[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] lls: move the Cholesky decomposition in a separate function

I intend to isolate the code that can be useful in other context that just
the LPC computations. The Cholesty decomposition seemed a good place to
start, since it is a very well defined and delimited part of the code.

And the comments were really missing for anyone who wanted to understand
this code.

I rewrote the code to be sure that I really understood it. And in the end, I
chose to submit my version because it did not have the hardcoded limit on
the size of the matrice, although I admit it comes at the cost of harder to
read pointer arithmetic.

I can re-submit the same with exactly your code if you prefer.

Or I can write code using a VLA prototype:

void function(... unsigned n, double m[n][])

if such code is not frowned upon (it is standard C99 but I expect it may
make quite a few compilers chock).

Ok, I can live without ? and ? in the comments.
