gst/base/gsttypefindhelper.c (gst_type_find_helper): Unref any remaining buffer. Original commit message from CVS: 2005-06-27 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com> * gst/base/gsttypefindhelper.c (gst_type_find_helper): Unref any remaining buffer. * gst/gsttrace.c (gst_alloc_trace_list_sorted): New helper, returns a sorted copy of the trace list. (gst_alloc_trace_print_live): New API, only prints traces with live objects. Sort the list. (gst_alloc_trace_print_all): Sort the list. (gst_alloc_trace_print): Align columns. * gst/elements/gstttypefindelement.c: * gst/elements/gsttee.c: * gst/base/gstbasesrc.c: * gst/base/gstbasesink.c: * gst/base/gstbasetransform.c: * gst/gstqueue.c: Adapt for pad activation changes. * gst/gstpipeline.c (gst_pipeline_init): Unref after parenting sched. (gst_pipeline_dispose): Drop ref on sched. * gst/gstpad.c (gst_pad_init): Set the default activate func. (gst_pad_activate_default): Push mode by default. (pre_activate_switch, post_activate_switch): New stubs, things to do before and after switching activation modes on pads. (gst_pad_set_active): Take a boolean and not a mode, dispatch to the pad's activate function to choose which mode to activate. Shortcut on deactivation and call the right function directly. (gst_pad_activate_pull): New API, (de)activates a pad in pull mode. (gst_pad_activate_push): New API, same for push mode. (gst_pad_set_activate_function) (gst_pad_set_activatepull_function) (gst_pad_set_activatepush_function): Setters for new API. * gst/gstminiobject.c (gst_mini_object_new, gst_mini_object_free): Trace all miniobjects. (gst_mini_object_make_writable): Unref the arg if we copy, like gst_caps_make_writable. * gst/gstmessage.c (_gst_message_initialize): No trace init. * gst/gstghostpad.c (gst_proxy_pad_do_activate) (gst_proxy_pad_do_activatepull, gst_proxy_pad_do_activatepush): Adapt for new pad API. * gst/gstevent.c (_gst_event_initialize): Don't initialize trace. * gst/gstelement.h: * gst/gstelement.c (gst_element_iterate_src_pads) (gst_element_iterate_sink_pads): New API functions. * gst/gstelement.c (iterator_fold_with_resync): New utility, should fold into gstiterator.c in some form. (gst_element_pads_activate): Simplified via use of fold and delegation of decisions to gstpad->activate. * gst/gstbus.c (gst_bus_source_finalize): Set the bus to NULL, help in debugging. * gst/gstbuffer.c (_gst_buffer_initialize): Ref the buffer type class once in init, like gstmessage. Didn't run into this issue but it seems correct. Don't initialize a trace, gstminiobject does that. * check/pipelines/simple_launch_lines.c (test_stop_from_app): New test, runs fakesrc ! fakesink, stopping on ::handoff via a message to the bus. (assert_live_count): New util function, uses alloc traces to check cleanup. * check/gst/gstghostpad.c (test_ghost_pads): More refcount checks. To be modified when unlink drops the internal pad.
