By passing NULL to `g_signal_new` instead of a marshaller, GLib will
actually internally optimize the signal (if the marshaller is available
in GLib itself) by also setting the valist marshaller. This makes the
signal emission a bit more performant than the regular marshalling,
which still needs to box into `GValue` and call libffi in case of a
generic marshaller.
Note that for custom marshallers, one would use
`g_signal_set_va_marshaller()` with the valist marshaller instead.
Since we started depending on GLib 2.44, we can be sure this macro is
defined (it will be a no-op on compilers that don't support it). For
plugins we should just start using `G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE` which means we
no longer need the macro there, but for most types in base/gst-libs we
don't want to break ABI, which means it's better to just keep it like it
is (and use the `#ifdef` instead).
For each lib we build export its own API in headers when we're
building it, otherwise import the API from the headers.
This fixes linker warnings on Windows when building with MSVC.
The problem was that we had defined all GST_*_API decorators
unconditionally to GST_EXPORT. This was intentional and only
supposed to be temporary, but caused linker warnings because
we tell the linker that we want to export all symbols even
those from externall DLLs, and when the linker notices that
they were in external DLLS and not present locally it warns.
What we need to do when building each library is: export
the library's own symbols and import all other symbols. To
this end we define e.g. BUILDING_GST_FOO and then we define
the GST_FOO_API decorator either to export or to import
symbols depending on whether BUILDING_GST_FOO is set or not.
That way external users of each library API automatically
get the import.
While we're at it, add new GST_API_EXPORT in config.h and use
that for GST_*_API decorators instead of GST_EXPORT.
The right export define depends on the toolchain and whether
we're using -fvisibility=hidden or not, so it's better to set it
to the right thing directly than hard-coding a compiler whitelist
in the public header.
We put the export define into config.h instead of passing it via the
command line to the compiler because it might contain spaces and brackets
and in the autotools scenario we'd have to pass that through multiple
layers of plumbing and Makefile/shell escaping and we're just not going
to be *that* lucky.
The export define is only used if we're compiling our lib, not by external
users of the lib headers, so it's not a problem to put it into config.h
Also, this means all .c files of libs need to include config.h
to get the export marker defined, so fix up a few that didn't
include config.h.
This commit depends on a common submodule commit that makes gst-glib-gen.mak
add an #include "config.h" to generated enum/marshal .c files for the
autotools build.

It is possible that both application and the stream are waiting
currently, if for example the following happens:
1) app is waiting because no buffer in appsink
2) appsink providing a buffer and waking up app
3) appsink getting another buffer and waiting because it's full now
4) app thread getting back control
Previously step 4 would overwrite that the appsink is currently waiting,
so it would never be signalled again.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795551
We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.
Performance optimisation: Keep track whenever the streaming
thread or the application thread are waiting on the GCond for
more space or new data, and only signal on the GCond if someone
is actually waiting. Avoids unnecessary syscalls and thus
context switches.

The while loop should end when all buffers "and" the preroll
buffer are consumed but this means to continue waiting if there
are still some pending buffers "or" preroll buffer.
The unit test was correct but racy because of this mistake.
I.e. because of the wrong "and" the while could finish too early.

If someone calls gst_app_sink_try_pull_sample they are
probably no longer interested in any preroll samples.
Useful if the user has not registered a preroll appsink callback.
Also added unit test 'test_do_not_care_preroll'
make elements/appsink.check
that fails without this patch.

There is no reason for appsink to hang onto the preroll buffer.
If needed, the application can just keep a ref on this buffer
after calling gst_app_sink_try_pull_preroll.
Also added unit test 'test_pull_preroll'
make elements/appsink.check

Initialize min and max _get_property() to gets rid of these
compiler warnings:
gstappsrc.c:741:7: error: 'max' may be used uninitialized in this function
g_value_set_int64 (value, max);
^
gstappsrc.c:733:7: error: 'min' may be used uninitialized in this function
g_value_set_int64 (value, min);
^
Which happens because gcc doesn't know that GST_IS_APP_SRC will never
fail here.

Rename function parameter and make sure the name in the
declaration matches the name in the implementation, to
avoid g-i warnings. Also add Since markers for gtk-doc.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
The _pull_sample() and _pull_preroll() functions block
until a sample is available, EOS happens or the pipeline
is shut down (returning NULL in the last two cases).
This adds _try_pull_sample() and _try_pull_preroll()
functions with a timeout argument to specify the maximum
amount of time to wait for a new sample.
To avoid code duplication, wait forever if the timeout is
GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE and use that to implement
_pull_sample/_pull_preroll with the original behavior.
Add also corresponding action signals "try-pull-sample"
and "try-pull-preroll".
