Re: [mpeg2-dev] Exception in mpeg2_idct_copy_sse2

[Matthew M. <mmc...@gm...>]

Hi Keith,

Just resending last mail without attachment so it's not bounced by the
mailing-list.

I've compiled both sample1 and mpeg2dec and they both suffer the same problem.
I've compiled version 0.4.1 and that works fine - which is to be
expected as the SSE2 support was introduced in version .5

I'm building my own version. My project has these source files:

libmpeg2\alloc.c
libmpeg2\decode.c
libmpeg2\header.c
libmpeg2\idct.c
libmpeg2\motion_comp.c
libmpeg2\motion_comp_vis.c
libmpeg2\slice.c
libmpeg2\convert\rgb.c
libmpeg2\convert\rgb_vis.c
libmpeg2\convert\uyvy.c

and these object files:
vc++\cpu_accel.obj
vc++\cpu_state.obj
vc++\idct_mmx.obj
vc++\motion_comp_mmx.obj
vc++\rgb_mmx.obj

I tried compiling these .obj files from their corresponding source .c
files but without success -  I don't think they're intended to be
built with vc++.

The only changes I've made is removing #define restrict __restrict from config.h

I can easily email out my complete solution should anyone with windows
and Visual Studio 2005 be willing to take a look.
(I don't think I can send attachments to this forum)

Cheers,
Matt
