AVPacket 的data 在内存中buffer有两种情况:
1)由av_malloc申请的独立的buffer(unshared buffer);
2)是其他AVPacket或者其他reuseable 内存的一部分(shared buffer);
av_dup_packet, 通过调用 av_malloc、memcpy、memset等函数, 将shared buffer 的AVPacket duplicate(复制)到独立的buffer中。并且修改AVPacket的析构函数指针av_destruct_pkt。
av_dup_packet源码:
00092 int av_dup_packet(AVPacket *pkt)
00093 {
00094 if (((pkt->destruct == av_destruct_packet_nofree) || (pkt->destruct == NULL)) && pkt->data) {
00095 uint8_t *data;
00096 /* We duplicate the packet and don't forget to add the padding again. */
00097 if((unsigned)pkt->size > (unsigned)pkt->size + FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE)
00098 return AVERROR(ENOMEM);
00099 data = av_malloc(pkt->size + FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE);
00100 if (!data) {
00101 return AVERROR(ENOMEM);
00102 }
00103 memcpy(data, pkt->data, pkt->size);
00104 memset(data + pkt->size, 0, FF_INPUT_BUFFER_PADDING_SIZE);
00105 pkt->data = data;
00106 pkt->destruct = av_destruct_packet;
00107 }
00108 return 0;
00109 }
