[XviD-devel] xvid_stat updated in stable tree

[Edouard Gomez]

I  need  feedback on  this  small  application,  win32 users,  please,
compile  it and  tell me  if you  windows reports  a  memory exception
error. I have access to only  1 windows pc and this windows reports me
"errors" while  the same source  code compiled with cygwin  works just
fine.

I need  your feedback because xvid_stat  can be a  good replacement to
all outdated  examples (xvid_encraw.c, xvid_deccraw.c, xvid_enc_dec.c,
ex1/*) if it works well on all platforms. I plan to remove all uneeded
and/or duplicated pieces  of code in examples.  So  i'll surely remove
all examples except xvid_bench, xvid_stat and odivx_enc_dec.

xvid_stat is known to work with these environments :
  - GNU/Linux x86
  - Win32 NT4 + Cygwin 1.3.12 x86

xvid_bench is known to work on :
  - GNU/Linux x86

I'll do some tests on sourceforge compile farms (gnu/linux ppc, macosx
ppc, and freebsd  4.? x86) tomorrow...  but *please*  give me feedback
for other win32 platforms.

PS : xvid_bench has to use gettimeofday that win32 OSes have not, i'll
try to  replace this call  with clock(). This reduces  time precision,
because gettimeofday  has useconds and  clock (according to  the POSIX
standard) has only msecond precision. GetSystemTime has msecond too.
