Other gst libraries and/or elements may want to add some debug logging to an
external debug system or implement delayed debugging for performance reasons.
Exposes the internal __gst_vasprintf as gst_info_vasprintf which has a fallback
to g_vasprintf if the debug system is disabled.

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.
Ensure iterator is advanced. The current list iteration code only
advances the iterator (walk) if a match is found, which results
in an infinite loop when more than one entry exists in the list.

In order to support some types of protected streams (such as those
protected using DASH Common Encryption) some per-buffer information
needs to be passed between elements.
This commit adds a GstMeta type called GstProtectionMeta that allows
protection specific information to be added to a GstBuffer. An example
of its usage is qtdemux providing information to each output sample
that enables a downstream element to decrypt it.
This commit adds a utility function to select a supported protection
system from the installed Decryption elements found in the registry.
The gst_protection_select_system function that takes an array of
identifiers and searches the registry for a element of klass Decryptor that
supports one or more of the supplied identifiers. If multiple elements
are found, the one with the highest rank is selected.
This commit adds a unit test for the gst_protection_select_system
function that adds a fake Decryptor element to the registry and then
checks that it can correctly be selected by the utility function.
This commit adds a unit test for GstProtectionMeta that creates
GstProtectionMeta and adds & removes it from a buffer and performs some
simple reference count checks.

Instead of always shortening the __FILE__ path, even if the
log message is not actually printed, which might happen if
the log level is activated but the category is not, only
shorten the path if we're actually going to output it and
if it looks like it needs shortening. Log handlers had no
guarantee that they would get a name instead of a path
anyway on any architecture, so it shouldn't be a problem.

TRUE is 1, but every other non-zero value is also considered true. Comparing
for equality with TRUE would only consider 1 but not the others.
Also normalize booleans in a few places.
We're not actually doing anything differently anywhere when
we detect that we're running under valgrind, so let's not
print that confusing message that makes people wonder how
they can switch it off so they can valgrind the normal
code paths. Seeing that we're not doing that nor have done
so in the last 10 years we might just as well remove the
entire check actually.
Use user_data to pass the log_file handle to the logger-function.
If one wants to change the log target (e.g. GST_DEBUG_FILE), simply call
gst_debug_remove_log_function() and re-add the handler with the new log-target
using gst_debug_add_log_function ().
First handle all miniobjects before we attempt to dereference the first
field pointer and look at the GType. With the recent glib change to
speed up G_IS_OBJECT, this causes crashes on miniobjects otherwise.
If a category with the same name is found when creating a new
one, the found category is returned instead of an invalid pointer.
Fixes issue with gst-vaapi (which uses an internal copy of the
codec parsers) caused by commit ccba9130.

It was unintuitive that GstContext was actually a list of different
contexts. GstContext now is only a type string and a structure to
contain the actual context.
Does not do anything yet. On a sidenote, we can't just use
%p\001 or so to signal the extension because g-i complains
about an invalid ascii character then, so have to resort to
something more elaborate, such as %p\aA etc.

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.

These are meant to specify features in caps that are required
for a specific structure, for example a specific memory type
or meta.
Semantically they could be though of as an extension of the media
type name of the structures and are handled exactly like that.
This happened when glib was not using system printf, and caused the
internal gstreamer printf extensions to be used for all %p printfs,
causing crashes.

This was a FIXME for 0.11. I guess a case could be made to keep it around
separately for apps or libraries that only want to use GStreamer's debugging
system, but it seems more likely they'd just copy the two source files into
their own tree if the case. Also, things like types wouldn't be initialised
without gst_init(). We can still make it public again if anyone needs it,
but then we should make it a proper function and not hide it behind
underscores.
GstBuffer pointers can now be printed using GST_PTR_FORMAT. This is used
in the very useful GST_SCHEDULING debug logs in gstpad.c and allows for
easier and more information tracking of buffer progress through a
pipeline with just debug logging.
Improve GstSegment, rename some fields. The idea is to have the GstSegment
structure represent the timing structure of the buffers as they are generated by
the source or demuxer element.
gst_segment_set_seek() -> gst_segment_do_seek()
Rename the NEWSEGMENT event to SEGMENT.
Make parsing of the SEGMENT event into a GstSegment structure.
Pass a GstSegment structure when making a new SEGMENT event. This allows us to
pass the timing info directly to the next element. No accumulation is needed in
the receiving element, all the info is inside the element.
Remove gst_segment_set_newsegment(): This function as used to accumulate
segments received from upstream, which is now not needed anymore because the
segment event contains the complete timing information.
Hide the GstStructure of the event in the implementation specific part so that
we can change it.
Add methods to check and make the event writable.
Add a new method to get a writable GstStructure of the element.
Avoid directly accising the event structure.
Add the sticky flag to events and a sticky index.
Keep sticky events in an array on each pad.
Remove GST_EVENT_SRC(), it is causing refcycles with sticky events, was not used
and is not very interesting anyway.
Make adding/removing gst_debug_log_default() work reliably in all
circumstances. The problem was that depending on platform and linker
flags the function argument might resolve to different addresses,
which made it impossible to remove the default log function added
in gst_init() from application code (because the pointer values
didn't match). The new approach should keep things simple by passing
NULL for the default function, which the code in libgstreamer can
then handle.

Avoid unnecessary malloc/free to get the file basename on MSVC to avoid
unnecessary overhead when doing GST_DEBUG=foo:5 or so (since it would be
done before the category log level filtering).
The -Bsymbolic change causes us to get a different address when internaly
looking up the function than what application would get when the use the symbol
that they see. This made removing the default loghandler to fail, as it is set
internally and removed externaly.
The logging is not an atomic operation and because of the multi-threading we end
up with out-of-order log lines. Tools that present the log-file should probably
resort the lines. This change just takes the timestamp a bit closer to the
actual logging.
g_printerr() used to do this for us. Also use libc's fprintf() functions,
to make sure the stderr pointer we use is actually compatible with the
libc linked against by GStreamer (which apparently may not always be the
same as what GLib is linked against on windows), and we don't need the
functionality ensured by g_fprintf().
Fixes#625295.
This changes behaviour slightly in that we no longer output things
via g_printerr(), so any non-standard glib printerr handlers are no
longer called when GST_DEBUG is enabled. However, this seems not
really desirable in most cases anyway, and the GLib docs also say
that libraries should not use g_printerr() for logging.
Other stderr output (e.g. warnings, or application messages) will
of course not be captured in the log file this way.
GST_DEBUG_FILE=- will redirect debug output to stdout.
This makes it possible to easily get a *:5 debug log without all
the refcounting noise, and drastically reduces the number of lines
output for a normal log (46m to 28m for a 20min video). The full log
including refcounting information can still be gotten using *:7.
Fixes#620460.
This changes some APIs in compatible ways:
- Some functions now take "const char *" arguments, not "char *"
- Some structs now have "conts char *" members, not "char *"
The changes may cause warnings when compiling with the right warning
flags. You've been warned.
Also adds -Wwrite-strings as a warning flag in configure.ac.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611692
Adds that warning to configure.ac
Includes a tiny change of the GST_BOILERPLATE_FULL() macro:
The get_type() function is no longer declared before being defined.
