Use of general constraint flags associated with coding tools

A video decoding device comprising a processor configured to:

• obtain, for at least one output layer set associated with a profile tier level, a first general constraint indication associated with a rice coding tool, and a second general constraint indication associated with an extended precision processing coding tool, and wherein the rice coding tool is associated with variable length coding;
• determine, based on the first general constraint indication, whether the rice coding tool is enabled or disabled for the profile tier level;
• set a value associated with rice coding tool enablement for a plurality of pictures in the at least one output layer set associated with the profile tier level;
• determine, based on the second general constraint indication, whether the extended processing coding tool is enabled or disabled for the profile tier level;
• and
• set a value associated with extended precision coding tool enablement for the plurality of pictures in the at least one output layer set associated with the profile tier level.
