Otherwise check_events() will not remove the GAP event (as the queue
tail is not the event anymore but the GAP buffer), then the GAP buffer
is handled, then the GAP event is handled again, ... forever.
This ensures that they really get processed in order with
buffers. Just waiting for the queue to be empty is sometimes not
enough as the buffers are dropped from the pad before the result is
pushed to the next element, sometimes resulting in surprising
re-ordering.
In the case an aggregator is created and pads are requested but only
linked later, we end up never updating the upstream latency.
This was because latency queries on pads that are not linked succeed,
so we never did a new query once a live source has been linked, so the
thread was never started.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757548
The function needs to be unlocked if any data is received, but only
end the first buffer processing on an actual buffer, synchronized events
don't matter on the first buffer processing.

Allowing us to tell GstPad why we are failing an event, which might
be because we are 'flushing' even if the sinkpad is not in flush state
at that point.
Until now we would start the task when the pad is activated. Part of the
activiation concist of testing if the pipeline is live or not.
Unfortunatly, this is often too soon, as it's likely that the pad get
activated before it is fully linked in dynamic pipeline.
Instead, start the task when the first serialized event arrive. This is
a safe moment as we know that the upstream chain is complete and just
like the pad activation, the pads are locked, hence cannot change.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757548
This fixes a race where we check if there is a clock, then it get
removed and we endup calling gst_clock_new_single_shot_id() with a NULL
pointer instead of a valid clock and also calling gst_object_unref()
with a NULL pointer later.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757548
Previously, while allocating the pad number for a new pad, aggregator was
maintaining an interesting relationship between the pad count and the pad
number.
If you requested a sink pad called "sink_6", padcount (which is badly named and
actually means number-of-pads-minus-one) would be set to 6. Which means that if
you then requested a sink pad called "sink_0", it would be assigned the name
"sink_6" again, which fails the non-uniqueness test inside gstelement.c.
This can be fixed by instead setting padcount to be 7 in that case, but this
breaks manual management of pad names by the application since it then becomes
impossible to request a pad called "sink_2". Instead, we fix this by always
directly using the requested name as the sink pad name. Uniqueness of the pad
name is tested separately inside gstreamer core. If no name is requested, we use
the next available pad number.
Note that this is important since the sinkpad numbering in aggregator is not
meaningless. Videoaggregator uses it to decide the Z-order of video frames.
This code will never be called as max>=min in all cases. If the upstream
latency query returned min>max, the function already returned and all
values that are added to those have max>= min.
Not all aggregator subclasses will have a single pad template called sink_%u
and might do something special depending on what the application requests.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=757018
Otherwise they will receive a QOS event that has earliest_time=0 (because we
can't have negative timestamps), and consider their buffer as too late
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754356
In the case where you have a source giving the GstAggregator smaller
buffers than it uses, when it reaches a timeout, it will consume the
first buffer, then try to read another buffer for the pad. If the
previous element is not fast enough, it may get the next buffer even
though it may be queued just before. To prevent that race, the easiest
solution is to move the queue inside the GstAggregatorPad itself. It
also means that there is no need for strange code cause by increasing
the min latency without increasing the max latency proportionally.
This also means queuing the synchronized events and possibly acting
on them on the src task.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745768
Before aggregator based elements always started at running time 0,
now it's possible to select the first input buffer running time or
explicitly set a start-time value.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749966
Adding a pad will add a new upstream that might have a bigger minimum latency,
so we might have to wait longer. Or it might be the first live upstream, in
which case we will have to start deadline based aggregation.
Removing a pad will remove a new upstream that might have had the biggest
latency, so we can now stop waiting a bit earlier. Or it might be the last
live upstream, in which case we can stop deadline based aggregation.
And keep on querying upstream until we get a reply.
Also, the _get_latency_unlocked() method required being calld
with a private lock, so removed the _unlocked() variant from the API.
And it now returns GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE when the element is not live as
we think that 0 upstream latency is possible.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=745768
One has to use the src_lock anyway to protect the min/max/live so they
can be notified atomically to the src thread to wake it up on changes,
such as property changes. So no point in having a second lock.
Also, the object lock was being held across a call to
GST_ELEMENT_WARNING, guaranteeing a deadlock.
While gst_aggregator_iterate_sinkpads() makes sure that every pad is only
visited once, even when the iterator has to resync, this is not all we have
to do for querying the latency. When the iterator resyncs we actually have
to query all pads for the latency again and forget our previous results. It
might have happened that a pad was removed, which influenced the result of
the latency query.
It was between another function and its helper function before, which was
confusing when reading the code as it had nothing to do with the other
functions.
This lock is not what is commonly known as a "stream lock" in GStremer,
it's not recursive and it's taken from the non-serialized FLUSH_START event.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742684
steal_buffer() + unref seems to be a wide-spread idiom
(which perhaps indicates that something is not quite
right with the way aggregator pad works currently).
Instead of using the GST_OBJECT_LOCK we should have
a dedicated mutex for the pad as it is also associated
with the mutex on the EVENT_MUTEX on which we wait
in the _chain function of the pad.
The GstAggregatorPad.segment is still protected with the
GST_OBJECT_LOCK.
Remove the gst_aggregator_pad_peak_unlocked method as it does not make
sense anymore with a private lock.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742684
Some members sometimes used atomic access, sometimes where not locked at
all. Instead consistently use a mutex to protect them, also document
that.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742684
Reduce the number of locks simplify code, what is protects
is exposed, but the lock was not.
Also means adding an _unlocked version of gst_aggregator_pad_steal_buffer().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742684
Whenever a GCond is used, the safest paradigm is to protect
the variable which change is signalled by the GCond with the same
mutex that the GCond depends on.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742684
No need to use an iterator for this which creates a temporary
structure every time and also involves taking and releasing the
object lock many times in the course of iterating. Not to mention
all that GList handling in gst_aggregator_iterate_sinkpads().
The minimum latency is the latency we have to wait at least
to guarantee that all upstreams have produced data. The maximum
latency has no meaning like that and shouldn't be used for waiting.
When iterating sink pads to collect some data, we should take the stream lock so
we don't get stale data and possibly deadlock because of that. This fixes
a definitive deadlock in _wait_and_check() that manifests with high max
latencies in a live pipeline, and fixes other possible race conditions.
This simplifies the code and also makes sure that we don't forget to check all
conditions for waiting.
Also fix a potential deadlock caused by not checking if we're actually still
running before starting to wait.
When this is TRUE, we really have to produce output. This happens
in live mixing mode when we have to output something for the current
time, no matter if we have enough input or not.
This removes the uses of GAsyncQueue and replaces it with explicit
GMutex, GCond and wakeup count which is used for the non-live case.
For live pipelines, the aggregator waits on the clock until either
data arrives on all sink pads or the expected output buffer time
arrives plus the timeout/latency at which time, the subclass
produces a buffer.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741146
Otherwise the caps of the pad might change while the subclass still works with
a buffer of the old caps, assuming the the current pad caps apply to that
buffer. Which then leads to crashes and other nice effects.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740376
Audiomixer blocksize, cant be 0, hence adjusting the minimum value to 1

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738845
Determines the amount of time that a pad will wait for a buffer before
being marked unresponsive.
Network sources may fail to produce buffers for an extended period of time,
currently causing the pipeline to stall possibly indefinitely, waiting for
these buffers to appear.
Subclasses should render unresponsive pads with either silence (audio), the
last (video) frame or what makes the most sense in the given context.
The previous implementation kept accumulating GSources,
slowing down the iteration and leaking memory.
Instead of trying to fix the main context flushing, replace
it with a GAsyncQueue which is simple to flush and has
less overhead.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736782
Without a lock that is taken in FLUSH_START we had a rare race where we
end up aggregating a buffer that was before the whole FLUSH_START/STOP
dance. That could lead to very wrong behaviour in subclasses.
Avoiding to be in an inconsistent state where we do not have
actual negotiate caps set as srccaps and leading to point where we
try to unref ->srccaps when they have already been set to NULL.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735042
Along with the required mandatory dependent events.
Some elements need to perform an allocation query inside
::negotiated_caps(). Without the caps event being sent prior,
downstream elements will be unable to answer and will return
an error.

We would constantly re-post the taglist because
posted_avg_rate only gets set to avg_bitrate if
parse->priv->post_avg_bitrate is true, so if it's
false the posted rate will always differ from the
current average rate and we'd queue an update,
which leads to us spamming downstream and the
application with taglist updates.
Fix this by only queuing an update if the average
rate will actually be posted.
These taglists updates could cause expensive

Holding this lock on live source prevents the source from changing
the caps in ::create() without risking a deadlock. This has consequences
as the LIVE_LOCK was replacing the STREAM_LOCK in many situation. As a
side effect:
- We no longer need to unlock when doing play/pause as the LIVE_LOCK
isn't held. We then let the create() call finish, but will block if
the state have changed meanwhile. This has the benefit that
wait_preroll() calls in subclass is no longer needed.
- We no longer need to change the state to unlock, simplifying the
set_flushing() interface
- We need different handling for EOS depending if we are in push or pull
mode.
This patch also document the locking of each private class member and
the locking order.

This is something bindings can't handle and it causes leaks. Instead
move the ref_sink() to the explicit, new() constructors.

this affects GstClock and GstControlSource.

gst_harness_new_parse() returns without any error even if it doesn't
find the specified element. Then a succeeding call to
gst_harness_set_sink_caps_str() causes an error like this:
Unexpected critical/warning: gst_pad_push_event: assertion 'GST_IS_PAD (pad)' failed
This is a bit cryptic and doesn't give users any clue what was going
on.
gst_harness_new_parse() calls gst_harness_add_parse() with a newly
created empty harness and the given pipeline description string, but
gst_harness_add_parse() does not have a way to propagate the error
back to the caller. Since the function, gst_harness_add_parse(), is a
public API, it's not a good idea to change its signature. This patch,
instead, makes the function to g_error() when it discovers any error.
With this change the same error prints:
** (myelement-test:25345): ERROR **: Unable to create pipeline 'bin.( myelement )': no element "myelement"
The current implementation of gst_parse_launch_full() doesn't return
partially constructed pipeline when GST_PARSE_FLAG_FATAL_ERRORS is
specified, however, this patch also adds a check for it.

Use g_object_new() instead which nowadays has a shortcut for the

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()

This patch reorganize the bash completion scripts in order to install
the binary helper (gst-completion-helper) in libexec path rather then
share folder. Most Linux hierarchy compliance requires that no binary
executable are placed in share. We also cleanup the unused .pc entries
and remove copy pasted parts of the script. Note that other project
including the common helper, should now use $_GST_HELPER to read
the binary executable gst-completion-helper. This helper is not longer
version, as it is placed in a versionned subfolder
(libexec/gstreamer.10) just like the other helpers (scanner and ptp).
If parsing returns a non-OK flow return in the middle
of processing an input buffer, don't overwrite that
if a later return is OK again - the subclass might
return not-linked in the middle, and then discard
subsequent data without pushing while returning OK.
A later success doesn't invalidate the earlier failure,
but we should continue processing after not-linked, so
as to keep parse state consistent.

New API functions to filter log messages before they are processed by
GstCheck. This can be used to discard specific messages that are
accepted by the test or to add callbacks that test specific messages.
Default bevavior when no callback is given to a filter is to discard the

callback which does not discard; that would be a noop.
Discarded messages will in addition to bypass the GstCheck handling also
return to GLib that the message is not fatal if it occurs.

When malloc is not available, this will set #define malloc rpl_malloc
which is implemented only inside libcheck, and not everything will link

We don't really need to care too much about how malloc is implemented
and we don't care about platforms that don't implement malloc.
This brings us up-to-speed with the latest compatibility code from upstream
check git. For completeness, we do all the checks that upstream check does, but
we skip the snprintf/vsnprintf code because it's not straightforward (involves
running code and that is bad for cross-compilation) and not necessary for the
platforms we support anyway.
If someone really wants this, they can uncomment this and copy the relevant
checks from the check git repository.

If the parser is not parsing a raw elementary stream, restrict

If segment.stop was given, and the subclass provides a size that might be
smaller than segment.stop and also smaller than the actual size, we would
already stop there.
Instead try reading up to segment.stop, the goal is to ignore the (possibly
inaccurate) size the subclass gives and finish until segment.stop or when the
subclass tells us to stop.
Waiting before posting calculated bitrates seems to be the
intent of the code, so avoid adding them to the tag list
pushed with the first frame.
When the threshold is reached, gst_base_parse_update_bitrates
sets tags_changed, so this posts the calculated ones right
that moment.
This prevents an insane average calculated from just the
first (key) frame from getting posted.

If we were in PAUSED, the current clock time and base time don't have much to
do with the running time anymore as the clock might have advanced while we
were PAUSED. The system clock does that for example, audio clocks often don't.
Updating the start time in PAUSED will cause a) the wrong position to be
reported, b) step events to step not just the requested amount but the amount
of time we spent in PAUSED. The start time should only ever be updated when
going from PLAYING to PAUSED to remember the current running time (to be able
to compensate later when going to PLAYING for the clock time advancing while
PAUSED), not when we are already in PAUSED.

The subclass should do that already, but just in case do it ourselves too as a
fallback. Without this, e.g. playbin will just wait forever if this fails
because it is triggered as part of an ASYNC state change.
POSIX standards requires strsignal() to return a pointer to a char,
not a const pointer to a char. [1] On uClibc, and possibly other
libc's, that do not HAVE_DECL_STRSIGNAL, libcompat.h declares
const char *strsignal (int sig) which causes a type error.

To allow the GstTestClock to be used as a GstSystemClock, it is
useful to implement the clock-type property that GstSystemClock
provides. This allows GstTestClock to be used as the system clock
with code that expects a GstSystemClock.

Otherwise PTS and DTS will come out of sync if upstream continues to provide
PTS and not DTS, and we have to skip some data from the stream or PTS are not
exactly increasing with the duration of each packet.

gsttypefindhelper.c:485: Warning: GstBase: invalid "transfer" annotation for gsize: only valid for array, struct, union, boxed, object and interface types
If we don't store the value in prev_dts, we would over and over again
initialize the DTS from the last known upstream PTS. If upstream only provides
PTS every now and then, then this causes DTS to be rather static.
For example in adaptive streaming scenarios this means that all buffers in a
fragment will have exactly the same DTS while the PTS is properly updated. As
our queues are now preferring to do buffer fill level calculations on DTS,
this is causing huge problems there.
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691481#c27 where this part of
the code was introduced.

It is calling do_sync(), which requires the STREAM_LOCK and PREROLL_LOCK to be
taken. The STREAM_LOCK is already taken in all callers, the PREROLL_LOCK not.

This is the best guess we can make if such a buffer reached the collect
pad. This is uncommon, we do expect parsers to have tried and fixed that
if possible (or needed).

Many parsers are storing tags only in pre_push_frame(), if we wouldn't check
afterwards we would push buffers before those tags and a lot of code assumes that
tags are available before preroll.
