gst_buffer_take_memory -> gst_buffer_insert_memory because insert is what the
method does.
Make all methods deal with ranges so that we can replace, merge, remove and map
a certain subset of the memory in a buffer. With the new methods we can make
some code nicer and reuse more code. Being able to deal with a subset of the
buffer memory allows us to optimize more cases later (most notably RTP headers
and payload that could be in different memory objects).
Make some more convenient macros that call the more generic range methods.
Add gst_buffer_append() which appends the memory blocks from one buffer to
another. Remove the old inefficient _merge() and _join() methods which forced a
premature memcpy in most cases.
Remove the _is_span() and _span() methods they are not needed anymore now that
we can _append(). Merging and spanning will be delayed until mapping or maybe
not at all when the element can deal with the different memory blocks.
Make it possible to wrap all kinds of memory by exposing all properties to
gst_buffer_new_wrapped_full(). This makes it possible to also create writable
memory without a free function or memory with extra padding.
Group the extra allocation parameters in a GstAllocationParams structure to make
it easier to deal with them and so that we can extend them later if needed.
Make gst_buffer_new_allocate() take the GstAllocationParams for added
functionality.
Add boxed type for GstAllocationParams.
Change gst_allocator_alloc() so that we can also spicify flags and padding.
Add 2 new flags to mark the memory 0 prefixed/padded. This allows us to
remove some resizes in the base classes.
When allocating memory, memset prefix and padding with 0 when the flags tell
us to.
On resize, clear the zero padding flags if we can't guarantee the memory is
still 0 filled.
Update tests.
Rename _do_simplify() to _simplify(). The name was introduced as a replacement
method for a deprecated method but we can now rename it again.
Fix some docs.
Make gst_caps_do_simplify() take ownership of the input caps and produce a
simplified output caps. This removes the requirement of having writable input
caps and the method can make the caps writable only when needed.
Rework some caps operations so they don't rely on writable caps but instead take
ownership of the input caps and do _make_writable() only when needed.
Remove some const from caps functions, it does not make much sense for
refcounted objects and does not allow us to return a refcount to the const input
caps.
Rework the base classes fixate vmethods to not operate on the caps in-place.
All this saves us around 30% of caps and structure copy and new operations.
Sticky events pushed on an unlinked pad should be stored on the pad. When the
pad is then linked and an event is pushed, the event should be merged with the
already existing sticky events and then the sticky events should be pushed in
the order that they were originally pushed.
Because gst_pad_get_pad_template_caps() returns ANY when there is no template,
the query caps function should also return ANY when there is no template (and no
pad current caps) instead of EMPTY.
Split out the registration of the metadata API and its implementation. Make a
GType for each metadata API. This allows us to store extra information with the
API type such as the tags.
Change the buffer API so that we can get the metadata using the API GType.
Change the query API so that we use the metadata API GType in the allocation
query instead of a string.
Update netaddress and unit tests
Account for rounding errors in some places, and that two nows are
not always entirely identical, so allow some leeway when comparing
microseconds and seconds. Ran into this too often, esp. when the
system is under load.
Flesh out the transform method. Add a type and extra info to the transform
function so that implementation can transform the metadata.
Remove the copy function and replace with the more generic transform.
Make it possible to configure a GDestroyNotify and user_data for
gst_memory_new_wrapped() this allows for more flexible wrapping of foreign
memory blocks.
Rename _is_writable() with _is_exclusive because the writability does not depend
on the amount of references to the memory object anymore.
Add accessor macros for the memory flags.
Rename the GstBuffer _peek_memory() method to _get_memory() and return a
reference to the memory now that we can do this without affecting writability
of the memory object. Make it possible to also make this function merge the
buffer memory.
Add methods to replace memory in a buffer. Make some convience macros for the
buffer memory functions.
Fix unit tests.
This is now bindings firendly as _new is just a classic c convenience and all
the work is done in a constructor. As a side effect _new never fails.
Fix the tests.
We introduced our own when GLib didn't want to add a GType
for GError. But now that there is one, we can use GLib's
unconditionally and remove our version.
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.
