When the plugin-scanner load fails (because the helper can't be
spawned), make sure to load the plugin that failed in-process, so
that all plugins do get loaded.
Everyone running an uninstalled git setup is going to wonder about
this failure next time they update, so let's mention the solution
in the error message.
When updating the registry, we don't need to re-read the registry cache
and waste time replacing all our existing, hopefully identical, plugins
and features that we're about to re-scan anyway.
phase 2 - make the plugin loader receive the list of plugins to load and
send back the results asynchronously, so we don't context switch back
and forth so much.

* gst/gstregistry.c: (gst_registry_scan_path_level):
Reduce the number of stat() calls for every file from three times
to one time. Fixes bug #560360.

GstRegistryPool doesn't exist; don't refer to it in docs.
Don't refer to functions that don't exist in docs, it's
unhelpful.

* gst/gstregistry.c: (gst_registry_scan_path_level):
Don't recurse into .debug directories as some distros install
the debugging symbols next to the plugins in .debug directories
and dlopen() crashes on them sometimes. Fixes bug #508070.
Add FIXME for 0.11 to not recurse into directories at all because
it's very inconsistent to the behaviour of other PATH environment
variables.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstregistry.c: (gst_registry_scan_path_level):
Run g_str_has_suffix() only on the file name, not the
entire file path.

* configure.ac: Merge platform specific defines, introduce a new
define on OS X to remember that forking when updating registry is
unsafe.
* docs/faq/gst-uninstalled: Updated to include gst-libs in the bad
module.
* gst/gst.c: Don't fork when updating registry if GST_HAVE_UNSAFE_FORK
is defined.
* gst/gstregistry.c: (gst_registry_scan_path_level): Fixed a bogus
condition that leads to absolutely no plugins being registered on
OS X.
Original commit message from CVS:
* configure.ac:
* gst/gstregistry.c:
MacOS has plugins under .so or under .dylib. Add detection for MacOS
and handle this case.
* gst/gst.c:
Add a comment here describing, why we stat each plugin and not try to
be smart.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c:
Fix type in log message and add one to ease seeing how long registry
cache verification takes.
* gst/gstregistry.c:
Only test plugin filenames against G_MODULE_SUFFIX.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstregistry.c: (gst_registry_add_feature):
When replacing an existing feature in the registry, make sure to
continue holding a reference until we've replaced the name string
within our feature hash table. Make sure to use g_hash_table_replace
instead of g_hash_table_insert to ensure the new name string is used
as a key instead of the old one that we're about to free.

Don't print a g_warning for any failure to load a shared object.
Instead, push this down into gstplugin.c, and warn _only_ if we
failed to open the module (i.e. failure to link).
Avoids warnings on normal, working, non-plugin .so files.

that logs.

exit (registry finalize).
(gst_registry_add_plugin, gst_registry_add_feature): No need for a

chance to connect to.

Original commit message from CVS:

Ignore EINTR when reading from the child registry pipe.
Explicitly ignore the return value from close, since it makes no

Re-commit the registry changes, along with an extra fix:
When a cached plugin is encountered at a different file path,
update the stored path in the registry cache so that the parent
process knows where it actually is now when it re-reads the registry
cache. Fixes the thing that broke distcheck with the previous commit.
* tests/check/Makefile.am:
Clean up files named 'core' too when running make clean.
* tests/examples/manual/Makefile.am:
Set up a registry path for running these tests, and clean it properly
for distcheck.

Make init_pre and init_post take the full complement of GOptionFunc
args so they can return useful GErrors. Make the registry updating
functions do so.
Call _priv_gst_registry_remove_cache_plugins after scanning files to
ensure that the registry we're about to write out doesn't contain
stale information about old-deleted plugin files.
Make _priv_gst_registry_remove_cache_plugins return a boolean so
that deletion of plugin files is considered a registry change.

Rename _gst_registry_remove_cache_plugins and _gst_registry_cleanup
by adding _priv prefix, so that they won't appear in the global
symbol table. They still do atm though because of #318031. Move the
prototypes to gst_private.h
When removing a plugin, remove all features for that plugin too.

(main): Unref the factory if we have one.
(print_element_list): No change -- relies on the
plugin_feature_list_free to free the list of features.
