The same codebase has to support that (since there's Intel Macs and Intel iOS Simulator), and in this case Apple didn't write the decoder (it's Google's libwebp). I was thinking of an example from ffmpeg in that case.

…actually, considering that a hardware decoder has to do all the same memory accesses and is written in a combination of C and Verilog, I'm not at all sure it's more secure.
