1e04cefaf2 Mega update of INFO, DEBUG, and ERROR subsystems, renamed with GST_ prefix.
Original commit message from CVS:
Mega update of INFO, DEBUG, and ERROR subsystems, renamed with GST_ prefix.
GST_DEBUG now takes a category parameter, which is the same as GST_INFO
system.  They are now called GST_CAT_*.  All the GST_DEBUGs are set to 0
for now, we need to go and fix all these eventually.

Original commit message from CVS:
Fixed autoplugging for avi
Fixed a bug in multiple typefind function loading: when a typefind is
requested for a mimetype, all plugins with a typefind function should be
loaded.

Original commit message from CVS:
Mostly minor little changes, but two interesting things:

1) removed a pthread_join from the gst_thread_main_loop.  commented out
because the thread isn't supposed to run pthread_join, the main process is.

2) Fixed a major bug with cothreads in threads.  Had to add MAP_FIXED to
the mmap() of the cothread stack.  Presumably the gilbc that ships with
redhat 7.0 now places these mmap requests somewhat randomly.  Since they
*must* be exactly where we expect them, it was failing.  MAP_FIXED forces
it to put it where we say.

Original commit message from CVS:
Header cleanup: try to include as little as possible; this will probably
speed up compilation a bit.
changed the .c files to use #include "..."
Fix for the 'plugins are loaded twice' bug.
Fix 22186: GstObject flags are now used everywhere. Added *_FLAG_LAST so
elements do not use the same flags. Added some padding in the flag enum
for future expansion.

Original commit message from CVS:
Changes made to the DEBUG system.  New header file gstdebug.h holds the
stuff to keep it out of gst.h's hair.  DEBUG prints out the process id,
cothread id, source filename and line number.  Two new macros DEBUG_ENTER
and DEBUG_LEAVE are used to show the entry and exit of a given function.
This eventually might be used to construct call trace graphs, even taking
cothreads into account.  This would be quite useful in visualizing the
scheduling mechanism.

Minor changes to various debug messages.

Also sitting in gstdebug.h is a prototypical DEBUG_ENTER that's capable of
performing DEBUG_LEAVE automatically.  It does this by utilizing a
little-known GCC extension that allows one to call a function with the
same parameters as the current function.  The macro uses this to basically
call itself.  A boolean is used to ensure that when it calls itself it
actually runs the body of the function.  In the meantime it prints stuff
out before and after the real function, as well as constructing a
debugging string.  This can be used eventually to provide call-wide data
on the DEBUG lines, instead of having to replicate data on each call to
DEBUG.  More research is needed into how this would most cleanly be fit
into some other chunk of code, like GStreamer (I think of this DEBUG trick
as a separate project, sorta).

Unfortunately, the aforementioned DEBUG trick interacts quite poorly with
cothreads.  Almost any time it's used in a function that has anything
remotely to do with a cothread context (as in, it runs in one), a segfault
results from the __builtin_apply call, which is the heart of the whole
thing.  If someone who really knows assembly could analyze the resulting
code to see what's really going on, we might find a way to fix either the
macro or the cothreads (I'm thinking that there's something we missed in
constructing the cothreads themselves) so this works in all cases.

In the meantime, please insert both DEBUG_ENTER and DEBUG_LEAVE in your
functions.  Be sure to put DEBUG_ENTER after your variable declarations
and before any functional code, not to put the function name in any DEBUG
strings (it's already there, trust me), and put a DEBUG_LEAVE if you care
enough.

Changes are going to happen in the way DEBUGs and other printouts occur,
so stay tuned.

Enhanced debugging by making DEBUG() print out the cothread ID as well as
the process ID.  cothread_getcurrent returns the current cothread ID, or

Original commit message from CVS:
Rearranged cothread_switch a bit to move all the code for error conditions
to the end, using goto's to get there.  This has the presumed advantage of
consolidating all the normally run code into one chunk, reducing jumps
(and the associated penalties in any modern processor) and limiting cache-
line usage.  It may be instructive to look at the generated assembly for
this revision and the previous, to see if gcc is smart enough to do this
for us anyway.

If you want to turn off some of the checks (they are all checks for NULL
pointers, if you're curious) for a speed gain, disable the #define of
COTHREAD_PARANOID at the top.

Original commit message from CVS:
The cothreads were not initialized in its thread context resulting in
severe stack corruption. This was very hard to track down.
We should be able now to modify some plugins to a loop based setup so that
we can get rid of the mp3parse and mp1videoparse elements.
Modified the GList to a GSList in the queue.

Original commit message from CVS:
Patch from Chris Emerson for PPC.  cothreads stuff was causing segfaults,
because the stack needs to be initialised with a particular structure on
PPC, unlike x86 where it simply has items pushed or popped.
Added Chris to AUTHORS, for his trouble.

Simplified the pipeline autoplugging code.
Changed the cothread case: One iteration is now a push from the src
element. The disk source does not change its state anymore on eof.
Better type setting for the ac3 parser/decoder and mpeg2parse.
