/**
 * SECTION:gstpromise
 * @title: GstPromise
 * @short_description: a miniobject for future/promise-like functionality
 *
 * The #GstPromise object implements the container for values that may
 * be available later. i.e. a Future or a Promise in
 * <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_and_promises>.
 * As with all Future/Promise-like functionality, there is the concept of the
 * producer of the value and the consumer of the value.
 *
 * A #GstPromise is created with gst_promise_new() by the consumer and passed
 * to the producer to avoid thread safety issues with the change callback.
 * A #GstPromise can be replied to with a value (or an error) by the producer
 * with gst_promise_reply(). The exact value returned is defined by the API
 * contract of the producer and %NULL may be a valid reply.
 * gst_promise_interrupt() is for the consumer to
 * indicate to the producer that the value is not needed anymore and producing
 * that value can stop.  The @GST_PROMISE_RESULT_EXPIRED state set by a call
 * to gst_promise_expire() indicates to the consumer that a value will never
 * be produced and is intended to be called by a third party that implements
 * some notion of message handling such as #GstBus.
 * A callback can also be installed at #GstPromise creation for
 * result changes with gst_promise_new_with_change_func().
 * The change callback can be used to chain #GstPromises's together as in the
 * following example.
 * |[<!-- language="C" -->
 * const GstStructure *reply;
 * GstPromise *p;
 * if (gst_promise_wait (promise) != GST_PROMISE_RESULT_REPLIED)
 *   return; // interrupted or expired value
 * reply = gst_promise_get_reply (promise);
 * if (error in reply)
 *   return; // propagate error
 * p = gst_promise_new_with_change_func (another_promise_change_func, user_data, notify);
 * pass p to promise-using API
 * ]|
 *
 * Each #GstPromise starts out with a #GstPromiseResult of
 * %GST_PROMISE_RESULT_PENDING and only ever transitions once
 * into one of the other #GstPromiseResult's.
 *
 * In order to support multi-threaded code, gst_promise_reply(),
 * gst_promise_interrupt() and gst_promise_expire() may all be from
 * different threads with some restrictions and the final result of the promise
 * is whichever call is made first.  There are two restrictions on ordering:
 *
 * 1. That gst_promise_reply() and gst_promise_interrupt() cannot be called
 * after gst_promise_expire()
 * 2. That gst_promise_reply() and gst_promise_interrupt()
 * cannot be called twice.
 *
 * The change function set with gst_promise_new_with_change_func() is
 * called directly from either the gst_promise_reply(),
 * gst_promise_interrupt() or gst_promise_expire() and can be called
 * from an arbitrary thread.  #GstPromise using APIs can restrict this to
 * a single thread or a subset of threads but that is entirely up to the API
 * that uses #GstPromise.
