Avoid unnecessary malloc/free to get the file basename on MSVC to avoid
unnecessary overhead when doing GST_DEBUG=foo:5 or so (since it would be
done before the category log level filtering).
The -Bsymbolic change causes us to get a different address when internaly
looking up the function than what application would get when the use the symbol
that they see. This made removing the default loghandler to fail, as it is set
internally and removed externaly.
The logging is not an atomic operation and because of the multi-threading we end
up with out-of-order log lines. Tools that present the log-file should probably
resort the lines. This change just takes the timestamp a bit closer to the
actual logging.
g_printerr() used to do this for us. Also use libc's fprintf() functions,
to make sure the stderr pointer we use is actually compatible with the
libc linked against by GStreamer (which apparently may not always be the
same as what GLib is linked against on windows), and we don't need the
functionality ensured by g_fprintf().
Fixes#625295.
This changes behaviour slightly in that we no longer output things
via g_printerr(), so any non-standard glib printerr handlers are no
longer called when GST_DEBUG is enabled. However, this seems not
really desirable in most cases anyway, and the GLib docs also say
that libraries should not use g_printerr() for logging.
Other stderr output (e.g. warnings, or application messages) will
of course not be captured in the log file this way.
GST_DEBUG_FILE=- will redirect debug output to stdout.
This makes it possible to easily get a *:5 debug log without all
the refcounting noise, and drastically reduces the number of lines
output for a normal log (46m to 28m for a 20min video). The full log
including refcounting information can still be gotten using *:7.
Fixes#620460.
This changes some APIs in compatible ways:
- Some functions now take "const char *" arguments, not "char *"
- Some structs now have "conts char *" members, not "char *"
The changes may cause warnings when compiling with the right warning
flags. You've been warned.
Also adds -Wwrite-strings as a warning flag in configure.ac.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611692
Adds that warning to configure.ac
Includes a tiny change of the GST_BOILERPLATE_FULL() macro:
The get_type() function is no longer declared before being defined.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611692
Add a new macro GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET to get a log category by name. This
allows plugins to use e.g. core categories like PERFORMANCE or CLOCK.
API: GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET
Don't dump hundreds of kB of hexdata into debug logs when converting
taglists containing huge images into a string. Instead, shorten the
buffer data so that the string is still readable and debug logs
stay managable. Can be turned off with GST_DEBUG_OPTIONS=full-tags.
See #584988.
The printf extension mechanism changed in glibc 2.10, and the older
register_printf_function is deprecated. Detect and use the new
mechanism where available.
When its disabled, we poison some symbols to force a build error if they are
used. Dunno how useful this acually is, but we need to disable the poisoning
when we include this ourself. Also don't define some of the dummies, as they
are getting replaced with defines and that creates code that does not compile.
Two new log levels to dump FIXMEs into the log and to log data
in form of a hex dump (#578114).

Running configure with e.g. --disable-dst-debug was compiling out the debug
system (ABI break). Now stubs are added and only if one does e.g.
make CFLAGS="-DGST_REMOVE_DISABLED" the symbols are ommitted.
