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.
Remove the const from the GstCaps in get/set_param. set_param modifies
the refcount of the caps.
Don't increment the refcount of the caps result of get_param like we
do with other objects.
Update some annotiations.
Improve the docs of the get/pull_range functions, define the lifetime of the
buffer in case of errors and short reads.
Make sure the code does what the docs say.
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.
Make it so that one can specify a buffer for get/pull_range where the downstream
element should write into. When passing NULL, upstream should allocate a buffer,
like in 0.10.
We also need to change the probes a little because before the pull probe, there
could already be a buffer passed. This then allows us to use the same PROBE
macro for before and after pulling.
While we're at the probes, make the query probe more powerful by handling the
GST_PAD_PROBE_DROP return value. Returning _DROP from a query probe will now
return TRUE upstream and will not forward the probe to the peer or handler.
Also handle _DROP for get/pull_range properly by not dispatching to the
peer/handler or by generating EOS when the probe returns DROP and no buffer.
Make filesrc handle the non-NULL buffer passed in the get_range function and
skip the allocation in that case, writing directly into the downstream provided
buffer.
Update tests because now we need to make sure to not pass a random value in the
buffer pointer to get/pull_range
Separate the bufferpool and allocator hints in the allocation query, some
of the values don't always make sense together.
Keep the bufferpool and its configuration together.
Keep the allocator and its parameters together.
Allow for multiple bufferpool configurations in the query.
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.
Negotiating padding is needed on second thought so include it in the
ALLOCATION query.
Make the bufferpool take padding into account when allocating.
Make basesrc take padding into account.
Use padding and prefix when allocating in basetransform.
Also register queries with a QueryType that allows us to check if the event is
sent in the right direction. Add a serialized query type because we will need
this for the allocation query.
Remove the QueryTypeDefinition stuff, it is not used anymore and we now use
custom queries and separate API for them.
Update defs.
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.
Make a helper function check_sticky to check and push pending sticky events.
Move the handling of the result of pushing the sticky event inside the
push_event function, we need to mark the event as received when it was pushed
correctly.
Move the sticky events code outside of gst_pad_push_event_unchecked and
make it purely handle sending the event to the peer.
when pushing a sticky event, first store it on the pad. Then check and push any
pending sticky events when we get a serialized or sticky event on a srcpad. This
fixes the issue where sticky events are not pushed when an event is pushed.
There isn't really any need to provide public API for that. It's not
used anywhere in practice, and we aim to provide an API that works
for GstCaps, not some kind of generic set manipulation API based on
GValue. Making this private also makes it easier to optimise this
later. We can always put it back if someone actually needs it.
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
Add support for adding tags to the metadata. with some standard keys, this
should make it possible to describe what the metadata refers to. We should be
able to use this information to decide if a transformation destroys the metadata
or not.
lseek() returns the offset if successful, and this is != 0 and
does not indicate an error. And if it does actually fail, don't
return FALSE (0) as an int, but -1. None of these things are
likely to have made a difference, ever. I don't think the offset
seek can ever actually happen, the current file position and the
current offset should always be increased in lock step, unless
there was an error in which case we'd just error out.
After a writer has written to its reserved write location, it can only make the
location available for reading if all of the writers with lower locations have
finished.
Fix a race where the reader would see the updated the tail pointer before the
write could write the data into the queue. Fix this by having a separate reader
tail pointer that is only incremented after the writer wrote the data.
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.
Don't use the duration in the segment for calculating clipping values.
The duration is expressed in stream time and clipping is done on unrelated
timestamp values.
This used to be interesting for elements that used the segment structure to
implement seeking because then they would use stream-time for the segment
start/stop values and the duration could be used as a fallback when the stop
position was not set. Now that the complete segment event is passed between
elements we cannot do this anymore because some elements might store the
duration and start/stop values with different time bases in the segment.
When we have no chain function or when we are operating the pad in the wrong
mode, emit a critical instead of posting an error message. This is certainly a
programming error and we cannot always post a message (like when the pad has no
parent)
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.
Make an _init method where the parent mini-object and other fields are
initialized.
Check that the passed structure doesn't already have a parent.
Use the _new_custom () constructors
__registry_reuse_plugin_scanner is only defined when
GST_DISABLE_REGISTRY is not defined.
gstregistry.c: In function 'gst_registry_scan_plugin_file':
gstregistry.c:1131:8: error: '__registry_reuse_plugin_scanner' undeclared (first use in this function)
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=667284
Fix annoying gst_type_find_register() function signature. A simple
string with comma-separated extensions works just as well and saves
lines of code, casts, relocations and ultimately kittens.
Place the allocator object in the ALLOCATION query instead of the name. This
allows us to exchange allocators that are not in the global pool of allocators.
Update elements for the new api
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.
Remove trace, we use debug log for that
Make alloc trace simpler, removing some methods.
Activate alloc trace with a GST_TRACE=3 environment variable.
Dump leaked objects atexit.
Provide an offset in the object where the GType can be found so that more
verbose info can be given for objects.
Remove -T option from gst-launch because tracing is now triggered with the
environment variable.
We don't use the sticky event index anymore, ordering of the events are how they
were sent initially.
Add some more padding between the event numbers so that we can insert new events
later.
Since GValueArray is deprecated. It's all only internal anywhere here,
but if we use GstValueArray the option strings get serialized nicely
in the debug logs at least.
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.
int and int64 ranges can now have an optional step (defaulting to 1).
Members of the range are those values within the min and max bounds
which are a multiple of this step.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665294
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.
This has to be handled explicitely by elements to
make sure that they support all the metas passed
in the allocation query.
Metas have to supported explicitely, otherwise the
query will fail. All elements in a chain need to
support a specific meta to allow its usage.
Which we had to add because GLib didn't have it
back in the day. Port everything to plain old
G_TYPE_DATE, which is also a boxed type. Ideally
we'd just use GDateTime for everything, but it
doesn't support not setting some of the fields
unfortuntely (which would be very useful for
tag handling in general, if we could express
2012-01 for example).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666351
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.
