For providers that don't support dynamic probing, just fall back to doing
a static one on start() to make the UI developers life easier.
This also means that the monitor doesn't need to call _can_monitor() before
calling start.

There is a race-condition that can trigger the assertion in
gst_bus_add_signal_watch_full():
If gst_bus_add_signal_watch_full() is called immediately after
gst_bus_remove_signal_watch() then bus->priv->signal_watch may still be set
because gst_bus_source_dispose() or gst_bus_source_finalize() was not yet
called.
This happens if the corresponding GMainContext has the source queued for
dispatch. In this case, the following dispatch will only unref and delete
the signal_watch because it was already destroyed. Any pending messages
will remain until a new watch is installed.
So bus->priv->signal_watch can be cleared immediately when the watch is
removed. This avoid the race condition.

These can be passed to gst_type_mark_as_plugin_api, to inform
plugin cache generation.
For now a single flag is specified, "IGNORE_ENUM_MEMBERS", it
can be used for dynamically generated enums to avoid documenting
environment-specific enumeration members. An example is
GstX265EncTune.
Since those are using the clock for sync, they need to also
provide a clock for good measure. The reason is that even if
downstream elements provide a clock, we don't want to have
that clock selected because it might not be running yet.

To allow the refcounting tracer to work better. In childproxy/iterator
these might be plain GObjects but gst_object_unref() also works on them.
In other places where it is never GstObject, g_object_unref() is kept.
This new API allow resuming a task if it was paused, while leaving it to
stopped stated if it was stopped or not started yet. This new API can be
useful for callback driver workflow, where you basically want to pause and
resume the task when buffers are notified while avoiding the race with a
gst_task_stop() coming from another thread.
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.
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.
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.
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.

If you're using a custom log handler, you had to reverse-engineer the
debug log format and create your own format function. Now, you can
call `gst_debug_log_get_line()` and it will return a string (without
ANSI escape color codes) representation instead.
This is useful in situations when you need to log the ordinary
gst_debug log to a resource that can't be opened as a `FILE` handle.
Also includes a test.
We now have GstTestClock-based tests that validate the same logic,
without inducing spurious timing failures / overly relying on sleeps.

A common use case of a dynamically built pipeline is that you want to
(conditionally) find a certain element, e.g. the `rtpbin`s in a
`uridecodebin`. If that element has a fixed name inside its parent bin
(and only has a single instance) this can be easily done by
`gst_bin_get_by_name()`.
If there are multiple instances of the element however, you can only use
`gst_bin_iterate_all_by_interface()`, but this doesn't work if you don't
have the specific `GType` (which is often the case, due to plugins being
dynamically loaded). As such, another fallback could be to use the
well-known name of the element's factory (in case of our example, this
is of course `"rtpbin"`).
And change it to do nothing at all.
As debug categories don't use reference counting and they can be
retrieved from anywhere at any time by name, it is fundamentally unsafe
to free them at any point in time except for right before the end of the
process.
No code apart from a unit test seems to be currently using the function,
so deprecate it and also change it to do nothing at all.
The offset in gst_buffer_resize() is additive. So to move back the
offset to zero, we need to pass the opposite of the current offset. This
was raised through the related unit test failingon 32bit as on 64bit
the alignment padding was enough to hide the issue. The test was
modified to also fail on 64bit. This patch will remove spurious
assertions like:
assertion 'bufmax >= bufoffs + offset + size' failed
Fixes#316
Before GST_PAD_PROBE_HANDLED was introduced, we had to handle the case
where some probes would reset the probe info data field to NULL. This would
be considered an invalid use-case.
But with GST_PAD_PROBE_HANDLED it is totally fine to reset that, since
the probe has "handled" it.
When performing a key unit trickmode seek, it may be useful to
specify a minimum interval between the output frames, either
in very high rate cases, or as a protection against streams
that may contain an overly large amount of key frames.
One use case is ONVIF Section 6.5.3:
<https://www.onvif.org/specs/stream/ONVIF-Streaming-Spec.pdf>
For metas where order might be significant if multiple metas are
attached to the same buffer, so store a sequence number with the
meta when adding it to the buffer. This allows users of the meta
to make sure metas are processed in the right order.
We need a 64-bit integer for the sequence number here in the API,
a 32-bit one might overflow too easily with high packet/buffer
rates. We could do it rtp-seqnum style of course, but that's a
bit of a pain.
We could also make it so that gst_buffer_add_meta() just keeps metas in
order or rely on the order we add the metas in, but that seems too
fragile overall, when buffers (incl. metas) get merged or split.
Also add a compare function for easier sorting.
We store the seqnum in the MetaItem struct here and not in the
GstMeta struct since there's no padding in the GstMeta struct.
We could add a private struct to GstMeta before the start of
GstMeta, but that's what MetaItem effectively is implementation-
wise. We can still change this later if we want, since it's all
private.

gstharness.c: Use G_GSIZE_FORMAT instead of hard-coding %zu
error: unknown conversion type character 'z' in format [-Werror=format]
gst-inspect.c: GPid is void* on non-UNIX, and we only use it on UNIX
error: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Werror]
gstmeta.c: Use and then discard value
error: value computed is not used [-Werror=unused-value]
With this, gstreamer builds with -Werror on MinGW
While extremelly rare, time and gst_date_time_new_* will have
diff values and potentially trigger an assertion. Thus move
the calls as closely together as possible to mitigate this.
We have to ensure that all background threads from thread pools are shut
down, or otherwise they might not have had a chance yet to drop their
last reference to the pipeline and then the assertion for a reference
count of 1 on the pipeline fails.
