As a side-effect, this also now includes the element factory name in the
error messages instead of giving the same error string for every
factory.
Partially fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-rs/-/issues/318
Also let them all go through the same, single object construction code.
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 :)
Since https://github.com/gtk-rs/gtk-rs/pull/447, supposedly the native
function is never returning a `NULL` `Application` hence it makes little
sense to handle an "unreachable" error here.
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.
FormatValue is now renamed to GenericFormattedValue and the API slightly
changed. In addition there is now a FormattedValue trait, and a
SpecificFormattedValue trait plus types for Bytes, Buffers and the
existing ClockTime.
This allows to create functions like
Pad::query_duration<F: SpecificFormattedValue>() -> Option<F>
and doesn't require the caller to unwrap the generic value anymore,
which is completely unneeded in these cases.
In addition, Segment became FormattedSegment<T> with API to
upcast/downcast between the specific formatted values and the generic
formatted value. This greatly simplifies usage of Segments.
And also implement a FormatValue type that holds a value together with
its format to make usage of the positions/durations/seek positions/etc
more convenient and safe.
