- xcb is supposedly thread-safe!
videotestsrc ! glimagesink now doesn't spuriously result in a
'call XInitThreads()' error however if anybody else is using X11,
then XInitThreads() still needs to be called and multiple glimagesink's
still need XInitThreads().
Everything still takes libX11 handles as they are compatible with the xcb
variants. Unfortunately we cannot move fully over to xcb due to GLX being
entirely based on Xlib. It's also impossible to transform a xcb_connection
to a Display which means we require X11 handles.
The spec allows the core/compatibility profiles to be used
with #version 150.
Also tighten up the tests to check for default profiles being chosen
correctly.
The change to use GST_EXPORT for symbols under Windows requires
GST_EXPORTS for internal use, and that is also needed under Autotools.
The same thing is done for gstreamer-1.0.dll in -core.
The calling convention may be deprecated, but we still need it for
OpenGL. The build issue was caused by an incorrect syntax being used for
the WINAPI (__stdcall) prototype in function pointers which was accepted
by GCC but is rejected by MSVC.
With MSVC, this gives the following warning:
warning C4305: 'function': truncation from 'double' to 'gfloat'
Apparently, MSVC does not figure out what type to use for constants
based on the assignment. This warning is very spammy, so let's try to
fix it.
At minimum, we only need to glFlush() if we are in a shared GL context
environment. Move the glFinish() to when the actual wait is requested
which may be never. Improves the throughput on older GL systems without
GL3/GLES3 and/or fence sync objects.
Using g_thread_join() in _finalize() handlers may result in a deadlock
joining the current thread when the last reference is held by a signal
handler.
e.g.:
error 'Resource deadlock avoided' during 'pthread_join (pt->system_thread, NULL)'
The backtrace looks like this:
[...]
g_thread_join ()
gst_gl_window_finalize ()
gst_gl_window_x11_finalize ()
g_object_unref ()
g_value_unset ()
g_signal_emit_valist ()
g_signal_emit ()
gst_gl_window_send_mouse_event ()
gst_gl_window_mouse_event_cb ()
g_main_dispatch ()
[..]
g_main_loop_run ()
gst_gl_window_navigation_thread ()
g_thread_proxy ()
start_thread ()
clone ()
We cannot set the x, y coordinate of the video frame at the dispmanx at
this point. We need to teach dispmanx backend to understand about
set_render_rectangle API to draw a video with other UI.
This patch keeps the current behavior which places video frame at the
center of the display if there is no set_render_rectangle call to the
dispmanx window.

e.g. passing with_gl_api=gles2 would still build the glx code but not be
linking against the libGL library which is where the glX* functions are
located and would result in a linker error.
Solved by checking for the libGL library if either opengl or glx may be
needed and then disabling the corresponding deps as requested.
