The object files for this tool aren't built with the /GL flag
(Whole Program Optimization), leading to the following warning
when linking:
/LTCG specified but no code generation required; remove /LTCG from
the link command line to improve linker performance
Enabling link time code generation for the console front end binary
isn't of much use, since this tool in itself isn't performance
critical.
Both encoder and decoder versions were functionally equivalent,
but I picked the decoder version (but added the static inline
keywords to it) since the encoder one was quite messy with a lot
of commented out code.
No code exists within the project for building such a trace library.
This also fixes building on OS X with -Wno-deprecated-declarations
removed, since this code contained calls to deprecated functions
within #ifdef MACOS, which now are enabled when building on OS X.
Only the 2008 version is kept up to date at the moment.
The newer versions of MSVC can open and upgrade the 2008 version
files anyway, so by removing the unmaintained ones we reduce the
confusion and maintainance burden.
Additionally, the preferred way of building with MSVC is with the
makefile build system, according to the readme.
Instead just link directly to it. This matches how the library is
linked/loaded in encConsole/h264enc as well.
Only the 2008 version project file is updated for now, since
the 2010 and 2012 ones are out of sync right now.
These files are unmaintained and outdated, not even functional
in the initial commit of the project. Additionally, no similar
files are present for the decoder.
