From ff800903747325f15056444c11053279e391d60b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Rheinhardt Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2021 10:56:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] avutil/utils: Remove racy check from avutil_version() avutil_version() currently performs several checks before just returning the version. There is a static int that aims to ensure that these tests are run only once. The reason is that there used to be a slightly expensive check, but it has been removed in 92e3a6fdac73f7e1d69d69717219a7538877d7a0. Today running only once is unnecessary and can be counterproductive: GCC 10 optimizes all the actual checks away, but the checks_done variable and the code setting it has been kept. Given that this check is inherently racy (it uses non-atomic variables), it is best to just remove it.
