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 is useful for integration with other event loops that work by

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779344
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781914
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780903
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776293
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=780111
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

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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779755
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777449
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

This is an API break but that API has not been released yet.
We are passing a flag rather than a simple boolean as we can imagine
to implement more features in the future for example to retrieve a
stack trace for all the threads, etc..
Retrieving source file and line numbers is pretty
expensive while getting a stack trace, this new argument
allows the user to decide to retrieve a backtrace
without those infos instead which is much faster.
For example running $ GST_LEAKS_TRACER_STACK_TRACE=1 GST_DEBUG=GST_TRACER:7 \
GST_TRACERS=leaks time gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=1 ! fakesink:
* With simple stack traces:

As an usecase of URI fragment, it can indicate temporal or spatial

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.
Add unit test to ensure that.
It can be a normal execution path to do some map trials and there is

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
type when the registry is loaded, and then automatically loaded
if the type is needed during caps parsing.
This allows using non-core types in pad templates, by loading a
registry feature to create the GType on the fly.

It's useful to be able to set a name pattern for GST_DEBUG_FILE so that
the same environment variable can be used for multiple processes and
still write to different files. Especially useful if these processes
run simultaneously.
%p: Replaced with PID

%p is obviously useful. %r is useful when for instance running two
processes with same PID but in different containers.

Useful for autoplugging when we know caps or bufferpools shouldn't change

The commit was redundant since gst_gen_sources already contains
gstenum_h. We're still investigating why some people are still seeing

Earlier we were only using __declspec(dllexport/import) when we were
built with MSVC because when built with MinGW and linking with MinGW we
don't need it (and we get linker errors because of it).
However, when we're built with MinGW and someone wants to link to us
with MSVC, we still need the prototypes to have __declspec(dllimport)
since MSVC cannot do auto-import like GCC can.

When using seek_simple() in combination with other kinds of seeks, this
becomes problematic. seek_simple() does not reset the stop position to
GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE but keeps whatever a previous seek did. So for example
when doing a seek_simple() after a rate=-1 seek, we would usually get
assertions that start>stop (and stop being the old stop from the rate=1 seek).

In many parts of the code we raise streaming error when the flow
goes wrong, and each time we create more or less similare error
message. Also that message does not let the application know what

field inside the GstMessage so that the application has all the information
if it needs it.

We only use GST_EXPORT consistently when building with MSVC by using the

get the correct function prototypes to find functions and variables in
DLLs.
