[vlc-devel] [PATCH v3 7/8] video_output: handle the termination of the vout thread outside of control.c

[Steve Lhomme]

To terminate the thread ASAP we need to set the terminate flag (from whatever
thread) and wake up the loop if it was waiting for anything.

The control_Pop still waits for the is_held to be false, meaning other threads
doing things on the vout to be done. This was done when the vout thread loop
was just receiving VOUT_CONTROL_TERMINATE to signify the end of the thread.
