This can be used to identify buffers for which a higher percentage
of redundancy should be allocated when performing forward error
correction, or to prevent still video frames from being dropped by
elements due to QoS.

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
should (only) be used for interval measurements, but also
this seems to give much better granularity on Windows
systems, where before this change there would often be
10-20 lines of debug log with the same timestamp up front.
Fix refcounting issue when plugin was loaded already.
gst_plugin_load() is supposed to return a ref, so it
must always return a ref.
This also fixes the gstplugin unit test on windows where
fork is not available and where test_load_coreelements()
would unref a plugin ref it didn't get and then mess up
the internal registry plugin list state for the next test,
in case where the test registry does not exist yet.
When actually pushing an event, if we get GST_FLOW_CUSTOM_SUCCESS_1
(which is the conversion of GST_PAD_PROBE_HANDLED return value),
don't consider the stick event push as ignored, but as handled
Various plugins use special values (0 or G_MAXUINT32) as an
invalid/unset group_id, but nothing guarantees a groupid won't have
that value.
Instead define a value which group_id will never have and make
gst_group_id_next() always return a value different from that.
API: GST_GROUP_ID_INVALID
While the refcount of the pad is decreased, it's the refcount that is
owned by the parent (i.e. the element) and not the one passed in by the
caller.
Fixes a memory leak in bindings.

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.
An object that can be waited on and asked for asynchronous values.
In much the same way as promise/futures in js/java/etc
A callback can be installed for when the promise changes state.

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().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785679
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
exposed in gst_private.h, _gst_executable_path

Without the former, event changes (e.g. setting a pad offset) does not
take effect for the current buffer but only for the next one. Without
the latter, non-blocking event probes would not see any updated events

Add back function guard that checks the refcount in a read-only
operation first, and bail out without modifying the passed-in
memory if it's clearly not a valid mini object. Otherwise we
probably cause more harm than good. We keep the second sanity
check based on the 'real refcount' at the time of the unref
around for now too.

Need to pass -DGST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED to avoid warnings when
testing deprecated API such as gst_uri_construct().
Also remove #ifndef GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED guard from header
file, we don't use those any more for functions, the
GST_DEPRECATED_FOR macro is enough.
The gst_uri_construct function was escaping the location string
as a generic uri string. This is incorrect since the slash('/')
characters are reserved for use in this exact case. The patch
changes the escape_string function mode to handle the path correctly.
I have deleted the escape_string function since it is no longer being
used and have created a unit test for the function. I have also
deprecated this function in favour of the GstUri API.

This is something bindings can't handle and it causes leaks. Instead
move the ref_sink() to the explicit, new() constructors.
This means that abstract classes, and anything that can have subclasses,
will have to do ref_sink() in their new() function now. Specifically
this affects GstClock and GstControlSource.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743062
If a function takes a floating reference parameter, it should also be
sinked in error cases. Otherwise the function behaves differently
between error and normal cases, which is impossible for bindings to
handle.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747990
If a function takes a floating reference and sinks it, it should also do
that in error cases. I.e. call ref_sink() followed by unref().
Otherwise the reference counting behaviour of the function will be
different between the good and the error case, and simply inconsistent.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747990
Can't use a #ifndef GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED guard around deprecated
functions any more, as they won't get exported then. Besides, we
get a nicer error message from the compiler telling us what function
to use instead this way.
This is a meta that generically allows to attach additional reference
timestamps to a buffer, that don't have to relate to the pipeline clock
in any way.
Examples of this could be an NTP timestamp when the media was captured,
a frame counter on the capture side or the (local) UNIX timestamp when
the media was captured.

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.

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.

When registering GstParamSpecArray, use the gst_value_array_get_type()

If guessing that a string matches a flagset, be more thorough

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.

We are passing a flag rather than a simple boolean as we can imagine

This structure is always allocated by GStreamer, can't be
subclassed or extended, and is never allocated or used on
the stack, so we don't need any padding and can extend it
as we please.
When requesting a pad from a template and it's already linked, this
means it was a static pad. Since we only want to return an *available*
pad, we must return NULL ... but we must also remove the reference
we got from getting that static pad.
The "No need to unref" message (which wasn't true for quite some time)
dates back from the very very very first commit introducing the 0.10
features.
The caller might pass arbitrary data here that caused the error, and
trying to set invalid UTF-8 in a GstStructure causes it to be not set at
all. Later when trying to parse it, the field will not exist and the
return value will point to invalid memory. Prevent this by storing NULL
instead.
Also print a g_warning(), the caller should never ever do this to begin
with.

Implement GstDynamicTypeFactory as a new registry feature.
GstDynamicTypeFactory provides a way of registering a GType
into the registry, such that it will be registered as a dynamic

* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:
http://blog.nirbheek.in/2016/05/gstreamer-and-meson-new-hope.htmlhttp://blog.nirbheek.in/2016/07/building-and-developing-gstreamer-using.html
Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
This makes gstconfig.h completely arch-independent. Should cover all
compilers that gstreamer is known to build on, and all architectures
that I could find information on. People are encouraged to file bugs if
their platform/arch is missing.
A new event which precedes EOS in situations where we
need downstream to unblock any pads waiting on a stream
before we can send EOS. E.g, decodebin draining a chain
so it can switch pads.

Redirection messages are already used in fragmented sources and in
uridecodebin, so it makes sense to introduce these as an official message
type.

In some corner cases, the error 'code' part passed to
GST_ELEMENT_ERROR() is a valid define as well, in which
case it won't survive two levels of macro expansion, but
only one. Fixes:
oss4-sink.c: In function ‘gst_oss4_sink_open’:
error: ‘GST_RESOURCE_ERROR_0x00000002’ undeclared (first use in this function)
GST_ ## domain ## _ERROR_ ## code, __txt, __dbg, __FILE__,
which is from GST_ELEMENT_ERROR(el,RESOURCE,OPEN_WRITE,..)
and OPEN_WRITE happens to be defined to 2 here.

gst_structure_id_get() returns a new reference so the returned object is
actually (transfer full).
The unit tests was already unreffing the objects.

gst_structure_id_get() returns a new reference so the returned device is
actually (transfer full).
The code using this API was already correct but the code example in
comments was not.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768776
We don't free this from gst_deinit() but from gst_task_cleanup_all(),
so more GStreamer API may be called. In particular makes unit tests
work again with CK_FORK=no.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768577
This ensures that all async operations (started from gst_element_call_async())
have been completed and so there is no extra thread running.
Fix races when checking for leaks on unit tests as some of those
operations were still running when the leaks tracer was checking for
leaked objects.

gcc 6 has problems detecting and avoiding throwing
a warning for tautological compares in macros (they
should only trigger for compares outside macros).
Avoid them with a nasty cast of one parameter to void *
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764526
Especially if multiple threads are waiting for buffers to be available again,
the current code was wrong. Fix this and document clearly how the GstPoll is
supposed to be used.
Also fix some potential races with reading from the GstPoll before writing
actually happened.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=767979
It might happen that we popped the message before writing of the control
happened. In this case we just have to retry again a bit later, and failure to
do so will cause an additional byte in the control and the GSource /
gst_poll_wait() to always wake up again immediately.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750397
And also mention what the expected values of errno are going to be.
write_control() will only ever return FALSE if there was a critical error. It
will never return because of EINTR, EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK.
read_control() will return FALSE if there was no byte to read, in which case
errno would be EWOULDBLOCK.
In all other cases there was a critical error.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750397
On timer GstPolls it will cause the control socket state to become
inconsistent as now one less read_control() than write_control() be would
needed.
Similarly, read_control() and write_control() are only valid on timer
GstPolls.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750397
This might fail even under correct usage, e.g. if read_control() is called
from another thread before write_control() finished in another. It has to be
retried then, or other measures have to be taken, depending on how it is used
by the surrounding code.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750397
This addresses slightly different race conditions on Linux and Windows, and
fixes gst_poll_read_control() when control_pending == 0.
On Linux, the socketpair() used for control should not be made O_NONBLOCK.
If there's any propagation delay between set->control_write_fd.fd and
set->control_read_fd.fd, even the mutex now held will not be sufficient to
prevent a race condition. There's no benefit to using O_NONBLOCK, here.
Only liabilities.
For Windows, it's necessary to fix the race condition between testing
set->control_pending and performing WAKE_EVENT()/RELEASE_EVENT(). This is
accomplished by acquiring and holding set->lock, for both of these operations.
We could optimize the Linux version by making this Windows-specific.
For consistency with the Linux implementation, Windows' RELEASE_EVENT()
has also been made to block, although it should never happen.
Also, changed release_wakeup() to return TRUE and decrement control_pending
only when > 0. Furthermore, RELEASE_EVENT() is called only when
control_pending == 1.
Finally, changed control_pending to use normal, non-atomic arithmetic
operations, since it's now protected by set->lock.
Note: even though the underlying signaling mechanisms are blocking,
release_wakeup() is effectively non-blocking, as it will only attempt to read
from control_read_fd.fd after a byte has been written to control_write_fd.fd
or WaitForSingleObject() after it's been signaled.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750397
GCC emits an error for this with -Werror:
plugin.c:22:1: error: 'gst_plugin_desc' initialized and declared 'extern' [-Werror]
This matches how glib does symbol exporting.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=767463
If the prototypes in the public API have dllimport in them when building
statically on Windows, the compiler will look for symbols with symbol
mangling and indirection corresponding to a DLL. This will cause a build
failure when trying to link tests/examples/etc.
External users of GStreamer also need to define -DGST_STATIC_COMPILATION
if they want to link to static gstreamer libraries on Windows.
A similar version of this patch has been committed to all gstreamer
repositories.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=767463
We already had a _full() version, but having that alone seems inconsistent.
Add a non-full version that mirrors the behaviour of gst_pad_link() vs
gst_pad_link_full().
For GST_EXPORT define and also things like GST_DISABLE_REGISTRY.
Hopefully fixes the following build failure on cerbero-cross-mingw32:
helpers/gst-plugin-scanner.c:50: undefined reference to `_imp___gst_disable_registry_cache'
This static library gets included directly into libgstreamer-1.0.so, so it needs
the same GST_EXPORTS definition as the rest of the code that's compiled into
that otherwise it will try to find the constants it uses from gstinfo via DLL
importing (__declspec(dllimport)).
Fixes https://ci.gstreamer.net/job/cerbero-cross-mingw32/4393/
__declspec(dllexport/import) are supported by GCC and are needed for
properly generating code that fetches the values of constants from DLLs
built with __declspec(dllexport) which happens when anything using
GST_EXPORT is built with MSVC.
See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/619w14ds.aspx
Essentially, if you built gstreamer with MSVC and then tried to use
constants from it (such as GST_TYPE_CAPS) in a plugin, GCC would
retrieve the address of the value instead of the value itself.
This means applications and bin sub-classes can easily track when
a new child element is added to the pipeline sub-hierarchy or
removed.
Currently doesn't signal deep added/removed for elements inside
a bin if a bin is added/removed.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578933
Make it explicit that the pad is only blocked while the callback is running,
and the pad will be unblocked again once the callback returned.
If BLOCK and IDLE behaviour is needed, both need to be used.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766002
When doing a transition from PLAYING to PLAYING, we will fail
to forward an EOS message on the bus, and noone else will ever
send it because there'll be no actual state changed message.
Allow EOS through directly in that case.
If there is only one pad in the internal pads, when folding for
LATENCY queries it will just drop the response if it's not live.
This is maybe not the proper fix, but it will just accept the first
peer responses, and if there are any other pads, it will only take
them into account if the response is live.
This *should* properly handle the aggregation/folding behaviour of
multiple live peer responses, while at the same time handling the
simple one-pad-only-and-forward use-case
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766360
A lot of debug categories are declared in element class_init
functions, which don't get run until the element is first created
(not just registered in the plugin load function). This means
that --gst-debug-help doesn't print out a lot of categories.
Creating an instance of each element from the element factory
makes them visible, at some extra cost - 2-3 times longer, which can
be a full second or two of extra waiting. Yikes!
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=741001
When activating a pad in PULL mode, it might already be in PUSH mode. We now
first try to deactivate it from PUSH mode and then try to activate it in PULL
mode. If the activation fails, we would set the pad to flushing and set it
back to its old mode. However the old mode is wrong, the pad is not in PUSH
mode anymore but in NONE mode.
This fixes e.g. typefind in decodebin reactivating PUSH/PULL mode if upstream
actually fails to go into PULL mode after first PUSHING data to typefind.
This calls a function from another thread, asynchronously. This is to be
used for cases when a state change has to be performed from a streaming
thread, directly via gst_element_set_state() or indirectly e.g. via SEEK
events.
Calling those functions directly from the streaming thread will cause
deadlocks in many situations, as they might involve waiting for the
streaming thread to shut down from this very streaming thread.
This is mostly a convenience function around a GThreadPool and is for example
used by GstBin to continue asynchronous state changes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760532
Passing years > 9999, months > 12 or days > 31 to gst_date_time_new() will
cause an assertion and generally does not make much sense. Instead consider it
as a parsing error like hours > 24 and return NULL.
This previously caused uninitialized memory unless something else was
initializing all the fields explicitly to something.
To be on the safe side, we also allocate metas without init function to all
zeroes now as it was relatively common.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764902

Checking the current element's state when we're adding pads to
the parent element is checking the wrong thing.
Silences a 'attempting to add an inactive pad to a running element'
warning when adding a ghost pad to a running parent bin of the parent
bin of the element.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764176
This is a useful function to automatically add ghost pads when linking
two elements across bin boundaries without know their exact parentage.
e.g. when using gst_parse_bin_from_description (with or without it ghosting pads),
one can simply retreive the src/sink pads from the bin to link to another pad.
Similar functionality is provided by gst_element_link_pads{_full}() however only
by pad name rather than by actual pads.
API: gst_pad_link_maybe_ghosting_full
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764176
Updated the GST_REFCOUNTING logging so that it includes the pointer
address of the object that is being disposed or finalized.
With this change is is then possible to match up GST_REFCOUNTING log messages
for object allocation/disposal/finalization. This can help with diagnosing
"memory leaks" in applications that have not correctly disposed of all the
GStreamer objects it creates.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749427
It returned TRUE when regression failed, while not setting any of the out
parameters. This caused uninitialized data from the stack to be used for
setting the clock calibration.
PUSH and PULL mode have opposite scenarios for IDLE and BLOCK
probes.
For PUSH it will BLOCK with some data type and IDLE won't have a type.
For PULL it will BLOCK before getting some data and will be IDLE when
some data is obtained.
The check in hook_marshall was specific for PUSH mode and would cause
PULL probes to fail to be called. Adding different checks for the mode
to fix this issue.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761211
We want to use the flag/enum nicks here, not only because they
are shorter but also because in case of element-specific enums
and flags we abuse the enum/flag name field for the description,
and we don't want that printed in the dot file.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763814
Make compiler issue a warning for common beginner mistakes such as:
...
gst_buffer_make_writable (buf);
gst_buffer_map (buf, &map, GST_MAP_WRITE);
...
and similar. Only do this for some functions for now.
Don't keep the registry locked whilst iterating over the plugins
or features with a filter function. This would deadlock if the
callback tried to access the registry from the function. Instead,
make a copy of the feature/plugin list and then filter it without
holding the registry lock. This is still considerably faster than
the alternative which would be to use a GstIterator.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756738
By default, gst_parse_launch_full() creates a GstPipeline if there's more
than one toplevel element. Add a flag to let it use a GstBin instead.
Also fix the parser to let it use this flag for GST_TYPE_ELEMENT property
values, to avoid having GstPipelines inside other GstPipelines.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763457
When going from READY to NULL all element pads are deactivated. If
simultaneously the pad is being removed from the element with
gst_element_remove_pad() and the pad is unparented, there is a race
where the deactivation will assert (g_critical) if the parent is lost at
the wrong time.
The proposed fix will check parent only once and retain it to avoid the
race.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761912
First load all system presets, then all from the environment variable, then
from the app directory, then from the user directory. Any one in the chain
with the highest version completely replaces all previous ones, later ones
with lower versions are merged in without replacing existing presets.
This is basically the same behaviour as before, just that GST_PRESET_PATH is
inserted as another source of directories between the system and app presets.
It was added in ca08af1f17, but was
accidentially overriding the user preset path there. Which caused inconsistent
behaviour as new presets were still stored in the system path, just not loaded
from there. Meaning you could store a new preset (in the user path), just for
GstPreset to not find it anymore later (because it only looked in the
GST_PRESET_PATH instead of the user path).
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764034
The alias define GST_TYPE_PARENT_BUFFER_META_API_TYPE is wrong and
breaks the usage of gst_buffer_get_parent_buffer_meta().
This patch fixes the GType alias and make another alias to keep the API
compatibility guarded by GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED.
Also added a unit test.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763112
gst_structure_new_empty() is not returning NULL in any valid scenarios,
checking for NULL here is useless. Especially because we would dereference any
NULL right after the NULL check again.
CID 1352037.
We previously check if the string ends on .class, as such strrchr() should
return something non-NULL. Add an assertion for that.
CID 1349642.
Pretty much every single element does
gst_element_class_add_pad_template (element_class,
gst_static_pad_template_get (&some_templ));
which is both confusing and unnecessary. We might just
as well add a function to do that in one step.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762778
When holding a regular ref it will cause the GstBus to never
reach 0 references and it won't be destroyed unless the application
explicitly calls gst_bus_remove_signal_watch().
Switching to weakref will allow the GstBus to be destroyed.
The application is still responsible for destroying the
GSource.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762552
This reverts commit b427997119.
It breaks things that used to work before, even if the change by itself is
correct and the previous code is just working around deeper bugs in the async
state change code. Let's go back to what previously worked and then fix async
state changes in general.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760532
When calling gst_pad_activate_mode() on a ghostpad
gst_ghost_pad_activate_push_default() will be called. This will call
gst_pad_activate_mode() on the proxypad (which is internal of the
ghostpad), calling gst_ghost_pad_internal_activate_push_default(), which
again will call gst_pad_activate_mode() on the original ghostpad.
By simply returning TRUE in
gst_ghost_pad_internal_activate_push_default() the redundant call to
gst_pad_activate_mode() (for the same pad) is avoided.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761913
When allocating a new buffer in the pool, both the do_alloc_buffer() and the
vmethod, alloc_buffer(), receive the parameter GstBufferPoolAcquireParams.
Nonetheless, when default_acquire_buffer() calls the do_alloc_buffer() it does
not pass the received GstBufferPoolAcquireParams, so when the user pass those
parameters they are ignored by alloc_buffer() vmethod.
This one-liner patch pass the received acquire params to do_alloc_buffer().
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761824
Fixes a race where an entry is set to BUSY in
gst_system_clock_id_wait_jitter() and is UNSCHEDULED before
gst_system_clock_id_wait_jitter_unlocked() starts processing it. The
wakeup added by gst_system_clock_id_unschedule() must be cleaned up.
Two stress tests are added. One test that triggers the specific issue
described above. The second stresses the code path where a wait is
rescheduled because the poll returned early.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761586
If the clockentry is too late and is unscheduled before it gets
a change to detect its lateness the wakeup count and the poll are
used but never properly cleaned up. This leaves it in a dirty state
that is going to mess with the next clock entry waiting requests.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=761586
Change the gst_tracer_record_new() api to take the parameters the make the
spec structure directly. This allows us to own the top-level structure and
also collect the args so that we can take ownership of the sub-structures.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760821
We're comparing a pointer type with '\0' here, which
probably isn't right, and the loop condition made sure
that classes[0] is != NULL already, so it's pointless.
Was probaby meant to check if the string pointed to is
not empty, so make it do that instead.
When choosing the first entry from the list, gst_system_clock_async_thread
must set the entry state to busy before releasing the clock lock. Otherwise
a new entry could be added to the beginning of the list and
gst_system_clock_async_thread will be unaware and keep waiting on the entry
it has already chosen.
Also improved messages about expected state and bumped them to ERROR level
to detect unexpected state changes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760757
self->spec is got using g_value_get_boxed(), which is a transfer none function.
So the same should not be freed, which is resulting in wrong behavior.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760821
GstTracerValueFlags is not being initialized and the same could result in wrong
comparision and behavior. Hence initializing it to GST_TRACER_VALUE_FLAGS_NONE.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760821
Only hide GstTracer and GstTracerRecord API behind GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API,
but don't spew any warnings, otherwise everyone has to define this
to avoid compiler warnings.
This reverts parts of commit 89ee5d948d.
We use this class to register tracer log entry metadata and build a log
template. With the log template we can serialize log data very efficiently.
This also simplifies the logging code, since that is now a simple varargs
function that is not exposing the implementation details.
Add docs for the new class and basic tests.
Remove the previous log handler.
Fixes#760267
If no providers for a particular class could be found, then removing unmatched
filters would cause all devices to be returned instead which is not at all what
the user intended. We still return 0 for unmatched filters.
Other gst libraries and/or elements may want to add some debug logging to an

GstControlSourceGetValue() value paramater is a gdouble, not a GValue

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758668
Previously we used the latter one still for the tracer utility code, causing
undefined references in the resulting binary if the debugging system was
disabled but the tracer system not.
It's used by the debugging and tracer subsystem and in various files, make it
a central thing that is initialized independ of the existence of those
subsystems.
The parse-launch API automagically handles dynamic pads and performs delayed
linking as needed, without any feedback about whether the linking succeeded or
not however. If a delayed dynamic link can't be completed for whatever reason,
parse-launch will simply wait in case a suitable pad appears later. This may
never happen though, in which case the pipeline may just hang forever.
Try to improve this by connecting to the "no-more-pads" signal of any element
with dynamic pads and posting a warning message for the related outstanding
dynamic links when "no-more-pads" is emitted.
Fixes#760003
'gst_element_post_message' takes the ownership of the message, so it

This lock seems to exist only to prevent elements from changing states while
events are being processed. However events are going to be processed
nonetheless in those elements if sent directly via pads, so protection must
already be implemented inside the elements for event handling if it is needed.
As such having the lock here is not very useful and is actually causing
various deadlocks in different situations as described in
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744040
Otherwise each bin might have a different latency in the end, causing
synchronization problems.
The bin will still first handle latency internally as before, but gives the
overall pipeline the opportunity to update the latency of the whole pipeline
afterwards.

The pad could be activated but flushing because of a FLUSH_START event. That's

This is useful for feature that are produced after probing a specific

In plugin is responsible for calculating a hash of the dependencies
in order to determine if the cache should be invalidated or not.
Currently, the hash combining method removes a bit of the original
have before combining with an addition. As we use 32bits for our hash
and shift 1 bit for each file and directory, that resulting hash only
account for the last 32 files. And is more affected by the last file.
Rotating technique (shifting, and adding back the ending bit), can be
use to make the addition non-commutative. In a way that different order
gives different hashes. In this case, I don't preserve this behaviour
because the order in which the files are provided by the OS is
irrelevant.
In most cases, the XOR operation is used to combine hashes. In this
code we use the addition. I decided to preserve the addition because
we make use of non-random hash ((guint) -1) in the algorithm for
matching files that are not really part of the hash (symlinks, special
files). Doing successive XOR on this value, will simply switch from
full ones, to full zero. The XOR used with whitelist has been preserved
as it's based on a fairly randomized hash (g_str_hash).

Helps catching when a state change is starting and ending.
It is also possible to track the end of state changes by checking the
async-done or state-change messages.
This is particularly important for elements that do async state changes.
Validate that the proxy pad indeed accepts the caps by also
comparing with the pad template caps, otherwise when the pad
had no internally linked pads it would always return true.
