Make gst_caps_do_simplify() take ownership of the input caps and produce a
simplified output caps. This removes the requirement of having writable input
caps and the method can make the caps writable only when needed.
Rework some caps operations so they don't rely on writable caps but instead take
ownership of the input caps and do _make_writable() only when needed.
Remove some const from caps functions, it does not make much sense for
refcounted objects and does not allow us to return a refcount to the const input
caps.
Rework the base classes fixate vmethods to not operate on the caps in-place.
All this saves us around 30% of caps and structure copy and new operations.
Make a helper function check_sticky to check and push pending sticky events.
Move the handling of the result of pushing the sticky event inside the
push_event function, we need to mark the event as received when it was pushed
correctly.
Move the sticky events code outside of gst_pad_push_event_unchecked and
make it purely handle sending the event to the peer.
when pushing a sticky event, first store it on the pad. Then check and push any
pending sticky events when we get a serialized or sticky event on a srcpad. This
fixes the issue where sticky events are not pushed when an event is pushed.
There isn't really any need to provide public API for that. It's not
used anywhere in practice, and we aim to provide an API that works
for GstCaps, not some kind of generic set manipulation API based on
GValue. Making this private also makes it easier to optimise this
later. We can always put it back if someone actually needs it.
Because gst_pad_get_pad_template_caps() returns ANY when there is no template,
the query caps function should also return ANY when there is no template (and no
pad current caps) instead of EMPTY.
Split out the registration of the metadata API and its implementation. Make a
GType for each metadata API. This allows us to store extra information with the
API type such as the tags.
Change the buffer API so that we can get the metadata using the API GType.
Change the query API so that we use the metadata API GType in the allocation
query instead of a string.
Update netaddress and unit tests
Add support for adding tags to the metadata. with some standard keys, this
should make it possible to describe what the metadata refers to. We should be
able to use this information to decide if a transformation destroys the metadata
or not.
lseek() returns the offset if successful, and this is != 0 and
does not indicate an error. And if it does actually fail, don't
return FALSE (0) as an int, but -1. None of these things are
likely to have made a difference, ever. I don't think the offset
seek can ever actually happen, the current file position and the
current offset should always be increased in lock step, unless
there was an error in which case we'd just error out.
After a writer has written to its reserved write location, it can only make the
location available for reading if all of the writers with lower locations have
finished.
Fix a race where the reader would see the updated the tail pointer before the
write could write the data into the queue. Fix this by having a separate reader
tail pointer that is only incremented after the writer wrote the data.
Flesh out the transform method. Add a type and extra info to the transform
function so that implementation can transform the metadata.
Remove the copy function and replace with the more generic transform.
