It might happen that we popped the message before writing of the control
happened. In this case we just have to retry again a bit later, and failure to
do so will cause an additional byte in the control and the GSource /
gst_poll_wait() to always wake up again immediately.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750397
And also mention what the expected values of errno are going to be.
write_control() will only ever return FALSE if there was a critical error. It
will never return because of EINTR, EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK.
read_control() will return FALSE if there was no byte to read, in which case
errno would be EWOULDBLOCK.
In all other cases there was a critical error.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750397
On timer GstPolls it will cause the control socket state to become
inconsistent as now one less read_control() than write_control() be would
needed.
Similarly, read_control() and write_control() are only valid on timer
GstPolls.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750397
This might fail even under correct usage, e.g. if read_control() is called
from another thread before write_control() finished in another. It has to be
retried then, or other measures have to be taken, depending on how it is used
by the surrounding code.

This addresses slightly different race conditions on Linux and Windows, and
fixes gst_poll_read_control() when control_pending == 0.
On Linux, the socketpair() used for control should not be made O_NONBLOCK.
If there's any propagation delay between set->control_write_fd.fd and
set->control_read_fd.fd, even the mutex now held will not be sufficient to
prevent a race condition. There's no benefit to using O_NONBLOCK, here.
Only liabilities.
For Windows, it's necessary to fix the race condition between testing
set->control_pending and performing WAKE_EVENT()/RELEASE_EVENT(). This is
accomplished by acquiring and holding set->lock, for both of these operations.
We could optimize the Linux version by making this Windows-specific.
For consistency with the Linux implementation, Windows' RELEASE_EVENT()
has also been made to block, although it should never happen.
Also, changed release_wakeup() to return TRUE and decrement control_pending
only when > 0. Furthermore, RELEASE_EVENT() is called only when
control_pending == 1.
Finally, changed control_pending to use normal, non-atomic arithmetic
operations, since it's now protected by set->lock.
Note: even though the underlying signaling mechanisms are blocking,
release_wakeup() is effectively non-blocking, as it will only attempt to read
from control_read_fd.fd after a byte has been written to control_write_fd.fd
or WaitForSingleObject() after it's been signaled.

GCC emits an error for this with -Werror:
plugin.c:22:1: error: 'gst_plugin_desc' initialized and declared 'extern' [-Werror]
This matches how glib does symbol exporting.

If the prototypes in the public API have dllimport in them when building
statically on Windows, the compiler will look for symbols with symbol
mangling and indirection corresponding to a DLL. This will cause a build
failure when trying to link tests/examples/etc.
External users of GStreamer also need to define -DGST_STATIC_COMPILATION
if they want to link to static gstreamer libraries on Windows.
A similar version of this patch has been committed to all gstreamer
repositories.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=767463
We already had a _full() version, but having that alone seems inconsistent.
Add a non-full version that mirrors the behaviour of gst_pad_link() vs
gst_pad_link_full().
For GST_EXPORT define and also things like GST_DISABLE_REGISTRY.
Hopefully fixes the following build failure on cerbero-cross-mingw32:
helpers/gst-plugin-scanner.c:50: undefined reference to `_imp___gst_disable_registry_cache'
This static library gets included directly into libgstreamer-1.0.so, so it needs
the same GST_EXPORTS definition as the rest of the code that's compiled into
that otherwise it will try to find the constants it uses from gstinfo via DLL
importing (__declspec(dllimport)).
Fixes https://ci.gstreamer.net/job/cerbero-cross-mingw32/4393/
__declspec(dllexport/import) are supported by GCC and are needed for
properly generating code that fetches the values of constants from DLLs
built with __declspec(dllexport) which happens when anything using
GST_EXPORT is built with MSVC.
See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/619w14ds.aspx
Essentially, if you built gstreamer with MSVC and then tried to use
constants from it (such as GST_TYPE_CAPS) in a plugin, GCC would
retrieve the address of the value instead of the value itself.
This means applications and bin sub-classes can easily track when
a new child element is added to the pipeline sub-hierarchy or
removed.
Currently doesn't signal deep added/removed for elements inside
a bin if a bin is added/removed.

Make it explicit that the pad is only blocked while the callback is running,
and the pad will be unblocked again once the callback returned.
If BLOCK and IDLE behaviour is needed, both need to be used.

When doing a transition from PLAYING to PLAYING, we will fail
to forward an EOS message on the bus, and noone else will ever
send it because there'll be no actual state changed message.
Allow EOS through directly in that case.
If there is only one pad in the internal pads, when folding for
LATENCY queries it will just drop the response if it's not live.
This is maybe not the proper fix, but it will just accept the first
peer responses, and if there are any other pads, it will only take
them into account if the response is live.
This *should* properly handle the aggregation/folding behaviour of
multiple live peer responses, while at the same time handling the
simple one-pad-only-and-forward use-case

A lot of debug categories are declared in element class_init
functions, which don't get run until the element is first created
(not just registered in the plugin load function). This means
that --gst-debug-help doesn't print out a lot of categories.
Creating an instance of each element from the element factory
makes them visible, at some extra cost - 2-3 times longer, which can
be a full second or two of extra waiting. Yikes!

When activating a pad in PULL mode, it might already be in PUSH mode. We now
first try to deactivate it from PUSH mode and then try to activate it in PULL
mode. If the activation fails, we would set the pad to flushing and set it
back to its old mode. However the old mode is wrong, the pad is not in PUSH
mode anymore but in NONE mode.
This fixes e.g. typefind in decodebin reactivating PUSH/PULL mode if upstream
actually fails to go into PULL mode after first PUSHING data to typefind.
This calls a function from another thread, asynchronously. This is to be
used for cases when a state change has to be performed from a streaming
thread, directly via gst_element_set_state() or indirectly e.g. via SEEK
events.
Calling those functions directly from the streaming thread will cause
deadlocks in many situations, as they might involve waiting for the
streaming thread to shut down from this very streaming thread.
This is mostly a convenience function around a GThreadPool and is for example
used by GstBin to continue asynchronous state changes.

Passing years > 9999, months > 12 or days > 31 to gst_date_time_new() will
cause an assertion and generally does not make much sense. Instead consider it
as a parsing error like hours > 24 and return NULL.
This previously caused uninitialized memory unless something else was
initializing all the fields explicitly to something.
To be on the safe side, we also allocate metas without init function to all
zeroes now as it was relatively common.
