FLAC / Re: FLAC v1.4.x Performance Tests

Also, I think the binary is currently too fat, so it impacts branch prediction, which is most profound on small blocksizes.

Too fat in binary size or amount of code?  For me, FLAC built with GCC 12.x produces the smallest binary, and at least on my system has the best performance, even if by a very small amount.

Static binary size for x86_64:
 GCC-11 = 701.4k
 GCC-12 = 689.4k
 GCC-13 = 733.4k
 GCC-14 = 733.4k

I think he's depressed from all the drama with ffmpeg and that's causing the discontent with everything. I don't necessarily agree with his commentary but I think it's a shame if he leaves.

What do you think propaganda means?
It's not even necessarily wrong or evil.
Two answers, among many other ones:

Quote from: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/propaganda
information, ideas, opinions, or images, often only giving one part of an argument, that are broadcast, published, or in some other way spread with the intention of influencing people's opinions

Quote from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda
Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented.

I am really just guessing here. The bounds check is indeed per sample, but there are also additional checks for missing blocks and such. Even the per-sample checks can affect the per-frame overhead if the per-frame "loop" no longer fits the branch prediction history.

Nice complotist vocabulary.

Are you trying to out-drama the OP?

When some people have a different opinion than yours it's not propaganda, it's just a different opinion.

What do you think propaganda means?

It's just the organized/proselytized form of "different opinion".

It's not even necessarily wrong or evil.

Those who want words like "propaganda" and "agenda" to be automatically negatively-connoted, are the same who want to enjoy a monopoly of their use.
