Worked on foundational API safety and resource management within the intel/vpl-gpu-rt repository, focusing on the MFXVideo API. Developed scaffolding for the rule of three by adding stubs for the copy constructor and copy assignment operator in key classes, using C++ and object-oriented programming principles. This approach enforces proper resource handling and prevents accidental copying, laying the groundwork for future RAII-based improvements. The work centered on architectural scaffolding rather than bug fixes, aiming to enhance long-term stability and maintainability. These changes set a clear path for safer API usage and easier downstream maintenance in future development cycles.
