Add an index to gst_buffer_take_memory() so that we can also insert memory at a
certain offset. This is mostly interesting to prepend a header memory block to
the buffer.
Add a function to retrieve a list of buffers containing the first N bytes from
the adapter. This can be done without a memcpy and should make it possible to
transfer the list to a GstBufferList later.
Retain the last scanned buffer entry and offset, so we can resume buffer
scanning there in case of a typical progressive scan.
Also potentially optimize _copy subsequently occurring in that area.
This avoids:
* triple-checking for the GType when type-checking is enabled (see #597260)
* Avoids going through an expensive no-argument checking which landed in
glib-2.22
* Avoids going through 2 extrac functions (g_object_new -> g_object_new_valist)
Clarify byte reader docs a bit: offset is relative to the current
position of the reader, not to the start of the data. Also, the
examples in both the adapter docs and the byte reader docs have
the mask and pattern arguments swapped (see #587561). Spotted
by Carl-Anton Ingmarsson.
gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 could return values smaller than offset
if the first byte(s) of the mask are 0 and the pattern matches the
beginning of the adapter.
Added examples to documentation of gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32().
Also added some more masked boundary tests.
Fixes#584118
Add a reasonably optimized new gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32() function
to scan the adapter for a pattern after applying a mask.
Add some unit tests.
API: GstAdapter::gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32()
Fixes#583187
Don't use realloc to grow the scratch area because we don't want the memcpy the
old useless data into the new area before we write our new stuff in it.
When a are requested to take a buffer from the adapter that is exactly the
headbuffer, don't make a subbuffer of it but return that head buffer.
Add a unit-test for this new optimisation.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstbuffer.c: (gst_buffer_finalize):
Avoid costly typechecking for trivially correct pointers.
* gst/gstpoll.c: (gst_poll_wait):
Add some G_LIKELY here and there.
* libs/gst/base/gstadapter.c: (gst_adapter_push):
Add some debug info.
