For some reason Codacy keeps flagging binary stream reads as violating the rule "Check buffer boundaries if used in a loop, especially recursive loops." in this file:

Codacy output for AVI Parser.cpp

Why?

Only one is being read in a loop, but the reads are properly guarded to do nothing if they fail and early out. In addition, the read length is only the size of the datatype.
