GstDeviceProvider has a started_count private variable counter,
and the gst_device_provider_start() documentation emphasizes the
importance of balancing the start and stop calls.
However, when starting a provider that is already started, the
current code will never increment the counter more than once.
So you start it twice, but it will have start_count 1, which is the
maximum value it will ever see.
Then when you stop it twice, on the 2nd stop, after decrementing the
counter in gst_device_provider_stop():
else if (provider->priv->started_count < 1) {
g_critical
("Trying to stop a GstDeviceProvider %s which is already stopped",
GST_OBJECT_NAME (provider));
and the program is killed.
Fix this by incrementing the counter when starting a device provider that
was already started.
This is racy if the state lock of the parent bin is not taken. The
parent bin might've just checked the flag in another thread and as the
next step proceed to change the child element's state.
We need to take the state lock here to ensure that we're
not currently just before setting the state of this child
element. Otherwise it can happen that we removed the element
here and e.g. set it to NULL state, and shortly afterwards
have another thread set it to a higher state again as part of
a state change for the whole bin.
When adding an element to the bin this is not needed as we
require callers to always ensure after adding to the bin that
the new element is set to the correct state.
There was a dead assignment used outside of the bin/pipeline creation
which was confusing (and unused). Just move that variable to
where it is actually used.
(Note that that variable was not needed outside of that block since
the refactoring done in 2b33d33185 )
Fix corruption of meta list head when removing metas at the beginning

A pointer to a hook in this list can easily not be unique, given both
the slice-allocator reusing memory, and the OS re-using freed blocks
in malloc.
By doing many repeated add and remove of probes, this becomes very easily
reproduced.
Instead use hook_id, which *is* unique for a added GHook.
This is based on g_clear_object(). Basically, you can use this instead
of using gst_mini_object_unref (which needs to be preceded by a NULL-check).

The Harware factory type classifier allows elements (decoders and encoders,

The documentation incorrectly used to state that the pads were

Callers of gst_element_add_pad must not hold the object lock,

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.

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797185
This is for use by the various GST_*_API decorators and
will be what they get defined to when a library API is being
used by external users of that library (not the library itself
whilst it's being compiled).
In most cases it will simply map to a plain 'extern' but on
Windows with MSVC it will need to map to __declspec(dllimport).
For functions this is not strictly needed, but for exported
variables it is.

And only ever use the non-live values if all pads are non-live,
otherwise only use the results of all live pads.
It's unclear what one would use the values for in the non-live case, but
by this we at least pass them through correctly then.
This is a follow-up for 794944f779, which
causes wrong latency calculations if the first pad is non-live but a
later pad is actually live. In that case the live values would be
accumulated together with the values of the non-live first pad,
generally causing wrong min/max latencies to be calculated.
Fixes for gst_segment_position_from_running_time_full() when
converting running_times that precede the segment start (or
stop in a negative rate segment)
The return value was incorrectly negated in those cases.
Add some more unit test checks for those cases, and especially
for segments with offsets.
Instead, use -fvisibility=hidden and explicit exports via GST_EXPORT.
This should result in consistent behaviour for the autotools and
Meson builds where this is done already, and will allow us to drop
the win32 .def files.
IDLE probes that are directly called when being added will increase /
decrease the "number of IDLE probes running" counter around the call,
but when running from the streaming thread this won't happen.
This has the effect that when running from a streaming thread it is
possible to push serialized events or data out of the pad without
problems, but otherwise it would deadlock because serialized data would
wait for the IDLE probe to finish first (it is blocking after all!).
With this change it will now always consistently deadlock instead of
just every once in a while, which should make it obvious why this
happens and prevent racy deadlocks in application code.

This reverts commit 11e0f451eb.
When pushing a sticky event out of a pad with a pad probe or pad offset,
those should not be applied to the event that is actually stored in the
event but only in the event sent downstream. The pad probe and pad
offsets are conceptually *after* the pad, added by external code and
should not affect any internal state of pads/elements.
Also storing the modified event has the side-effect that a re-sent event
would arrive with any previous modifications done by the same pad probe
again inside that pad probe, and it would have to check if its
modifications are already applied or not.
For sink pads and generally for events arriving in a pad, some further
changes are still needed and those are tracked in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765049
In addition, the commit also had a refcounting problem with events,
causing already destroyed events to be stored inside pads.
Previously gst_buffer_list_foreach() could modify (drop or replace)
buffers in non-writable lists, which could cause all kinds of problems
if other code also has a reference to the list and assumes that it stays
the same.

Every container of miniobjects now needs to store itself as parent in
the child object, and remove itself again at a later time.
A miniobject is only writable if there is at most one parent, and that
parent is writable itself, and if the reference count of the miniobject
is 1.
GstBuffer (for memories), GstBufferList (for buffers) and GstSample (for
caps, buffer, bufferlist) was updated accordingly.
Without this it was possible to have e.g. a bufferlist with refcount 2
in two places, modifying the same buffer with refcount 1 at the same
time.

When outputting debug logs on Windows, some sections are protected
with a non-recursive lock. Turns out though that gst_debug_message_get()
might indirectly, via our printf format extensions, call code which
in turn would try to log something when it can't handle something. If
that happens we end up in gst_debug_log_default() again recursively and
try to again take the lock that's already taken, thus deadlocking.

The following case can happen when two thread try to activate and
deactivate a pad at the same time:
T1: starts to deactivate, calls pre_activate(), sets in_activation
to TRUE and carries on
T2: starts to activate, calls pre_activate(), in_activation is TRUE
so it waits on the GCond
T1: calls post_activate(), tries to acquire the streaming lock ..
but can't because T2 is currently holding it
With this patch, the deadlock will no longer happen but does not
solve the problem that:
T2: will resume activation of the pad, set the pad mode to the target
one (PUSH or PULL) and eventually the streaming lock gets released.
T1: is able to finish calling post_activate() ... but ... the pad
wasn't deactivated (T2 was the last one to "activate" the pad.

This is a better fit given that the function docs say this

Fix refcounting issue when plugin was loaded already.
gst_plugin_load() is supposed to return a ref, so it

This also fixes the gstplugin unit test on windows where

When registering a new debug category after gst_init(), simply check
the existing patterns against that new category.
No need to iterate over all categories and recheck them all against
the existing patterns.
Also, no need to re-parse the existing pattern string set via GST_DEBUG
and add the same set of match patterns all over again to the existing
list of match patterns every time we register a new debug category.
Combined with iterating all debug categories on a change this would
make adding debug categories after gst_init() very very very slow.
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).
`./configure --disable-gst-tracer-hooks` didn't do anything, hooks were
always enabled regardless of the option. It works correctly in the
Meson build though.
Checking that the pad is in the correct mode before the parent is
checked makes the call always succeed if the mode is ok.
This fixes a race with ghostpad where gst_pad_activate_mode() could
trigger a g_critical() if the ghostpad is unparented while the
proxypad is deactivating, for instance if the ghostpad is released.
More specifically, gst_ghost_pad_internal_activate_push_default()'s
call to gst_pad_activate_mode() would fail if ghostpad doesn't have a
parent. With this patch it will return true of mode is already
correct.
If we pre-allocate only *exactly* as many nodes as we need for the
core types, we are practically guaranteed a re-alloc when external
code like GstVideoTimeCode or GstEncodingProfile register their
own GstValue things. So allocate a bit more than strictly needed.

The following could happen previously:
* T1: calls gst_pad_set_active()
* T2: currently (de)activating it
* T1: gst_pad_set_active() returns, caller assumes that the pad has
completed the requested (de)activation ... whereas it is not
the case since the actual (de)activation in T2 might still be
going on.
To ensure atomicity of pad (de)activation, we use a internal
variable (and cond) to ensure only one thread at a time goes through
the actual (de)activation block
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790431
checking whether we already were in the target GstPadMode was being
done too early and there was the risk that we *would* end up
(de)activating a pad more than once.
Instead, re-do the check for pad mode when entering the final pad
(de)activation block.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790431
Add convenience API that iterates over all pads, sink pads or
source pads and makes sure that the foreach function is called
exactly once for each pad.
This is a KISS implementation. It doesn't use GstIterator and
doesn't try to do clever things like resync if pads are added
or removed while the function is executing. We can still do that
in future if we think it's needed, but in practice it will
likely make absolutely no difference whatsoever, since these
things will have to be handled properly elsewhere by the element
anyway if they're important.
After all, it's always possible that a pad is added or removed
just after the iterator finishes iterating, but before the
function returns.
This is also a replacement for gst_aggregator_iterate_sink_pads().

Asking to select no streams makes no sense and can create various
issues.
If one doesn't one any stream it should deactivate (or not use) the
element in question.
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 linked elements, the resulting gst_bin_iterate_sorted() will
properly return elements from sink to sources.
If we have some elements that are not linked, we *still* want to
ensure that we return:
* In priority any sinks
* Last of all any sources
* And in between any element which is neither source nor sink
For this to work, when looking for the next candidate element,
not only check the degree order, but if there are two candidates
with the same degree order, prefer the non-source one.
Amongst other things, this fixes the case where we activating a
bin containing unlinked sources and other elements. Without this
we could end up activating sources (which might start adding pads
to be linked) before other (to which those new source element pads
might be linked) are not activated

There were a few errors:
* The plugin scanner now accepts executable path as an argument.
In case it is NULL, argc == 2
* We find the executable path in init_pre instead of gst_init,
allowing this to work when gst is initialized through the
option group (eg gst-inspect)
* There was a semi-colon missing in the __APPLE__ #ifdef
When a plugin declares a dependency using this flag, all the
relative paths are considered to be relative to the path of
the main executable.
We try to determine the path of the executable portably,
with implementations provided for Linux, Windows and Mac.
If retrieval of the path fails, we will not detect changes.
In order for the main executable path to be the same when
scanning a plugin in a child process, a new variable is

This is something bindings can't handle and it causes leaks. Instead

polling file descriptors. G_IO_IN will always be set whenever a message
is available currently.

This patch changes the entry point of each plugin in order to unify the
interface for static and dynamic plugin. What we do is replace the
current static plugin interface and extend the dymamic one. The plugin
entry was a C structure, name "gst_plugin_desc". With this patch, the
interface is now:
GstPpluginDesc *gst_plugin_<name>_get_desc(void);
The reason we change the C structure into function, is that it is
potentially more common to have function pointers, avoiding possible
binding language limitation. Additionally to that. This change prevents
the symbols from clashing between plugins, allowing to build once the
plugin (assuming you have -fPIC).
On the plugin loader side, we symply derive the shared object basename
to extract the plugin name. If this symbol is not found, we fallback to
gst_plugin_desc for backward compatibility.
This has one side effect, which is that the shared objects now need to
be named after their plugin name. This is generally the case with few
exceptions. The benifit of this limitation is that you can control the
gst_plugin_<name>_desc clash at file level.

It is possible to use gst_deinit() without registering the base
classes. For example, when using gst_init_get_option_group() and
call the program with an invalid parameter. In that case,
gst_deinit() will lead to a segmentation fault, since there is a
dereference to a pointer that is null.
This patch validates if the type is non-null before dereferencing
it.

Use g_object_new() instead which nowadays has a shortcut for the
no-properties check. It still does an extra GType check in the
function guard, but there's a pending patch to remove that
and it's hardly going to be a performance issue in practice,
even less so on a system that's compiled without run-time checks.
Alternative would be to move to the new g_object_new_properties()
with a fallback define for older glib versions, but it makes the
code look more unwieldy and doesn't seem worth it.
Fixes deprecation warnings when building against newer GLib versions.

They were (signed!) gint64 before because of G_GINT64_CONSTANT() already
and they are actually used in signed calculations.
With this change we at least ensure that an integer type of the correct
size is used for GI (it was using gint before).
The issue happens when the structure is printed by the logging
subsystem: the object is included in the log, and this will cause the
full object printout to be done there. However, after dispose, the queue
was already cleared, so the access to it (to print the object) would
assert, as the queue was already freed. The patch changes it so that the
queue is merely empty, and only freed in _finalize.

A paramspec validation should modify the content to match what the spec
requires and return TURE if a modification happened. This previous
implementation would only fix the first element of the array and return.
It was also return TRUE for empty array, while no modification was
needed.

The GST_TYPE macro points to global variables initialized by the
first call to get_type. This is not an issue if you call gst_init()
but unfortunatly pygi will need to acces the param type before
init can be called. This removes an assertion.
Those aren't suppose to be called from multiple thread, but all
fundamental get_type() function are thread safe. Fix it to
be consistent and it may help if we change the typing mechanism
in GStreamer come day.
This is to help bindings access properties of type GST_TYPE_ARRAY.
This function will get/set the property and convert form/to
GValueArray.
New API:
gst_util_set_object_array
gst_util_get_object_array

This adds a binding friendly interface to get and set arrays
and list into GstStructure.
New API:
- gst_structure_set_array
- gst_structure_set_list
- gst_structure_get_array
- gst_structure_get_list

When registering GstParamSpecArray, use the gst_value_array_get_type()
function to get the type, rather than the GST_TYPE_ARRAY macro, which
gets it from the _gst_value_array_type, which is in turn only
initialised during gst_init()
Fixes criticals with (python) bindings that look up all the
types from the gobject-introspection info as soon as they
are imported.

If guessing that a string matches a flagset, be more thorough
at checking that the string following a string of hex:hex:
actually looks like a flag set string. Add some unit tests
to catch more cases.

But only when serializing outside of GstStructures, because in case of
GstStructure the type is already preprended to the array/list and the
GstStructure API makes sure that they have the same "generic" type so
deserialization works properly.
This keeps serialization of GstStructures the same as before, and the
GstCaps unit tests already test for that. However when serializing
standalone arrays/lists get the types added now.
This can easily deadlock if the element uses the object lock for
something internally, like posting an error message. Use an GstIterator
for iterating over the pads instead.

When registering a new debug category after _debug_init(), we need to
re check the GST_DEBUG filter settings again.
In addition when parsing the filter setting, we need to already bump up
the min-debug level to not suppress debug log statments that dynamically
register a category. This happens in libraries that use a function to
register a category on first use.
A property not defined in a preset file can simply mean that the
user wants it to be set as it default value, and we should not warn
about that.
A missing preset file in a directory can happen has there are several
directory where a preset can be found in.
Saves us a custom script. Template files are nicer than passing
multiline templating stuff through to glib-mkenums. And we can
get rid of our custom python script.
It's a programming error to pass other pads here, and it easily causes
crashes or other problematic behaviour down the road as subclasses
usually assume to only get their pads.
Allows proper usage of structures in structures in caps. Subtraction
is not implemented due to complications with empty fields representing
all possible values.
The only implementation that doesn't delegate to the already existing
GstStructure functions is the union function.

After b76ecfd992 introduced
GST_PAD_FLAG_ACCEPT_TEMPLATE, the performance penalty this
message is refering to (the cascading ACCEPT_CAPS query)
only applies to the cases where !GST_PAD_IS_ACCEPT_TEMPLATE
