Not posting DEVICE_ADDED messages while a device provider is being
started makes things awkward for applications, as they have to call
get_devices() after starting the monitor.
This requires redundant code on the application side, and as far as
I understand also could cause race conditions, when a device gets
added between the calls to gst_device_monitor_start() and
gst_device_monitor_get_devices(), causing the application to "see"
the same device twice.
By passing NULL to `g_signal_new` instead of a marshaller, GLib will
actually internally optimize the signal (if the marshaller is available
in GLib itself) by also setting the valist marshaller. This makes the
signal emission a bit more performant than the regular marshalling,
which still needs to box into `GValue` and call libffi in case of a
generic marshaller.
Note that for custom marshallers, one would use
`g_signal_set_va_marshaller()` with the valist marshaller instead.
gst_pad_iterate_internal_links is usually used to find a single internal
link that a pad has, e.g. to find the corresponding pad of a multiqueue.
Added a helper function that will return either a single internal link,
if there's no other, or NULL.
In cases with many long-lived buffers that have qdata only very
briefly, the memory overhead of keeping an array of 16 GstQData
structs for each buffer can be significant. We free the array when
the last qdata is removed, like it was done in 1.14.
Fixes#436
This patch simply add a null check around a case where a child may have
been unparented concurrently to the deep_add_remove operation. This was
found by accident in the form of an "IS_GST_OBJECT" assertion, but had
no other known side effect in that test.
`g_object_notify()` actually takes a global lock to look up the
`GParamSpec` that corresponds to the given property name. It's not a
huge performance hit, but it's easily avoidable by using the
`_by_pspec()` variant.
On Windows, concurrent colored gstreamr debug output and usual
stdout/stderr string will cause broken output on terminal.
Since it's OS specific behavior, that's hard to completely avoid it
but we can protect it at least among our printing interfaces side.
For buffers with multiple memory chunks, gst_buffer_map() has the side
effect of merging the memory chunks into one contiguous
chunk. Since gst_util_dump_mem() used gst_buffer_map() the internals
of the buffer could actually change as a result of printing it.
For the case of a buffer containing several memory chunks,
gst_memory_map() is now used to obtain the memory address and each
memory chunk is dumped separately preceded by a header line. The
behaviour for a buffer containing a single memory chunk is left unchanged.
This was added in 1.16 and accidentally duplicated the value of
the existing GST_MESSAGE_REDIRECT.
As the only known user of this message is GStreamer core itself,
and it is quite an obscure message, it seems best to just fix up
the enum value even if that technically breaks API.
Fixes#418
gst_ring_buffer_logger_log calls several functions while formatting
the message which may in turn log a message while we already hold
the mutex. Do all formatting first before acquiring the mutex to
avoid this and reduce the time we hold the mutex.
And change it to do nothing at all.
As debug categories don't use reference counting and they can be
retrieved from anywhere at any time by name, it is fundamentally unsafe
to free them at any point in time except for right before the end of the
process.
No code apart from a unit test seems to be currently using the function,
so deprecate it and also change it to do nothing at all.
This will be useful in the next commit where we add action-signals on
the leaks tracer to get information about leaks and to manipulate
checkpoints as a replacement for the SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 signals for
doing the same.
The offset in gst_buffer_resize() is additive. So to move back the
offset to zero, we need to pass the opposite of the current offset. This
was raised through the related unit test failingon 32bit as on 64bit
the alignment padding was enough to hide the issue. The test was
modified to also fail on 64bit. This patch will remove spurious
assertions like:
assertion 'bufmax >= bufoffs + offset + size' failed
Fixes#316
It's not really possible for us to recover when someone uses the
gst_tracer_record_new() API incorrectly. Also, document a piece of
somewhat-obscure code.
Ensure that the code paths for HAVE_UNWIND and HAVE_DBGHELP are never
taken at the same time, even if the build file code changes.
Prefer DbgHelp over libunwind on Windows in case both are somehow
available because DbgHelp is only available when building with the
MSVC toolchain, and libunwind won't give us debug symbols from objects
built with the MSVC toolchain.
Also, print slightly more useful messages for the level of stack trace
support enabled, and document what each if conditional does.
The code implicitly uses this value when the stack trace is not FULL.
Mostly useful for documenting the behaviour when each flag is passed
and for translating to/from strings.
When using GStreamer with Universal Windows Platform apps, dynamic
plugins can only be loaded by filename (without a path) using
gst_plugin_load_file() which will call into g_module_open().
On Windows, GModule calls LoadLibrary() on the filename, but with
UWP we need to use LoadPackagedLibrary() which is basically the same
as LoadLibrary(), except it looks only for DLLs (by name) that have
been packaged as assets with the app.
These assets are not files and cannot be accessed using normal file
APIs such as open() or stat().
The upstream glib merge request for adding LoadPackagedLibrary support
is: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/merge_requests/951
NOTE: Whitespcae removal is to make gst-indent happy
Since we started depending on GLib 2.44, we can be sure this macro is
defined (it will be a no-op on compilers that don't support it). For
plugins we should just start using `G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE` which means
we no longer need the macro there, but for most types in core we don't
want to break ABI, which means it's better to just keep it like it is
(and use the `#ifdef` instead).
Before GST_PAD_PROBE_HANDLED was introduced, we had to handle the case
where some probes would reset the probe info data field to NULL. This would
be considered an invalid use-case.
But with GST_PAD_PROBE_HANDLED it is totally fine to reset that, since
the probe has "handled" it.
* Making sure that `static inline` function are in the GIR (by first
defining them, and make sure to mark as skiped)
* Do not try to link to unexisting symbols
* Also generate GIR information about gst_tracers
Instead of the object value, this should be used every time a random
value will be returned by g_object_get This is also useful to make the
values returned by inspecting element stable accross runs.
