Hi Kieran,
   sorry I got here later than expected

Dumb question, you called reserve on the stream_ vector, and that
reserves space for the container, but shouldn't you call push_back()
to increase its size and make sure all its internal counters are
correct. From the STL documentation:

reserve() does not change the size of the vector.

That's maybe me, and I know I like longer names which are not always
good, but a stream_ vector of CameraStreams, where we already have
daa types of Camera3... type adds confusion to a class which already
relies on the names "streams" and "camera" a bit too much...

What about
struct StreamMap {
        int streamIndex;
	libcamera::PixelFormat format;
	libcamera::Size size;
	CompressorJPEG *jpeg;
};

or something similar, and a

        std::vector<StreamMap> streamMaps_;

I know they are not std::map, but they map Android streams to
libcamera streams, and conveying that could be nice to read.

I had this question if you could get rid of index and store a pointer
to the StreamConfiguration. Since I recall I already asked that, as an
exercize I tried getting rid of it and I failed, so no need to ask :)
But I leave here my exercize for reference, expecially for the
part that actually emplaces in the vector the CameraStream.

        unsigned int streamIndex = 0;
	for (unsigned int i = 0; i < stream_list->num_streams; ++i) {
		camera3_stream_t *stream = stream_list->streams[i];
		PixelFormat format = toPixelFormat(stream->format);

		LOG(HAL, Info) << "Stream #" << i
			       << ", direction: " << stream->stream_type
			       << ", width: " << stream->width
			       << ", height: " << stream->height
			       << ", format: " << utils::hex(stream->format)
			       << " (" << format.toString() << ")";

		if (!format.isValid())
			return -EINVAL;

                streams_.emplace_back(-1, format,
                                      { stream->width, stream->height }, nullptr);
                stream->priv = static_cast<void *>(&streams_[i]);

		/* Defer handling of MJPEG streams until all others are known. */
		if (format == formats::MJPEG)
			continue;

		StreamConfiguration streamConfiguration;
		streamConfiguration.size.width = stream->width;
		streamConfiguration.size.height = stream->height;
		streamConfiguration.pixelFormat = format;
		config_->addConfiguration(streamConfiguration);

		streams_[i].index = streamIndex++;
         }

Here I would avoid doing this. Another thing being named as a
combination of the terms 'camera' and 'stream' is confusing. Can you
use streams[i] directly and avoid a confusing indirection ? We are
clearly running out of terms here :)

I would be tempted to ask if we could create a JPEGCameraStream which
derives from CameraStream, store pointers to CameraStream base class
in stream_ and create the correct derived depending on the format to
avoid cameraStream->jpeg = nullptr.

But I suspect this is used as a flag somewhere in the next patches.

Why move this up ?

Ah yes, it is used as flag here. Maybe the idea of subclassing is an
overkill.

Looking at this now, it seems all it serves is actually for JPEG
compression. Maybe convey that in the name. I know I've suggested map,
but that's really a too generic name, and my head got twisted a few
times when trying to keep track of all the 'streams' we have in this
class.
