... instead of the `Pad{Src,Sink}Ref` wrappers:
- In practice, only the `gst::Pad` is useful in these functions.
Some of these which need a `Pad{Src,Sink}Ref`, but it's the one
for the opposite stream direction. In those cases, it is accessed
via the element's implementation.
- It saves a few `clone`s.
- The implementations usually use the `gst::Pad` for logging.
They no longer need to access it via `pad.gst_pad()`.
- They are either unit types or `Clone` (in which case they are implemented
as pointers).
- Internally, we already use an owned version, so there's no need to get a
reference.
- It facilitates implementation if the handler must be moved into a closure
or a `Future`.
This is a follow-up to commit 7ee4afac.
This commit cleans up the `Pad{Sink,Src}Handler` by
- Keeping arguments which are strictly necessary.
- Passing arguments by value for the trait functions which return
a `Future`. The arguments which were previously passed by reference
were `clone`d internally and then `clone`d again in most
implementations.
There are unfortunate differences in trait function signatures
between those which return a `Future` and the sync functions. This
is due to the requirement for the arguments to be moved to the
resulting `Future`, whereas sync functions can rely on references.
One particular notable difference is the use of the `imp` in sync
functions instead of the `elem` in functions returning a `Future`.
Because the `imp` is not guaranteed to implement `Clone`, we can't
move it to the resulting `Future`, so the `elem` is used.
This commit improves threadshare timers predictability
by better making use of current time slice.
Added a dedicate timer BTreeMap for after timers (those
that are guaranteed to fire no sooner than the expected
instant) so as to avoid previous workaround which added
half the max throttling duration. These timers can now
be checked against the reactor processing instant.
Oneshot timers only need to be polled as `Future`s when
intervals are `Stream`s. This also reduces the size for
oneshot timers and make user call `next` on intervals.
Intervals can also implement `FusedStream`, which can help
when used in features such as `select!`.
Also drop the `time` module, which was kepts for
compatibility when the `executor` was migrated from tokio
based to smol-like.
Add a `tuning` feature which adds counters that help with performance
evaluation. The only counter added so far accumulates the duration a
Scheduler has been parked, which is pretty accurate an indication of
CPU usage of the Scheduler.
- Reworked buffer push.
- Reworked stats.
- Make first elements logs stand out. This make it possible to
follow what's going on with pipelines containing 1000s of
elements.
- Actually handle EOS.
- Use more significant defaults.
- Allow building without `clap` feature.
Using callgrind with the standalone test showed opportunities for
improvements for sub tasks addition and drain.
All sub task additions were performed after making sure we were
operating on a Context Task. The Context and Task were checked
again when adding the sub task.
Draining sub tasks was perfomed in a loop on every call places,
checking whether there were remaining sub tasks first. This
commit implements the loop and checks directly in
`executor::Task::drain_subtasks`, saving one `Mutex` lock and
one `thread_local` access per iteration when there are sub
tasks to drain.
The `PadSink` functions wrapper were performing redundant checks
on the `Context` presence and were adding the delayed Future only
when there were already sub tasks.
Implement a test that initializes pipelines with minimalistic
theadshare src and sink. This can help with the evaluation of
changes to the threadshare runtime or with element
implementation details. It makes it easy to run flamegraph or
callgrind and to focus on the threadshare runtime overhead.
