If you're using a custom log handler, you had to reverse-engineer the
debug log format and create your own format function. Now, you can
call `gst_debug_log_get_line()` and it will return a string (without
ANSI escape color codes) representation instead.
This is useful in situations when you need to log the ordinary
gst_debug log to a resource that can't be opened as a `FILE` handle.
Also includes a test.
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.
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.
* 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
GST_TIME_FORMAT, GST_TIME_ARGS, GST_STIME_FORMAT, GST_STIME_ARGS
GST_PTR_FORMAT, GST_SEGMENT_FORMAT, GST_FOURCC_FORMAT and
GST_FOURCC_ARGS are format specifiers.
They can't be used outside of C and should be generated in the gir.

We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
This stores debug logs in memory per thread and uses up to a
configurable amount of bytes per thread for the logs. Inactive threads
are timed out after a configurable amount of time.

This is an API break but that API has not been released yet.
We are passing a flag rather than a simple boolean as we can imagine
to implement more features in the future for example to retrieve a
stack trace for all the threads, etc..
Retrieving source file and line numbers is pretty
expensive while getting a stack trace, this new argument
allows the user to decide to retrieve a backtrace
without those infos instead which is much faster.
For example running $ GST_LEAKS_TRACER_STACK_TRACE=1 GST_DEBUG=GST_TRACER:7 \
GST_TRACERS=leaks time gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! fakesink:
* With simple stack traces:
0.04s user 0.02s system 99% cpu 0.060 total
* With full stack traces:
0.66s user 0.23s system 96% cpu 0.926 total

gcc 6 has problems detecting and avoiding throwing
a warning for tautological compares in macros (they
should only trigger for compares outside macros).
Avoid them with a nasty cast of one parameter to void *

Other gst libraries and/or elements may want to add some debug logging to an
external debug system or implement delayed debugging for performance reasons.
Exposes the internal __gst_vasprintf as gst_info_vasprintf which has a fallback
to g_vasprintf if the debug system is disabled.
API: gst_info_vasprintf
API: gst_info_strdup_vprintf
API: gst_info_strdup_printf

API: GST_LEVEL_MAX
By compiling gstreamer (or plugins) with GST_LEVEL_MAX defined, only
the debugging statements at or below that level will be compiled in.
This allows compiling in some debugging (like errors and warnings) which
helps in debugging, but without the full cpu/memory overhead of all debugging
enabled.
Does not do anything yet. On a sidenote, we can't just use
%p\001 or so to signal the extension because g-i complains
about an invalid ascii character then, so have to resort to
something more elaborate, such as %p\aA etc.

and remove all the printf extension/specifier stuff for
the system printf. Next we need to add back the custom
specifiers to our own printf implementation.

This was a FIXME for 0.11. I guess a case could be made to keep it around
separately for apps or libraries that only want to use GStreamer's debugging
system, but it seems more likely they'd just copy the two source files into
their own tree if the case. Also, things like types wouldn't be initialised
without gst_init(). We can still make it public again if anyone needs it,
but then we should make it a proper function and not hide it behind
underscores.
The refactoring of gst_debug_add_log_function() now causes build failure when
debug-logging is turned off. Just move it to the conditional part of the header.
Make adding/removing gst_debug_log_default() work reliably in all
circumstances. The problem was that depending on platform and linker
flags the function argument might resolve to different addresses,
which made it impossible to remove the default log function added
in gst_init() from application code (because the pointer values
didn't match). The new approach should keep things simple by passing
NULL for the default function, which the code in libgstreamer can
then handle.
