Add refcounting to the GstAllocator object.
Remove const from functions because the allocator is refcounted now.
Rename the vmethods for consistency
Expose the constructor for GstAllocator and add a destroy notify for the
user_data. This should make it possible to create allocators that are not
registered and shared globally along with the possibility to destroy them
properly.
Update defs with new symbols.
Make the memory object simply manage the data pointer and the maxsize and move
the offset and size handling to common functionality.
Use the READONLY flag to set a readonly lock.
Remove the data and size fields from the unmap method. We need an explicit
resize operation instead of using the unmap function.
Make internal helper lock and unlock functions.
Update unit test and users of the old API.
Count how many mappings are currently active and also with what access pattern.
Update the design doc with restrictions on the access patterns for nested
mappings.
Check if nested mappings obey the access mode restrictions of the design doc.
Add various unit tests to check the desired behaviour.
Make an unmap call with a different data pointer than the map call update the
offset field. This allows for both offset and size adjustements in the unmap
call.
Remove gst_mini_object_register() and add a GST_DEFINE_MINI_OBJECT macro to
define a _get_type() function for the boxed miniobject.
Remove a bunch of custom _get_type() functions and replace them with the
miniobject macro.
Rename some _init method to _priv_*_initialize() like the rest of them.
Inspired by patch from Johan Dahlin and see bug #657603
Allow for negative offsets when doing memory copy and share.
Add fast path in the _get_sizes() function.
Fix resize for negative offset and expanding the buffer.
Add some unit tests.
Also return the offset in a GstMemory block with the get_sizes() method. This
allows us to figure out how much prefix there is unused.
Change the resize function so that a negative offset can be given. This would
make it possible to resize the buffer so that the prefix becomes available.
Add gst_buffer_get_sizes() to return the offset and maxsize as well as the size.
Also change the buffer resize method so that we can specify a negative offset
to remove prefix bytes.
Require the memory implementations to implement a share operation. This allows
us to remove the fallback share implementation which uses a different allocator
implementation and complicates things too much.
Update design doc a bit.
Make the fallback copy use the same memory allocator as the original object.
Improve some docs.
Require an alloc function when registering an allocator.
Remove gst_memory_allocator_get_default() and merge the feature in
gst_memory_allocator_find()
Fix locks on the hashtable.
Remove defined but not-implemented gst_memory_span() method.
Rename the GstMemoryImpl to GstMemoryAllocator because that's really what it is.
Add an alloc vmethod to the allocator members.
Improve registration of allocators.
Add methods to get and set the default allocator
Always use an allocator to allocate memory, use the default allocator when NULL
is passed.
Add user_data to the allocator Info so that we can pass extra info to the
allocator new method.
Allow for automatic merging of memory block in the _map function and automatic
freeing of the temporary memory.
Remove some unneeded functions.
Add possibility to force writable spanned memory.
