GstFlagSet is a new type designed for negotiating sets
of boolean capabilities flags, consisting of a 32-bit
flags bitfield and 32-bit mask field. The mask field
indicates which of the flags bits an element needs to have
as specific values, and which it doesn't care about.
This allows efficient negotiation of arrays of boolean
capabilities.
The standard serialisation format is FLAGS:MASK, with
flags and mask fields expressed in hexadecimal, however
GstFlagSet has a gst_register_flagset() function, which
associates a new GstFlagSet derived type with an existing
GFlags gtype. When serializing a GstFlagSet with an
associated set of GFlags, it also serializes a human-readable
form of the flags for easier debugging.
It is possible to parse a GFlags style serialisation of a
flagset, without the hex portion on the front. ie,
+flag1/flag2/flag3+flag4, to indicate that
flag1 & flag4 must be set, and flag2/flag3 must be unset,
and any other flags are don't-care.

We introduced our own when GLib didn't want to add a GType
for GError. But now that there is one, we can use GLib's
unconditionally and remove our version.
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.

Don't forbid the empty string "" in generic structures, only in taglists.
Properly allow the NULL string by adding special cases for serialising
and deserialising it. prop1=(string)NULL is the NULL string,
prop1=(string)"NULL" is the actual string with the value "NULL"
Add a bunch of vararg getter convenience functions to complement
the vararg setter functions, and a basic unit test. Fixes#534208.
API: gst_structure_get()
API: gst_structure_id_get()
API: gst_structure_get_valist()
API: gst_structure_id_get_valist()
Use string_warp/unwrap to escape delimiters, otherwise deserialisation fails.
Also move GST_ASCII_IS_STRING to private header to avoid keeping it in sync.
Also use '\0' when terminating a string for better readability.
Also warn if an element or application tries to add a field with an
empty string to a structure (NULL strings are still needed and
allowed though) and do all those checks in the right function.
Fixes#559643.

Patch by: Olivier Crete <tester at tester dot ca>
* gst/gststructure.c:
(gst_structure_fixate_field_nearest_fraction):
Avoid overflows in fixation code when dealing with MAXINT values, which
v4l2src seems to do.
Fixes#546328.
* tests/check/gst/gststructure.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Make a unit test to check the fix.
Original commit message from CVS:
2008-03-03 Andy Wingo <wingo@pobox.com>
* tests/check/gst/gststructure.c (GST_START_TEST): Add a check for
the new warning.
* gst/gststructure.c (gst_structure_from_string): Warn if
structure_from_string didn't consume the whole string, but the
caller did not provide an end pointer.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gst.c:
_gst_trace_on is already provided by gsttrace.h, no need to declare
it ourselves.
* docs/libs/gstreamer-libs-sections.txt:
Add 'buffers', 'check_cond' and 'check_mutex' from libgstcheck
and remove strange tcase_add_test which is outputting a warning.
* libs/gst/check/gstcheck.c:
* libs/gst/check/gstcheck.h:
Properly declare 'buffers', 'check_cond', 'check_mutex' extern
and define them in gstcheck.c instead of having every .c file whcih
includes gstcheck.h be defining its own copy and relying on symbol
interposing to marry them all, which doesn't work on Solaris.
* tests/check/elements/identity.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Don't define 'buffers' locally, it comes from libgstcheck.
* tests/check/generic/sinks.c: (send_buffer):
Fix type of variable (GstFlowReturn, not GstStateChangeReturn)
* tests/check/gst/gststructure.c: (GST_START_TEST):
* tests/check/gst/gstsystemclock.c: (GST_START_TEST):
* tests/check/gst/gstutils.c: (GST_START_TEST):
* tests/check/gst/gstvalue.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Add a bunch of casts to make various constants fit the types
they're being assigned to.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gststructure.c: (gst_structure_validate_name),
(gst_structure_new_valist), (gst_structure_parse_value),
(gst_structure_from_string):
Don't crash in _from_string() if the structure name is not valid
(fixes#501560). Allow structure names to start with a number
again (this apparently broke the ubuntu codec installer).
* tests/check/gst/gststructure.c: (GST_START_TEST), (GST_START_TEST),
(GST_START_TEST):
Add unit test for the crash; update unit tests for new behaviour.
Original commit message from CVS:

Little documentation improvment.

More TODO cleanups. Remove c++ comments.
* libs/gst/controller/gstcontroller.c:
Add TODO and use quark from static string.
* tests/check/gst/gstmessage.c:
* tests/check/gst/gststructure.c:
Use quark from static string.
Original commit message from CVS:
* tests/check/gst/gststructure.c: (test_to_string):
Disable test that checks that white spaces are not allowed
in structure names or field names, since we need to
support that for now for backwards compatibility reasons.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_caps_to_string),
(gst_caps_from_string_inplace):
* gst/gststructure.c: (gst_structure_get_abbrs),

* gst/gstvalue.h:
* tests/check/gst/gststructure.c: (GST_START_TEST),
(gst_structure_suite):
* tests/check/gst/gstvalue.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Added GstStructure to gst_value_table and its related functions.
Changed gst_structure_to_string to print ';' in the end.
Changed gst_caps_to_string to not print ';' beteween its
fields (structures) anymore and remove the lastes ';' from latest
structure. Now it is possible to have nested structures.
In addition, backward compatibilty is assured by accepting '\0' as
end delimiter. Fixes: #487969.
API: add gst_value_set_structure()

difference with the target instead of the first one in the list.

(gst_structure_suite):
Added test to verify correct fraction list fixation behaviour.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gststructure.c: (gst_structure_parse_value):
When deserialising foo=bar without a type cast, check if it's a
boolean before falling back to a string type, otherwise things like
audiotestsrc ! audio/x-raw-int,signed=true ! fakesink won't work,
because the filtercaps end up having a signed=(string)true field,
which causes problems later when intersection caps.
* tests/check/gst/gststructure.c: (GST_START_TEST):
Add a unit test for this.
Original commit message from CVS:
* check/gst/gststructure.c: (GST_START_TEST):
* gst/gststructure.c: (gst_structure_parse_value):

caps/structure strings.
