I didn't realize those were turned into member vars when we threaded the
lookahead.  Yuck.

my suggestion would be to move the weightp analysis higher then.

if (cfg->param.bEnableWeightedPred && b == p1 && b != p0 &&
fenc->lowresMvs[0][b - p0 - 1][0].x == 0x7FFF)
    weightsAnalyse(...);
bDoSearch[0] = b != p0 && fenc->lowresMvs[0][b - p0 - 1][0].x == 0x7FFF;
bDoSearch[1] = b != p1 && fenc->lowresMvs[1][p1 - b - 1][0].x == 0x7FFF;
