They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
Currently we set TAG_MEMORY as soon a resize changes the size of one
of the memory. This has the side effect that buffer pool cannot know if
the memory have simply been resized, or if the memorys has been replaced.
This make it hard to actually implement _reset(). Instead, only set the
TAG_MEMORY if one or more memory has been replaced, and do a light
sanity check of the size.

This should allow for more meaningful errors. Dereferencing NULL
is more useful information than dereferencing a random address
happened to be on the stack.
We want to iterate over items idx to idx + length
We use the len variable as the corrected number of memory to iterate
and then properly go over all items.
Fixes the issue where specifying any idx different from 0 had no effect

GObject Introspection does not support macros.
This is needed for bindings. We can still add back
macros or inline functions again later if we think
it's worth it.

Move the locking methods from GstMemory to GstMiniObject.
Add a miniobject flag to enable LOCKABLE objects. LOCKABLE objects can
use the lock/unlock API to control the access to the object.
Add a minobject flag that allows you to lock an object in readonly mode.
Modify the _is_writable() method to check the shared counter for LOCKABLE
objects. This allows us to control writability separately from the refcount for
LOCKABLE objects.
Make a gst_buffer_append_region() function that allows you to append a memory
region from one buffer to another. This is a more general version of
gst_buffer_append().
So mini objects don't have to poke into the GstMiniObject part
of the structure. Saves lines of code, and seems slightly cleaner.
We don't have proper OO hierarchies or methods here after all.
The size field is used by subclasses to store the total allocated size of the
memory for this miniobject. Because miniobject doesn't really do anything with
this field we can move it to the subclasses.
Add a new LOCKED flag to the metadata. Refuse removing LOCKED metadata from
a buffer.
Mark the metadata from the bufferpool LOCKED.
Add unit test for LOCKED flag
gst_buffer_take_memory -> gst_buffer_insert_memory because insert is what the
method does.
Make all methods deal with ranges so that we can replace, merge, remove and map
a certain subset of the memory in a buffer. With the new methods we can make
some code nicer and reuse more code. Being able to deal with a subset of the
buffer memory allows us to optimize more cases later (most notably RTP headers
and payload that could be in different memory objects).
Make some more convenient macros that call the more generic range methods.
Add gst_buffer_append() which appends the memory blocks from one buffer to
another. Remove the old inefficient _merge() and _join() methods which forced a
premature memcpy in most cases.
Remove the _is_span() and _span() methods they are not needed anymore now that
we can _append(). Merging and spanning will be delayed until mapping or maybe
not at all when the element can deal with the different memory blocks.
Make it possible to wrap all kinds of memory by exposing all properties to
gst_buffer_new_wrapped_full(). This makes it possible to also create writable
memory without a free function or memory with extra padding.
Group the extra allocation parameters in a GstAllocationParams structure to make
it easier to deal with them and so that we can extend them later if needed.
Make gst_buffer_new_allocate() take the GstAllocationParams for added
functionality.
Add boxed type for GstAllocationParams.
Change gst_allocator_alloc() so that we can also spicify flags and padding.
Add 2 new flags to mark the memory 0 prefixed/padded. This allows us to
remove some resizes in the base classes.
When allocating memory, memset prefix and padding with 0 when the flags tell
us to.
On resize, clear the zero padding flags if we can't guarantee the memory is
still 0 filled.
Update tests.
Split out the registration of the metadata API and its implementation. Make a
GType for each metadata API. This allows us to store extra information with the
API type such as the tags.
Change the buffer API so that we can get the metadata using the API GType.
Change the query API so that we use the metadata API GType in the allocation
query instead of a string.
Update netaddress and unit tests
Flesh out the transform method. Add a type and extra info to the transform
function so that implementation can transform the metadata.
Remove the copy function and replace with the more generic transform.
Make it possible to configure a GDestroyNotify and user_data for
gst_memory_new_wrapped() this allows for more flexible wrapping of foreign
memory blocks.
Rename _is_writable() with _is_exclusive because the writability does not depend
on the amount of references to the memory object anymore.
Add accessor macros for the memory flags.
Rename the GstBuffer _peek_memory() method to _get_memory() and return a
reference to the memory now that we can do this without affecting writability
of the memory object. Make it possible to also make this function merge the
buffer memory.
Add methods to replace memory in a buffer. Make some convience macros for the
buffer memory functions.
Fix unit tests.
Add refcounting to the GstAllocator object.
Remove const from functions because the allocator is refcounted now.
Rename the vmethods for consistency
Expose the constructor for GstAllocator and add a destroy notify for the
user_data. This should make it possible to create allocators that are not
registered and shared globally along with the possibility to destroy them
properly.
Update defs with new symbols.
Make the memory object simply manage the data pointer and the maxsize and move
the offset and size handling to common functionality.
Use the READONLY flag to set a readonly lock.
Remove the data and size fields from the unmap method. We need an explicit
resize operation instead of using the unmap function.
Make internal helper lock and unlock functions.
Update unit test and users of the old API.
