[miu, 2016/02/11 21:09:40]

Could you explain why you're trying to keep the |session_property_setter_| class
member variable?  The point I've been trying to make is that you do not need to
share this across two different methods.  Instead, just create it *separately*
wherever you need it (as a short-lived temporary object); just like you did in
the cast h264_vt_encoder.cc code.

Yes, it will be created each time either of the methods is called.  However,
that is actually desirable: You save memory by not storing it in the VTVEA
object long-term, and the optimizing compiler can eliminate many of the overhead
costs with constructing/destroying it when it is a local object.

[emircan, 2016/02/12 03:40:56]

I am changing it as you suggest.

I understand your points and I had those in mind when keeping it as a class
member :) It is a tradeoff. RequestEncodingParametersChange() is called many
times on an average call, almost every other second. We access 2 class members
to construct session_property_setter. I think accessing just the
|session_property_setter_| class member and using it would be cheaper as it is
small such that it has just two member pointers.
