There are many good use cases for GstIndex and we want
to add it back again in some form, but possibly not with
the current API, which is very powerful (maybe too powerful),
but also a bit confusing. At the very least we'd need to
make the API bindings-friendly.
Add a GstControlBinding class. This is a preparation for making the
controlsources generate double valued control curves and do the gparamspec
mapping in the control binding. Now the API in GstObject is again mostly
for convenience.
Conflicts:
libs/gst/base/gstbasetransform.c
libs/gst/controller/gstinterpolationcontrolsource.c
libs/gst/controller/gstlfocontrolsource.c
plugins/elements/gstfilesrc.c
Dit not merge controller or basetransform changes.
Mark all metadata on the allocated buffers with a POOLED flag. When a buffer
returns to the pool, remove all metadata that did not have the POOLED flag. This
makes sure that we never leave unknown metadata to the buffers in the pool.
Add a singleton for ANY and EMPTY caps and make the GST_CAPS_ANY and
GST_CAPS_NONE point to them. This makes the API more consistent now
that the macro does not magically create a ref. It also solves some leaks in
places where the macro was used to register a padtemplate.
Move most of the code to a GstTimedValueControlSource. Split out the trigger
'interpolation mode' to a new control source class. Move tests and examples to
new api. Update docs.
Fixes#610338
An extra application preset dir help to organize presets created for special
purposes. Fixes#660760
API: gst_preset_set_app_dir(), gst_preset_get_app_dir()
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We can't change most of
these in 0.10 because they're part of our API and ABI.
Add a new simple miniobject that is a combination of a GstBuffer, GstCaps,
GstSegment and other arbitrary info organized in a GstStructure. This object can
be used to exchange samples between an element and the application or for
storing album art in tags etc.
Use GstFlowReturn to internally pass events between pads.
When we sticky events cause an error, translate this error into a GstFlowReturn.
Caps events will, for example, generate a NOT_NEGOTIATED return when the event
function returns an error.
This allows us then to refuse sending buffers if one of the sticky events is
refused and generate a correct error return value.
If we are dealing with a blocking probe, only then check if one the
blocking flags of the hook matches.
Add some more debug.
Make the pad unit test less racy.
This check is correct but unfortunately it's impossible to implement
in a threadsafe way because the caps could have changed in the meantime.
Fixes bug #659606.
Add a new event flag for sticky events so that multiple events of that type can
be stored on a pad at the same time. Change the _get_sticky_event() function to
loop over the multiple events of a type.
Change the foreach function to make it possible to removed and modify the sticky
events on a pad.
Use an variable size array now to store the events. This could later be
optimized some more.
When the foreach function told us to remove the buffer from the list, decrease
the length of the array or else we might read past the last item in the array.
Rewrite sticky events, trying to make it a bit more simple.
When sticky events are pushed on a srcpad, store them in the sticky event
array and mark the event with received = FALSE.
When the sticky event is successfully sent to the peer pad, make
received = TRUE.
Keep a PENDING_EVENTS pad flag that is set when one of the events is in
the received = FALSE state for some reason.
when activating a sinkpad, mark all events received = FALSE on the peer
srcpad.
When pushing a buffer, check the PENDING_EVENTS flag and if it is set, push all
events to the peer pad first.
Add _full variants of the pad function setters that take a destroy notify.
Make some macros that make the old method name pass NULL to this new
function.
Add the pad mode to the activate function so that we can reuse the same function
for all activation modes. This makes the core logic smaller and allows for some
elements to make their activation code easier. It would allow us to add more
scheduling modes later without having to add more activate functions.
Turns some boolean arguments in the scheduling query to flags, which are easier
to extend and makes the code easier to read.
Make extra methods for configuring and querying the supported scheduling modes.
This should make it easier to add new modes later.
Add a new pad flag NEED_PARENT that ensures that the parent of a pad is
reffed and not NULL when the event, query and internal links functions
are called.
When a pad is added to an element automatically make sure the NEED_PARENT flag
is enabled.
fix the proxy functions for query_accept_caps and query_caps to use the pad
forward helper functions which correctly forwards on the internally linked pads.
Remove the getcaps function on the pad and use the CAPS query for
the same effect.
Add PROXY_CAPS to the pad flags. This instructs the default caps event and query
handlers to pass on the CAPS related queries and events. This simplifies a lot
of elements that passtrough caps negotiation.
Make two utility functions to proxy caps queries and aggregate the result. Needs
to use the pad forward function instead later.
Make the _query_peer_ utility functions use the gst_pad_peer_query() function to
make sure the probes are emited properly.
Make that implizit with attaching/detaching controlsources. This is a lot easier
and has less invalid state (controlled property without control source).
No one but filesrc used that API. Should probably be replaced by
requiring an "uri" property instead, and then objects can do a
notify on that. Also removed interface structure padding, it's
not needed.
This make the controller even more lightweight (no extra object, no extra lock,
less indirections). For object that don't use the controller the only 'overhead'
is a 3 unused fields in the gst_object structure.
The fixate caps function was not used externally and we have vmethods in the
base classes where it is needed.
Update some docs.
simplify some fixate functions in the base classes. Also pass the untruncated
caps to the vmethod.
when we are flushing, don't store the event on the pad but simply return FALSE.
Don't deactivate the srcpad, we need it to be active in order to push the
caps. Downstream can change the scheduling mode of an active pad.
This fixes caps operations when different elements advertise some
of their caps' properties differently (eg, for audio channels, either
a range from 1 to 2, or a list of 1 and 2).

Make a new GstPadProbeInfo structure and pass this in the probe callback. This
allows us to add more things later and also allow the callback to replace or
modify the passed object.
Make a separate cookie to detect chancges in the list of probes and keeping
track of what hooks have been invoked yet.
Remove the requirement to have probes on srcpads in push mode and sinkpads in
pull mode.
Add some more debug.
Keep track of what callbacks got executed. If no callback is called and we are a
blocking pad, let the item pass. This allows you to block pads on selected
items only.
Explicitly have an UPSTREAM and DOWNSTREAM PadProbeType. This allows you to only
block the pad on upstream or downstream items.
Add convenience macros to only block on downstream/upstream items.
When we do not care about the actual resulting set,
but only whether it is empty of not, we can skip a fair bit
of GValue juggling.
Add a function that does so, since we cannot just pass NULL
to the existing API as it may be part of the API contract.

gstobject.c: In function 'gst_object_has_active_automation':
gstobject.c:1076:3: error: 'return' with no value, in function returning non-void
gstcontroller.c: In function 'gst_controller_is_active':
gstcontroller.c:509:3: error: 'return' with no value, in function returning non-void
Move the controller to gstobject as a simple delegate. The controller and
controlsource are not classes in core. The controlsources stay separate as a lib
for now. This way we can avoid the qdata lookups.
Also remove controller_init(). There is no more need to link to controller for
elements.
Also sanitize the API. We now have functions to add properties like we had
methods to remove that. That avoids then ref count hacks we had in _new.
gobject-introspection won't parse them properly otherwise.
Still need to force the right type though (either GstClockTime or
guint64), but Type: xyz has no effect for me here, so someone with
a newer g-i needs to test this.
Some other defines are also missing, e.g. GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE.
The internal proxy pad target is simply a cache of the internal proxy pad
peer. This patch uses the well implement GstPad peer handling to obtain the
target. This fixes issues with target not being set in both direction when
two ghostpads are linked together (empty bin).

Better now than later in the cycle. These might come in handy:
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeReturn/GstPadProbeReturn/g' `git grep GstProbeReturn | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GST_PROBE_/GST_PAD_PROBE_/g' `git grep GST_PROBE_ | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
sed -i -e 's/GstProbeType/GstPadProbeType/g' `git grep GstProbeType | sed -e 's/:.*//' | sort -u`
No one uses this or should ever need to use it, since
the size is architecture-specific anyway. If normal
integers don't do, one should use 64-bit integers.
It's not really used outside of core at all, and has
serious namespace issues. If anyone feels the need to
revive this one, please use a less generic name space.
API: deprecate gst_filter_run()
API: deprecate GstFilterFunc
It's only used internally anyway and the helper struct
has namespace issues.
API: deprecated gst_plugin_feature_type_name_filter()
API: deprecated GstTypeNameData
Hide the fact that it's just a GstStructure from the API. We
may want to change this in future (e.g. to add refcounting).
Also, it caused problems for bindings (though that's mostly
the way we typedefed it to GstStructure).
We never get a tag name quark from a caller, it's always a
string, from which we'll try to look up our tag info in the
hash table, so change the hash table key from quark to string.
Avoids a bunch of pointless string => quark lookup in the
global quark table. We need to do an extra string => quark
conversion now when we copy a taglist, but in that case we're
in a slow path anyway.
This will make sure we spawn a new plugin scanner helper for each plugin
to be introspected, which helps with making sure we don't load too many
shared objects (libs, plugins) at the same time on systems where there
is a hard limit like on Android.
A better version might re-use the scanner for up to N times, though
it's not clear whether that would actually improve things dramatically.

The second caps ownership is transfered, no need to require it to
be writable from the caller function. Instead, _append and _merge
make it writable on their own.
Discovered because of an assertion on encoding-profile.c in
_get_input_caps using _merge but not passing writable caps.
Returning a newly allocated string makes no sense. It's unexpected for a
getter, and also this behaves differently in 0.10, so it would make future
merges harder.
Except for these two places here in core which were updated for the new
semantic, the return value is getting leaked all over the place.
Handle virtual links between ghost and proxypads when iterating pads instead of
when linking. Besides using less code this provides a more accurate picture.
This was leaking the PtrArray from caps->priv, as set up by the other call to
gst_caps_init. Also, the thread safety issue presented in the comment above was
not taken care of anymore. We now zero the refcount again when publishing the
structure.
Fixes#661629.
