They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
* add many missing declarations to sections
* GstController has been removed, update docs
* skip GstIndex when generating documentation
* rephrase so gtkdoc doesn't imagine return value
* add missing argument description for gst_context_new()
* document GstOutputSelectorPadNegotiationMode and move to header-file
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719614
These changes are to clean up syntax issues such as missing colons,
missing spaces, etc., and minor issues such as argument names in
headers not matching the implementation and/or documentation.
Rename the _get_value_array() functions to _get_g_value_array() and reintroduce
the former to operate on plain unboxed c datatypes (like in 0.10). The _g_value
variants are for bindings while the _value ones are more suited to processing
in elements.
Remove trace, we use debug log for that
Make alloc trace simpler, removing some methods.
Activate alloc trace with a GST_TRACE=3 environment variable.
Dump leaked objects atexit.
Provide an offset in the object where the GType can be found so that more
verbose info can be given for objects.
Remove -T option from gst-launch because tracing is now triggered with the
environment variable.
Add a GstControlBinding class. This is a preparation for making the
controlsources generate double valued control curves and do the gparamspec
mapping in the control binding. Now the API in GstObject is again mostly
for convenience.
Move most of the code to a GstTimedValueControlSource. Split out the trigger
'interpolation mode' to a new control source class. Move tests and examples to
new api. Update docs.
Fixes#610338
Remove the getcaps function on the pad and use the CAPS query for
the same effect.
Add PROXY_CAPS to the pad flags. This instructs the default caps event and query
handlers to pass on the CAPS related queries and events. This simplifies a lot
of elements that passtrough caps negotiation.
Make two utility functions to proxy caps queries and aggregate the result. Needs
to use the pad forward function instead later.
Make the _query_peer_ utility functions use the gst_pad_peer_query() function to
make sure the probes are emited properly.
Make that implizit with attaching/detaching controlsources. This is a lot easier
and has less invalid state (controlled property without control source).
This make the controller even more lightweight (no extra object, no extra lock,
less indirections). For object that don't use the controller the only 'overhead'
is a 3 unused fields in the gst_object structure.
gstobject.c: In function 'gst_object_has_active_automation':
gstobject.c:1076:3: error: 'return' with no value, in function returning non-void
gstcontroller.c: In function 'gst_controller_is_active':
gstcontroller.c:509:3: error: 'return' with no value, in function returning non-void
Move the controller to gstobject as a simple delegate. The controller and
controlsource are not classes in core. The controlsources stay separate as a lib
for now. This way we can avoid the qdata lookups.
Also remove controller_init(). There is no more need to link to controller for
elements.
Also sanitize the API. We now have functions to add properties like we had
methods to remove that. That avoids then ref count hacks we had in _new.
