Remove gst_mini_object_register() and add a GST_DEFINE_MINI_OBJECT macro to
define a _get_type() function for the boxed miniobject.
Remove a bunch of custom _get_type() functions and replace them with the
miniobject macro.
Rename some _init method to _priv_*_initialize() like the rest of them.
Inspired by patch from Johan Dahlin and see bug #657603
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
