MSVC warns about this because it's a C++ compiler, and this actually
results in useful things such as the incorrect 'gboolean' return value
for functions that return GstFlowReturn, so let's do explicit

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
When skipping data, check if they are filler bytes. If so, drop the
data instead of skipping. We don't want to output filler bytes, but they
shouldn't cause a discontinuity.

If the input alignment claims AU alignment, each received
buffer should contain a complete video frame, so never hold over parts
of buffers for later processing. Also reduces latency, as packets
are parsed/converted and output immediately instead of 1 buffer
later.
Fixes a problem where an (arguably disallowed) padding byte on the
end of a buffer is detected as an extra byte in the following
start code, and messes up the timestamping that should apply to
that start code.
And always set the sampling field on the src caps, if necessary guessing a
correct value for it from the colorspace field.
Also, did some cleanup: removed sampling enum - redundant.

Enabling passthorugh mode is causing multiple issue:
For nal aligned multiresoluton streams, passthrough mode
make h264parse unable to advertise the new resoultions.
Also causing issues while parsing MVC streams which have two

This fix is only a temporary workaround.
For MVC, proper fixes needed in many places:
(handle prefix nal unit, handle non-base-view slice nal extension,
fix the picture_start detection for multi-layer-mvc streams etc)

The SPS struct might be filled out by a call to

In the H263 spec, CPFMT is present only if the use of a custom

it's not present and wrong data will be parsed.
When reading the CPFMT, the width and height were not

This commit add an helper to convert a frame to frame-layer format and
use it to implement these two stream-format conversion:
- asf --> sequence-layer-frame-layer
- asf --> frame-layer
In simple/main profile, we basically have a raw frame, so building a
frame layer isn't too complicated. But in advanced profile, the first
frame-layer should contain sequence-header, entrypoint, and frame and
each keyframe should contain entrypoint, so we have to handle these
carefully.

Add an helper to check that output stream-format is coherent with
profile and header-format. It also check if we know how to do the
conversion if the input stream-format differs from selected

So, in case output stream-format is not allowed, it will now fail at
negotiation rather than in pre_push_frame.

Do more elaborate validation of the input caps: what fields
are required and/or not allowed. Don't assume AVC3 format
input without codec_data field is byte-stream format. Fix
up some now-unreachable code (CID 1232800).
It should try to use bytestream in these cases that the format
is set to _FORMAT_NONE as it seems that is what the 'else' clause
for bytestream can handle (by defaulting to _FORMAT_BYTESTREAM).
Always use a GstAdapter when collecting access units (alignment="au")
in either byte-stream or avcC format. This is required to properly
preserve config headers like SPS and PPS when invalid or broken NAL
units are subsequently parsed.
More precisely, this fixes scenario like:
<SPS> <PPS> <invalid-NAL> <slice>
where we used to reset the output frame buffer when an invalid or
broken NAL is parsed, i.e. SPS and PPS NAL units were lost, thus
preventing the next slice unit to be decoded, should this also
represent any valid data.

Carefully track cases when skipping broken or invalid NAL units is
necessary. In particular, always allow NAL units to be processed

the current NAL needs to be dropped or not.
This fixes parsing of streams with SEI NAL buffering_period() message
inserted between SPS and PPS, or SPS-Ext NAL following a traditional

When outputting in AVC3 stream format, the codec_data should not
contain any SPS or PPS, because they are embedded inside the stream.
In case of avc->bytestream h264parse will push the SPS and PPS from
codec_data downstream at the start of the stream, at intervals
controlled by "config-interval" and when there is a codec_data change.
In the case of avc3->bytstream h264parse detects that there is
already SPS/PPS in the stream and sets h264parse->push_codec to FALSE.
Therefore avc3->bytstream was already supported, except for the stream
type.
In the case of bystream->avc h264parse will generate codec_data caps
from the parsed SPS/PPS in the stream. However it does not remove these
SPS/PPS from the stream. bytestream->avc3 is the same as bytestream->avc
except that the codec_data must not have any SPS/PPS in it.
