Detailed Description

Rational number calculation.

While rational numbers can be expressed as floating-point numbers, the conversion process is a lossy one, so are floating-point operations. On the other hand, the nature of FFmpeg demands highly accurate calculation of timestamps. This set of rational number utilities serves as a generic interface for manipulating rational numbers as pairs of numerators and denominators.

Many of the functions that operate on AVRational's have the suffix _q, in reference to the mathematical symbol "ℚ" (Q) which denotes the set of all rational numbers.

Function Documentation

static AVRational av_make_q ( int  num,
int  den 
)
inlinestatic

Create an AVRational.

Useful for compilers that do not support compound literals.

Note
The return value is not reduced.
See also
av_reduce()

Definition at line 71 of file rational.h.

static int av_cmp_q ( AVRational  a,
AVRational  b 
)
inlinestatic

Compare two rationals.

Parameters
aFirst rational
bSecond rational
Returns
One of the following values:
  • 0 if a == b
  • 1 if a > b
  • -1 if a < b
  • INT_MIN if one of the values is of the form 0 / 0

Definition at line 89 of file rational.h.

static double av_q2d ( AVRational  a)
inlinestatic

Convert an AVRational to a double.

Parameters
aAVRational to convert
Returns
a in floating-point form
See also
av_d2q()

Definition at line 104 of file rational.h.

Referenced by av_ts_make_time_string().

int av_reduce ( int *  dst_num,
int *  dst_den,
int64_t  num,
int64_t  den,
int64_t  max 
)

Reduce a fraction.

This is useful for framerate calculations.

Parameters
[out]dst_numDestination numerator
[out]dst_denDestination denominator
[in]numSource numerator
[in]denSource denominator
[in]maxMaximum allowed values for dst_num & dst_den
Returns
1 if the operation is exact, 0 otherwise
AVRational av_mul_q ( AVRational  b,
AVRational  c 
) const

Multiply two rationals.

Parameters
bFirst rational
cSecond rational
Returns
b*c
AVRational av_div_q ( AVRational  b,
AVRational  c 
) const

Divide one rational by another.

Parameters
bFirst rational
cSecond rational
Returns
b/c
AVRational av_add_q ( AVRational  b,
AVRational  c 
) const

Add two rationals.

Parameters
bFirst rational
cSecond rational
Returns
b+c
AVRational av_sub_q ( AVRational  b,
AVRational  c 
) const

Subtract one rational from another.

Parameters
bFirst rational
cSecond rational
Returns
b-c
static av_always_inline AVRational av_inv_q ( AVRational  q)
static

Invert a rational.

Parameters
qvalue
Returns
1 / q

Definition at line 159 of file rational.h.

AVRational av_d2q ( double  d,
int  max 
) const

Convert a double precision floating point number to a rational.

In case of infinity, the returned value is expressed as {1, 0} or {-1, 0} depending on the sign.

Parameters
ddouble to convert
maxMaximum allowed numerator and denominator
Returns
d in AVRational form
See also
av_q2d()
int av_nearer_q ( AVRational  q,
AVRational  q1,
AVRational  q2 
)

Find which of the two rationals is closer to another rational.

Parameters
qRational to be compared against
q1,q2Rationals to be tested
Returns
One of the following values:
  • 1 if q1 is nearer to q than q2
  • -1 if q2 is nearer to q than q1
  • 0 if they have the same distance
int av_find_nearest_q_idx ( AVRational  q,
const AVRational q_list 
)

Find the value in a list of rationals nearest a given reference rational.

Parameters
qReference rational
q_listArray of rationals terminated by {0, 0}
Returns
Index of the nearest value found in the array
uint32_t av_q2intfloat ( AVRational  q)

Convert an AVRational to a IEEE 32-bit float expressed in fixed-point format.

Parameters
qRational to be converted
Returns
Equivalent floating-point value, expressed as an unsigned 32-bit integer.
Note
The returned value is platform-indepedant.
