get_ue_golomb_31() reads nine bits and an array with 512 entries to parse golomb codes. The longest golomb codes that fit into 9 bits use four leading zeroes and five value bits and can encode numbers in the 0..30 range. 31 meanwhile is encoded on 11 bits and if the nine bits read coincide with the first nine bits of the encoding of 31, get_ue_golomb_31() returns 31 (and skips 11 bits). But looking at the first nine bits only makes it impossible to distinguish 31 from 32..34. Therefore the documentation of get_ue_golomb_31() simply states that the return value is undefined if the value of the encountered exp golomb code was outside the 0..31 range. But actually get_ue_golomb_31() does not behave that bad: If the returned value is in the range of 0..30, then this is the actually encountered value, so that this function can be used without any problems to parse and validate parameters whose legal values are a subset of the 0..30 range. This commit documents this fact. Reviewed-by:
