FFmpeg之HWContextType

HWContextType算是ffmpeg中为硬解码第三方接口的一个辅助类，它自己有两个辅助子类
AVHWDeviceContext和AVHWFramesContext。
AVHWDeviceContext主要表示硬件上下文
AVHWFramesContext主要表示硬件Frame的一些参数，比如你解码后的YUV数据还在硬件上，那么就通过这个类去存储相关参数。

那么它辅助硬解码器做什么呢？我们还是通过英伟达的例子来看

const HWContextType ff_hwcontext_type_cuda = {.type                 = AV_HWDEVICE_TYPE_CUDA,.name                 = "CUDA",.device_hwctx_size    = sizeof(AVCUDADeviceContext),.frames_priv_size     = sizeof(CUDAFramesContext),.device_create        = cuda_device_create,.device_derive        = cuda_device_derive,.device_init          = cuda_device_init,.device_uninit        = cuda_device_uninit,.frames_get_constraints = cuda_frames_get_constraints,.frames_init          = cuda_frames_init,.frames_get_buffer    = cuda_get_buffer,.transfer_get_formats = cuda_transfer_get_formats,.transfer_data_to     = cuda_transfer_data,.transfer_data_from   = cuda_transfer_data,.pix_fmts             = (const enum AVPixelFormat[]){ AV_PIX_FMT_CUDA, AV_PIX_FMT_NONE },
};

仔细看上面函数就发现，全部是device mem操作，大白话说就是ffmpeg通过这套机制来实现D2H或者H2D的操作，别无其它。

具体看看结构体定义吧，一大堆函数指针，这些就是你要实现的，不一定全部要实现，实现你自己想要的就可以了，主要的有transfer_data_to/transfer_data_from，map_to/map_from。

AVHWDeviceContext的结构体表示，硬件的抽象

常用函数

这些函数其实挺重要的，因为都是用户函数，通过这些函数去从解码器硬件上获取到你要的数据，比如av_hwframe_transfer_data/av_hwframe_get_buffer，就是说你在ffmpeg中不要显示的调用你自己的cuMemD2H或者H2D的函数，ffmpeg已经给你预留好了接口了，用这些接口去获取更加简单。
