And yes, it's a great improvement and I hope the review can be finished and patch merged. Viterbi is the most CPU hungry part of osmo-bts on UmTRX and other SDR platforms.
then please find some time to review/include it. I can set barriers like (requires a testcase, ABI/API changes need a TODO-RELEASE entry) but I would like the people that end up using these routines to comment and review them.
Yeah, it's my bad ...
But I'm travelling for the next 10 days so won't happen immediately.
I'll at least try to re-read the discussion to see exactly what needs to be done to get to a state where it can be merged even if it's not perfect.
Cheers,
Sylvain
