Avoid playing with the refcount to decide when a buffer has been recycled by the
dispose function. The problem is that we then temporarily can have a buffer with
a refcount > 1 being acquired from the pool, which is not writable. Instead use
a simple boolean return value from the dispose function to inform the called
that the object was recycled or not.
Don't remove memory blocks from the buffer when we clip and resize, instead set
the memory offset and size to 0. This allows us to make the buffer larger again
later.
Add more debug.
Alow resize to 0 bytes.
Do clipping correctly.
Add more unit tests. Also add a failing test: when we resize to 0 and then
try to resize back to the original size it fails because the memory was
removed.
Allow for negative offsets when doing memory copy and share.
Add fast path in the _get_sizes() function.
Fix resize for negative offset and expanding the buffer.
Add some unit tests.
Also return the offset in a GstMemory block with the get_sizes() method. This
allows us to figure out how much prefix there is unused.
Change the resize function so that a negative offset can be given. This would
make it possible to resize the buffer so that the prefix becomes available.
Add gst_buffer_get_sizes() to return the offset and maxsize as well as the size.
Also change the buffer resize method so that we can specify a negative offset
to remove prefix bytes.
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.
Fix the code to support allocating the buffer and memory in one memory block.
Add an extra variable to store the memory of the buffer.
This code is disabled still because of complications.
Make a new method to allocate a buffer + memory that takes the allocator and the
alignment as parameters. Provide a macro for the old method but prefer to use
the new method to encourage plugins to negotiate the allocator properly.
Rename the GstMemoryImpl to GstMemoryAllocator because that's really what it is.
Add an alloc vmethod to the allocator members.
Improve registration of allocators.
Add methods to get and set the default allocator
Always use an allocator to allocate memory, use the default allocator when NULL
is passed.
Add user_data to the allocator Info so that we can pass extra info to the
allocator new method.
This reverts commit 9ef1346b1f.
Way to much for one commit and I'm not sure we want to get rid of the pad caps
just like that. It's nice to have the buffer and its type in onw nice bundle
without having to drag the complete context with it.
Allow for automatic merging of memory block in the _map function and automatic
freeing of the temporary memory.
Remove some unneeded functions.
Add possibility to force writable spanned memory.
Replace subbuffer and copy vmethods by a more generic transform function that
can then be parametrised by transform specific data. This should allow us to
implement make-writable and more future transform functions.
Keep a pointer to the bufferpool. Release the buffer to the pool when
finalizing. Make sure the pool sets itself as the pool member of buffers that it
sends out.
Make separate api for getting and adding metadata. This allows us to pass extra
parameters to the init functions when creating metadata, which is needed for
specific API implementations.
Add beginnings of memory metadata.
Add first implementation of arbitrary buffer metadata. We use a simple linked
linked of slice allocated metadata chunks. Future implementations could use
something more performant.
Add get, remove, iterate methods to handle the metadata.
Make sure we execute the same code path in git versions and in releases,
so just warn when metadata isn't writable when we want it to be instead
of bailing out.
The alignment guaranteed by malloc is not always sufficient. E.g. vector
instructions or hardware subsystems want specifically aligned buffers. The
attached patch will use posix_memalign if available to allocate buffers.
The desired alignment can be set when running configure using the new
--with-buffer-alignment option.
Move the parent buffer pointer into the GstBuffer struct so that we can
remove the subbuffer class and type. This is interesting because it allows us to
more naturally implement methods to get the real type and parent
of a subbuffer (See #545501).
It should also be slightly faster because there is no extra object hierarchy to
initialize and free.
Check for metadata writability when setting caps on buffer or when copying
metadata flags. Only enable these extra assertions in git versions.
This should help us find bad elements.

* gst/gstbuffer.h (GST_BUFFER_FREE_FUNC): New API, a free function
that will be called on the malloc_data to free it. Basically a way
to avoid subclassing when all you need is a different free

Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstbuffer.c: (gst_buffer_finalize):

This is an attempt at not segfaulting on errors but reporting some
usefull info instead.
- bin changes so errors can propagate.
- changed the _FAST macros to _CAST because that is what they do.
- removed all references to cothreads out of the core, they are
really a scheduler issue, handler with a sched_private gpointer.
- added a live buffer count, for debugging buffer leaks.
- added error checking in gst_scheduler_state_transition this solves the
"out of cothreads" problem.
- GST_ELEMENT_NO_ENTRY == GST_ELEMENT_INFINITE_LOOP
- added 2 private element flasg for use by the scheduler
(_COTHREAD_STOPPING) is now
- added scheduler entry points:
- _yield : to create possible scheduling points.
- _interrupt: to stop execution of an element.
- _error: to signal en error condition to the scheduler.
- improved error messages for pads.
- signal gst_element_error where appropriate.
- added the a new bin to the parent before entering it so one can reference
its children.
- queue memleak fixes on dispose.
- added possible deadlock detection in queue (turned off be default)
- GstBasicScheduler is a real class of its own now, hiding its internal
variables.
- GST_ELEMENT_IS_COTHREAD_STOPPING is gone. either call explicit _yield
operations, or make a sane loop.
- Better state change handling in filesrc. Better error reporting/recovery
too.
- updated core plugins.
- detect non decoupled elements on scheduler boundries and error.

plugin.
- Added a new mpeg1/2 parser/demuxer.
- Fixed some compiler warnings in the core libs.
- substantial work to GstThread (hopefully less race conditions). simplified

thread context.
- reworked the state semantics of a bin. it'll now automatically get the
highest state of its children.
- the autoplugger now nests the threads so that a state change failure of
one thread doesn't make its upstream thread lock.
- GstQueue refuses to go to PLAYING if the sinkpad is not connected. This
way the queue will not wedge in the _get lock.
- GstQueue unlocks its mutexes when going to PAUSED.
- make sure that when all elements in a bin/thread go to PAUSED, the bin
is set to PAUSED too.
- make a parent bin wait for its children to PAUSE before ending the
iteration with FALSE (EOS)
- Some changes to GstPlay to deal with EOS.
- aplied the latest patch from Zeenix to gstrtp.
end result: GstPlay doesn't crash on EOS and the pipeline is now shut down
properly.
Original commit message from CVS:
API docs.
revived _buffer_ref_by_count
fast types for scheduler and bin.
error checking on plugin features;
removed some prototypes that were not implemented (gst_pipeline_iterate
comes to mind)
remove gst_pad_event until we know what it's supposed to do.
remove sinesrc, it wasn't compiles anymore, so...
updates to various elements that used the old event API.
Original commit message from CVS:
Move newbuf creation to the non-copyfunc case, since the copyfunc is now
assumed to create the buffer (from a bufferpool, perhaps). This solves a
memory leak.
Original commit message from CVS:
1. Add more warnings for the gst core only. Various trival fixes
to quiet the warnings.
2. Fix GstBufferCopyFunc prototype.
3. Re-apply the reverted type!=0 assertion in gst_elementfactory_new.
