Description

m_callerOwnsSEIs (SEI.h, line 487) is not initialized for SEIScalableNesting, however it is used in the destructor.

It can be fixed as the following:

  SEIScalableNesting()
    : m_callerOwnsSEIs(false)
  {}

I've committed the suggested version in r4345

But in general that construction is not very safe. If the flag is set wrong, we end up either in double free or memory leaks. So it's hard to determine a "safe" initialization value.

Also the construction existed only for sharing the SEI structures at the encoder, which used to just pass a pointer to the picture timing and buffering period SEI messages into the scalable nesting.

Now with the recent SEI encoder rewrite, which introduced delayed SEI writing, this sharing is not possible anymore. So we don't need m_callerOwnsSEIs anymore. Actually it was still used incorrectly at the encoder, causing a memory leak.

I have removed m_callerOwnsSEIs in r4346
