When importing the prelude of a crate like `gst` the `glib` prelude is
provided too. Shedding these imports saves quite a few lines and
adheres to keeping it simple; we're not reexporting base/parent preludes
for no reason :)
The 'failure' crate has been stale for quite some time and better
alternatives has been developed since its introduction. We choose the
'anyhow' and 'derive_more' to replace it.
This code rework the examples to use the new 2018 edition and also
rework the code to avoid using unnecessary 'extern crate' calls.
The 'use extern crate gstreamer as gst', as well as the other gstramer
related crates, were kept, otherwise we'd need to do it on 'Cargo.toml'
but it would make it more difficult to figure out the respective crate
name.
... in function signatures.
These breaking changes aim at improving usability by allowing users
to take advantage of Rust error management features sur as `ok_or`,
`map_err`, `expect` and the `?` operator. See the `examples` and
`tutorials` to get an idea of the impacts.
- enable is_equal function again (unsure why it was disabled)
- remove restriction-caps property, encoding-profile objects are
immutable
- remove cast need by using IsA<EncodingProfile> in parameters and
returning the correct type of encodingprofile subclass from the build()
functions. It used a internal hack for storing those IsA objects in
order to keep the API clean and ready to be used, this should be sorted
out as soon as we figure out how to store them in the buidlers.
- encodebin example: remove Result error propagation when it is caused
by programming mistakes. A panic will happen in those cases.
- run rustfmt
