The old code would leave a dangling pointer in oldstr_ptr if two threads
attempted to take the same structure into the same location at the same
time:
1. First "oldstr == newstr" check (before the loop) fails.
2. Compare-and-exchange fails, due to a second thread completing the
same gst_structure_take.
3. Second "oldstr == newstr" check (in the loop) succeeds, loop breaks.
4. "oldstr" check succeeds, old structure gets freed.
5. oldstr_ptr now contains a dangling pointer.
This shouldn't happen in code that handles ownership sanely, so check
that we don't try to do this and complain loudly.
Also simplify the function by using a do-while loop, like
gst_mini_object_take.

When this `_strnlen` internal method was added, strnlen (in glibc)
was not available yet (appeared in 2.10 it was released that same
year).
If available, use the much more optimized strnlen
The type checks at the end of `gst_value_intersect` to call the flagset
intersection are relatively expensive.
If we already know that:
* There was a compare function but it didn't return GST_VALUE_EQUAL
* AND none of the registered intersect functions failed
Then we know they can't intersect and can return early.
Trims ~20% of the instruction calls
For subtracting a list from another, the previous implementation would
do a double subtraction of one from another (which would create temporary
arrays/values which would then be discarded). Instead iterate and do
the comparision directly.
For intersecting a list with another, we can directly iterate both at
once and therefore avoid doing a *full* check of all values of the list
against all other values of the list.
This tries to inline as much as possible array/list and its contents
in order to avoid double allocation/freeing. This also improves the
locality of data.
The internal value is still API/ABI compatible with the *public*
GArray structure. This allows READ-ONLY backwards compatibility with
any external users that assume that the content of a list/array value
is backed by a GArray.
In case the buffer is not writable, the parent (the BufferList) is not
removed before calling func. So if it is changed, the parent (the BufferList)
of the previous buffer should be removed after calling func.
For all the structure creation using valist/varargs we calculate
the number of fields we will need to store. This ensures all callers
will end up with a single allocation.
Instead of having 3 allocations:
* One for GstStructure
* One for GArray
* One for the array *within* GArray
We try to limit this to a single allocation, inlining everything. This
reduces the number of micro-allocations and improves locality of data
access.
Before that commit `{test, }` wouldn't be accepted as an array
because of the trailing coma, the commit fixes that.
At the same time, the code has been refactored to avoid special casing
the first element of the list, making `{,}` or `<,>` valid lists.
We kept the start time around and subtracted it everywhere for "easy of
debugging", but we don't do anything like this anywhere else and it
only complicates the code unnecessarily.
fixate() will return empty caps if it gets empty caps passed and assert
early if any caps are provided as there's no meaningful way of fixating
any caps.
truncate() and simplify() will return the input caps in case of
any/empty caps as before, but slightly optimized and as documented
behaviour.
Also add tests for this and a few other operations behaviour on
empty/any caps.
gst-inspect-1.0 segfaults on tracing logs where it fails to find
element stats. So on the pipelines where we get the following WARNING
during execution will afterwards crash with a segfault as the
g_ptr_array has a index for it but it is just a NULL pointer.
WARN default gst-stats.c:444:do_message_stats: no element stats found for ix=X
An example of an pipeline which can reproducibly create a trace log
where this occurs would be this
GST_DEBUG="GST_TRACER:7" GST_TRACERS="stats;rusage;latency" gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=120 ! autovideosink &> trace.log
gst-stats-1.0 trace.log
The clocksync element is a generic element that can be
placed in a pipeline to synchronise passing buffers to the
clock at that point. This is similar to 'identity sync=true',
but because it isn't GstBaseTransform-based, it can process
GstBufferLists without breaking them into separate GstBuffers
We do not have a way to know the format modifiers to use with string
functions provided by the system. `G_GUINT64_FORMAT` and other string
modifiers only work for glib string formatting functions. We cannot
use them for string functions provided by the stdlib. See:
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/stable/glib-Basic-Types.html#glib-Basic-Types.description

Seems unnecessary to print the parent name for every
element in the pipeline graph, it's clear from the
graph what the parent element is and it's hard to
imagine a case where this is useful info rather than
just distracting spam. So far this was only done for
pads, but we should just do it for everything.
When the user sets filters, we should not trace ref counts of object that
are not traced. This optimizes the tracer by potentially avoiding
generating useless backtraces.
Previously we would use the object lock only for storing the sync
handler and its user_data in a local variable, then unlock it and only
then call the sync handler. Between unlocking and calling the sync
handler it might be unset and the user_data be freed, causing it to be
called with a freed pointer.
To prevent this add a refcounting wrapper struct around the sync
handler, hold the object lock while retrieving it and increasing the
reference count and only actually free it once the reference count
reaches zero.
As a side-effect we can now also allow to actually replace the sync
handler. Previously it was only allowed to clear it after initially
setting it according to the docs, but the code still allowed to clear it
and then set a different one.

Keep the ANY caps empty internally when appending and merging
caps/structures. Previously, an ANY caps could end up containing
internal structures, which could be fetched by the user, and gave the
caps a non-zero length.
Also, made sure that `gst_caps_set_features_simple` frees the features
if caps is empty.
Fixed gst_caps_is_strictly_equal() to take into account whether either of
the caps are ANY caps. Previously, two ANY caps could be considered not
strictly equal if one of them still contained some remnant *internal*
structure (this can happen if an ANY caps has emerged from an append or
merge operation). Also, an ANY caps with no remnant internal structures
was considered strictly equal to an EMPTY caps. Similarly, a non-ANY caps
was considered strictly equal to an ANY caps if its remnant internal
structures happened to match.
Also changed gst_caps_is_fixed to take into account that an ANY caps
should not be considered fixed even if it contains a single remnant
internal fixed structure. This affects gst_caps_is_equal(), which uses a
separate method if both caps are fixed. Previously, this meant that a
non-ANY fixed caps was considered equal to an ANY caps if it contained a
single matching remnant internal structure.
Added some tests for these two equality methods, which covers the above
examples, as well as asserts existing behaviour.

This has the same function as the negotiate() functions in various other
base classes and is required to be able to completely re-implement
submit_input_buffer() in subclasses.
When we do not have any information about DTSs we shouldn't try to make
them up, moreover after seeking `segment->start` has nothing to do with
the next buffer timing (and is probably after the actual buffer timestamp)
and since, since fa8312472f
we do:
```
if (buffer->dts > buffer->dts)
buffer->pts = buffer->dts
```
we end up setting `buffer->pts = segment->start` which is plain
broken and leads to downstream decoder accept the first buffer
as it will be inside the segment (its pts==segment->start) which
basically means accurate seeking behaves mostly the same way as
keyframe seeks.
Fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/issues/492
GST_CLOCK_TYPE_TAI is GStreamer abstraction for CLOCK_TAI. Main
motivation for this patch is support for transmission offloading features
- when network packets are timestamped with the time they are deemed to
be actually transmitted. Linux API for that requires that time to be
in CLOCK_TAI coordinate.
With GST_CLOCK_TYPE_TAI, applications can use CLOCK_TAI directly on
their pipelines, avoiding the need to cross timestamp packet times. By
leveraging system's CLOCK_TAI, applications also don't need to keep track
of leap seconds - less burden for them. Just keep system's CLOCK_TAI
accurate and use it.
This would cause us to set GST_GROUP_ID_INVALID as group-id in the
aggregated STREAM_START message if there are no sinks at all or none of
them have a STREAM_START message, which is simply wrong.
If we have not a single STREAM_START message then the bin should not be
considered STREAM_START.
