and which of this crate's proofs run
//! before a capture is allowed to happen — knowledge that lives in this
//! crate and cannot be documented into a third party. A third strategy
//! would also have to answer the questions this seam does not ask,
//! because only two lanes exist to ask them of.
//!
//! So the trait is **sealed**: public to name and to bound on, closed
//! to implement. If a third lane is ever wanted, it is added here,
//! where it can be held to the same proofs — the seam being closed is
//! what makes that a change to one file rather than a change to a
//! contract.
//!
//! # Why the operations are not public either
//!
//! Sealing stopped outsiders *implementing* the seam. It did not stop
//! them *calling* it, and for a while that was a hole with teeth: the
//! operations take offsets, lengths and row geometry which the unsafe
//! layer beneath them acts on, so their invariants live in the caller.
//! `View::from_rows(1, 64, |_| &[0])` was safe code, compiled, and
//! copied sixty-four bytes out of a one-byte slice.
//!
//! Two answers, applied together:
//!
//! * every operation moved onto the private supertrait in
//!   [`sealed`], which no path outside this crate can name and
//!   therefore no call outside this crate can reach. What stays public
//!   is the *name* of a lane and the ability to bound on it — which is
//!   all a consumer ever needed;
//! * and where a length still arrives from a caller, it is **checked**
//!   rather than asserted. A `debug_assert` is a note to the author; it
//!   is not a bounds check, and it is not there at all in the profile
//!   that matters.
//!
//! The rule the two share: an invariant that lives in the caller is an
//! invariant the caller must be inside this crate to be trusted with.
//!
//! # Where the bound sits
//!
//! At the narrowest site each one can be written at, and no wider:
//!
//! * **Structural** on the types whose *fields* name `C::Buffer` —
//!   [`CarrierDemuxer`](crate::demuxer::CarrierDemuxer) holds built
//!   tracks, [`CarrierResampler`](crate::resampler::CarrierResampler)
//!   holds a queue of frames. A struct whose field type is a projection
//!   cannot be well-formed without the bound that gives the projection
//!   meaning, so writing it there is not a choice.
//! * **Behavioural** on the decoders, which carry `C` only as a
//!   `PhantomData` marker: their struct declarations take a bare `C`
//!   and the bound sits on the impls whose methods capture.
//! * **Absent** from `*Extra`, `SideDataEntry` and every side-data
//!   collector. Side data has no `AVBufferRef` to share, so both lanes
//!   copy it and the parameter never reaches those types at all.
//!
//! The lanes are then named by alias rather than by a defaulted type
//! parameter, because a default is used when a type is *written* and
//! never inferred from a call — `Demuxer::open(path)` would have had no
//! default to fall back on.
//!
