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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771029
We only use GST_EXPORT consistently when building with MSVC by using the
visual studio definitions files (win32/common/*.def), so always disable
it when building with Autotools and only enable it with Meson when
building with MSVC.
This allows you to use MinGW to link to a GStreamer built with MSVC and
get the correct function prototypes to find functions and variables in
DLLs.
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.
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.

__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.
and remove all the printf extension/specifier stuff for
the system printf. Next we need to add back the custom
specifiers to our own printf implementation.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=613081
Since everything GstXML related has been deprecated, we can now skip the
libxml includes from the public headers when GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED is
defined.
See #463435.
Force printf format checking for debug messages if GST_DISABLE_PRINTF_EXTENSION
is defined. This is useful to quickly check code for printf format mismatches
in debugging messages that would usually not be caught (with glibc+gcc and
printf extensions being used).
To use: make clean; make CFLAGS='-g -O2 -DGST_DISABLE_PRINTF_EXTENSION'

Remove GST_DISABLE_(ENUMTYPES|INDEX|URI) everywhere.
Disabling the indexers and URI handler code will only reduce the
required amount of memory by a very small amount but on the other hand
requires much more maintaince work. Apart from that many places of
code are broken when disabling them.
Disabling the enum types doesn't reduce the required amount of memory
by more than a few bytes and makes it hard to fix bugs like #539772,
i.e. use the enums as GObject properties.

Fix broken use of config.h-defined preprocessor directive in a public

really remove those function declarations from the header file now
(or can we? and why are they there in the first place?).

Add GST_USING_PRINTF_EXTENSION to gstconfig.h so that we know
whether we can use G_GNUC_PRINTF in other header files and at
least check the printf format/arguments of debug messages and
GST_ELEMENT_ERROR messages when the printf extension is not
being used.
Replace more tabs with spaces in gstinfo.h and remove two spurious
function declarations in GST_DISABLE_DEBUG part with macros.
