This feature is primarily intended for use in plugin modules' unit tests.
Consider the following situation: gst-plugins-good is built against an
installed GStreamer core. An older version of gst-plugins-good is also
installed in that prefix, along with random other plugin modules. Now,
when doing 'make check' in the just-built gst-plugins-good tree, we
want to only load plugins from GStreamer core, gst-plugins-base, and
gst-plugins-good, but not random other modules (we don't want any unit
tests to fail just because some module in gst-plugins-bad has a broken
plugin_init, for example). Also, we want to only load gst-plugins-good
modules from the locally-built source tree, but not any of the older
gst-plugins-good modules installed. This is usually assured by loading
the ones in the source tree first (by adding that path first to the
right environment variables), but it gets tricky when plugins are
moved, removed, merged, or renamed, or the plugin filename changes.
Note that 'make check' should really work right without doing
'make install' or uninstalling the old gst-plugins-good package (or
any other gst-plugins-foo package) first.
Enter GST_PLUGIN_LOADING_WHITELIST. This environment variable may
contain source-package@path-prefix pairs separated by the platform
search path separator (G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S). The source package
and path prefix are separated by the '@' character. The path prefix is
entirely optional, as is the '@' separator if no path is given.
It is also possible to filter based on plugin names instead of the name
of the source-package by specifying one or more plugin names separated
by commas before the optional path prefix.
In short, the following match patterns are possible:
plugin1,plugin2@pathprefix or
plugin1,plugin2@* or just
plugin1,plugin2 or
source-package@pathprefix or
source-package@* or just
source-package
So for our gst-plugins-good unit test example above, we would set the
environment variable on *nix to something like this (will likely be a
relative path in practice):
gstreamer:gst-plugins-base:gst-plugins-good@/path/to/src/gst-plugins-good
Fixes#619815 and #619717.
For the reason outlined at the beginning of gst_private.h (inline
functions in glib may need the g_log_domain variable). Also include
gst_private.h before using any G_OS_* defines, esp. in plugin loader.
Avoid checking the GType of the value twice (once on our side and
once in g_value_get_*()) by by-passing g_value_get() and accessing
the GValue structure directly.
Use string_warp/unwrap to escape delimiters, otherwise deserialisation fails.
Also move GST_ASCII_IS_STRING to private header to avoid keeping it in sync.
Also use '\0' when terminating a string for better readability.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst_private.h:
Include gstinfo.h even if GST_DISABLE_GST_DEBUG is defined. Fixes
build with --disable-gst-debug.
Original commit message from CVS:
* configure.ac:
Remove AC_ISC_POSIX macro; it's broken on some platforms and not needed.
Add check (taken from -base) for winsock, adds WIN32_LIBS
* gst/Makefile.am:
Add WIN32_LIBS to LIBADD for libgstreamer. Needed now that gstpoll uses
winsock.
Define GST_EXPORTS when building libgstreamer (only used on win32)
* gst/gst_private.h:
* gst/gstinfo.h:
Use GST_EXPORT instead of locally-defined (and incorrect IMPORT_SYMBOL)
for symbols that we need to export in both these files.
* gst/gstpoll.c:
Include gst_private.h higher up to avoid some compile problems on win32.

Move registry backend API to private headers where we can. Add
fixme-0.11 comments for the others. Add stubs for the xml backend when
using the binary to ensure they functions exists (they should not be
used though). Fixes#520756.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst_private.h: (GST_CAT_TYPES):
Add GST_CAT_TYPES, for consistency, and so that the other
debug categories don't make fun of it. Spotted by Saur on IRC.

* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_to_string):
* gst/gststructure.c: (GST_ASCII_IS_STRING),
(priv_gst_structure_append_to_gstring), (gst_structure_to_string):
Yet another gratuitous GString micro-optimisation: add a (private)
function that serialises a structure appending to an existing
GString, so that when we serialise caps we don't need to alloc+free
a throwaway GString for each structure (each of which also entailing
multiple reallocs on the way); also use g_string_sized_new() in
various places with an approximate string length to avoid reallocs
within GString. See #500143.

our private section in 0.11.

On win32, all the __declspec stuff for symbol exporting is
apparently only needed with MSVC, but doesn't work with MingW.

Re-commit the registry changes, along with an extra fix:
When a cached plugin is encountered at a different file path,
update the stored path in the registry cache so that the parent
process knows where it actually is now when it re-reads the registry
cache. Fixes the thing that broke distcheck with the previous commit.
* tests/check/Makefile.am:
Clean up files named 'core' too when running make clean.
* tests/examples/manual/Makefile.am:
Set up a registry path for running these tests, and clean it properly
for distcheck.

Make init_pre and init_post take the full complement of GOptionFunc
args so they can return useful GErrors. Make the registry updating
functions do so.
Call _priv_gst_registry_remove_cache_plugins after scanning files to
ensure that the registry we're about to write out doesn't contain
stale information about old-deleted plugin files.
Make _priv_gst_registry_remove_cache_plugins return a boolean so
that deletion of plugin files is considered a registry change.

Rename _gst_registry_remove_cache_plugins and _gst_registry_cleanup
by adding _priv prefix, so that they won't appear in the global
symbol table. They still do atm though because of #318031. Move the
prototypes to gst_private.h
When removing a plugin, remove all features for that plugin too.

Registry rewrite. Changes registry from being a file created
by a tool into a simple cache file created automatically by
libgstreamer. Removed gst-register (because it's no longer
needed). Remove registry pools, because we only have one
registry implementation (XML). Fix up other subsystems as
necessary.

Removed plugable schedulers.
Removed Scheduler/Manager from elements.
Removed gsttypes.h, rearranged includes.
Removed dependency pad<->element, element<>pipeline, and

add support for detecting if GStreamer runs inside valgrind.
requires valgrind (d'oh) and --enable-debug for correct cdetection.
print a big message in valgrind that GStreamer has detected it's
running inside and might now use different code.
* gst/gstmemchunk.c: (populate), (free_area),
(gst_mem_chunk_destroy), (gst_mem_chunk_alloc),

inside valgrind.
