[vlc-devel] [PATCH] filter: add a pf_close callback

[Alexandre Janniaux]

Hi,

For now it's conservative, it calls pf_close() if it is set
before calling filter's deactivate if there is one.

One can port any filter from deactivate to pf_close by setting
pf_close and using set_callback instead of set_callbacks, without
modifying the other filter.

What we need to keep in mind is that module_unneed is calling
vlc_objres_clear() which we cannot call outside of the core.

Regards,
