Anton Khirnov d2096679d5 compat/w32pthreads: change pthread_t into pointer to malloced struct
pthread_t is currently defined as a struct, which gets placed into
caller's memory and filled by pthread_create() (which accepts a
pthread_t*).

The problem with this approach is that pthread_join() accepts pthread_t
itself rather than a pointer to it, so it gets a _copy_ of this
structure. This causes non-deterministic failures of pthread_join() to
produce the correct return value - depending on whether the thread
already finished before pthread_join() is called (and thus the copy
contains the correct value), or not (then it contains 0).

Change the definition of pthread_t into a pointer to a struct, that gets
malloced by pthread_create() and freed by pthread_join().

Fixes random failures of fate-ffmpeg-error-rate-fail on Windows after
433cf391f5.

See also [1] for an alternative approach that does not require dynamic
allocation, but relies on an assumption that the pthread_t value
remains in a fixed memory location.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.

Documentation
