#1343 closed enhancement (fixed)

HM should stop on unknown parameters

Reported by: ksuehring Owned by:
Priority: major Milestone: HM-16.4
Component: HM Version: HM-16.2
Keywords: Cc: ksuehring, davidf, karlsharman, jct-vc@…

Description

It has been requested that the HM encoder should fail when it encounters an unknown parameter.

The advantage is that when parameters get changed or renamed, old configuration files will fail instead of running with unexpected defaults.

HM currently only issues a warning.

comment:4 Changed 9 years ago by ksuehring

As discussed privately before, I have added an option to restore the old behavior (only warn) using a command line option. The new patch adds "WarnUnknowParameter" or short "w" to the encoder, but does not change the output texts (i.e. "error").

The code can easily be replicated at the decoder.

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

The patch (including the same parameter in the decoder) has been applied in r4339.
