This seems to confuse Github users into thinking that we may accept pull
requests. We do not accept pull requests.
Sending patches to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list is our preferred method
for users to contribute code.

The Developer Documentation had instructions to
subscribe to the ffmpeg-cvslog email list. But that is
no longer accurate. For the purposes in this section --
review of patches, discussion of development issues --
ffmpeg_devel is the appropriate email list. Some developers
may want to monitor ffmpeg-cvslog, but it is not mandatory.
This is v3 of this doc, based on discussion in thread
<https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-November/220528.html>
and in response to docs Maintainer comments in
<https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-December/221596.html>.
1. In doc/developer.texi, add a new section about
ffmpeg-devel, based on existing text from ffmpeg-cvslog
section regarding discussion of patches and of
development issues. Reflect wording from discussion at
<https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2017-November/221199.html>
but with copy-editing to make wording more concise.
2. In doc/developer.texi, rewrite the ffmpeg-cvslog section
to match the current usage of ffmpeg-cvslog. Some
developers choose to follow this list, but it is not
mandatory.
There are a lot of improvements possible to the
Developer Documentation page, beyond this refactoring.
However, making those improvements is a much bigger
and more difficult task. This change is "low hanging
fruit".

Previously, the Developer Documentation <ffmpeg.org/developer.html>
contained a single chapter, "1. Developer Guide," with all content under
that single chapter. Thus the document structure was one level deeper
and more complicated than it needed to be. It differed from similar
documents such as /faq.html, which have multiple chapters.
Eliminate the single chapter, and promote each section underneath to
chapter, and each subsection to section. Thus content and relative
structure remains the same, but the overall structure is simpler.
Anchors within the page remain the same.

This makes the currently semi-public avpriv_aac_parse_header() function
private to libavcodec and adds a proper public API function to return
the parts of the ADTS header required in libavformat.
Fixes regression as of ee72b6d1

Replace the sections "API" and "Integrating libavcodec or libavformat"
with updated / more accurate text.

Subject: [FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] doc/developer: merge and update sections about external development

With the parameter --toolchain valgrind-massif, the configure
script sets reasonable defaults that can be overridden as explained
in the documentation.
With the parameter --valgrind-memcheck, the configure script sets
reasonable defaults that can be overridden as explained in the
documentation.
The idea of using set_defaults is from Luca Barbato.
The gcov/lcov are a common toolchain for visualizing code coverage with
the GNU/Toolchain. The documentation and implementation of this
integration was heavily inspired from the blog entry by Mike Melanson:
http://multimedia.cx/eggs/using-lcov-with-ffmpeg/
It's obviously undesireable to blindly allocate memory based on
a damaged 'size' value, for example.

If a bug exists on the tracker, its ID should always be included
in fix messages.
Also, any relevant bug fixes should be CC'd to libav-stable, so
we can actually track what needs to be backported, instead of
just randomly combing the git history and old CVEs.
