For buffers with multiple memory chunks, gst_buffer_map() has the side
effect of merging the memory chunks into one contiguous
chunk. Since gst_util_dump_mem() used gst_buffer_map() the internals
of the buffer could actually change as a result of printing it.
For the case of a buffer containing several memory chunks,
gst_memory_map() is now used to obtain the memory address and each
memory chunk is dumped separately preceded by a header line. The
behaviour for a buffer containing a single memory chunk is left unchanged.
This is a better fit given that the function docs say this
should (only) be used for interval measurements, but also
this seems to give much better granularity on Windows
systems, where before this change there would often be
10-20 lines of debug log with the same timestamp up front.
Various plugins use special values (0 or G_MAXUINT32) as an
invalid/unset group_id, but nothing guarantees a groupid won't have
that value.
Instead define a value which group_id will never have and make
gst_group_id_next() always return a value different from that.
API: GST_GROUP_ID_INVALID
The check for dropping precision was wrong when sxx and syy were negative.
if they are negative then "G_MAXINT64 - val" would always overflow
The check was meant to use G_MININT64 (like in the loop contained just
after).
Various plugins use the value of '0' as an invalid seqnum value
(qtdemux for matching duplicated seek events, for example). Make
that behaviour explicit, create a GST_SEQNUM_INVALID value,
and ensure gst_util_seqnum_next never returns it.
for vararg parameters. Vararg functions are not introspectable anyway,
so might just as well mark them as '(skip)' while we're at it.

If a function takes a floating reference parameter, it should also be
sinked in error cases. Otherwise the function behaves differently
between error and normal cases, which is impossible for bindings to
handle.

This is to help bindings access properties of type GST_TYPE_ARRAY.
This function will get/set the property and convert form/to
GValueArray.

When requesting a pad from a template and it's already linked, this
means it was a static pad. Since we only want to return an *available*
pad, we must return NULL ... but we must also remove the reference
we got from getting that static pad.
The "No need to unref" message (which wasn't true for quite some time)
dates back from the very very very first commit introducing the 0.10
features.
When using seek_simple() in combination with other kinds of seeks, this
becomes problematic. seek_simple() does not reset the stop position to
GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE but keeps whatever a previous seek did. So for example
when doing a seek_simple() after a rate=-1 seek, we would usually get
assertions that start>stop (and stop being the old stop from the rate=1 seek).

We already had a _full() version, but having that alone seems inconsistent.
Add a non-full version that mirrors the behaviour of gst_pad_link() vs
gst_pad_link_full().
Checking the current element's state when we're adding pads to
the parent element is checking the wrong thing.
Silences a 'attempting to add an inactive pad to a running element'
warning when adding a ghost pad to a running parent bin of the parent
bin of the element.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764176
This is a useful function to automatically add ghost pads when linking
two elements across bin boundaries without know their exact parentage.
e.g. when using gst_parse_bin_from_description (with or without it ghosting pads),
one can simply retreive the src/sink pads from the bin to link to another pad.
Similar functionality is provided by gst_element_link_pads{_full}() however only
by pad name rather than by actual pads.
API: gst_pad_link_maybe_ghosting_full
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764176
Do not ignore the caps argument when requesting a pad by template.
This is particularly harmful when the pad caps query by default
returns ANY so it will match the first template instead of the
one that actually intersects with the caps.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751235
gst_bin_sync_children_states() will iterate over all the elements of a bin and
sync their states with the state of the bin. This is useful when adding many
elements to a bin and would otherwise have to call
gst_element_sync_state_with_parent() on each and every one of them.

If an element implements wrongly the URI query and set the uri to NULL and if
the element calls gst_pad_create_stream_id at some point, it will lead to crash
as the uri is not supposed to be NULL in the gst_pad_create_stream_id_internal
function.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744520
Previously gst_element_link_pads_full() forgot to unreference or release
request pads in several error cases. Also comments were added mentioning
why releasing is not necessary in some places.

Support for (nullable) was added to G-I at the same time as nullable
return values. Previous versions of G-I will not mark return values as
nullable, even when an (allow-none) annotation is present, so it is
not necessary to add (allow-none) annotations for compatibility with
older versions of G-I.
