Is it possible to add the ability to pass an iterator into the encoder (without having an effect on performance)?
I tried looking through the code but it was a bit too complex for me.
Why I ask is that in case you have BGR data, you currently have to convert it beforehand.
Which means going through everything just to convert it,
it's very fast though, but I would imagine it being faster if it could be done when the data is actually being encoded.
Here's an example of BGR to RGB:
pub fn bgr_to_rgb(b: &mut [u8]) {
// swap R<->B to convert BGR->RGB
b.chunks_exact_mut(3).for_each(|l| l.swap(0, 2));
}Now if we could pass an iterator the swap could be done on-the-fly which might be more cache friendly as well.
Thoughts on this?
