This reverts commit f864187bf5.
Reverting this as it changes behaviour and the documentation is
ambiguous about whether the caller must check the type first or
not (call must check type vs. returns NULL if not a string). If
GLib has been compiled with G_DISABLE_CHECKS then g_value_get_string()
may return complete garbage even if the value does not contain
a string. Better play it safe, esp. since the extra check is just
an integer comparison. For fundamental types we could return values
from the GValue structure directly if we really wanted to bypass
the extra check.
For now, don't show a g_warning() for empty tag strings and NULL
tags with non-git versions; we should wait for the fixes in our
plugin modules to make it into a release before we enable this
unconditionally.
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.

Fix some memory leaks shown by the new serialisation/deserialisation unit
test. Split the gst_string_wrap function in gstvalue.c into components and
use them to make gst_string_take_and_wrap, which takes ownership of the
string, avoiding a strdup.
Add some G_LIKELY/UNLIKELY, and clean up some leaks in error paths.
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.
Fixes minor memory leak in unit tests caused by the recent changes.
Since we're expected to take ownership of the GValue in the structure
field struct here, we need to unset it if we don't use it.
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.

Callgrind micro optimisations.
Avoid array bounds checks and force inline of trivial function.
* gst/gstobject.c: (gst_object_set_name_default):
-1 is equivalent to letting glib to the strlen but then there is more
room for optimisations and it's not our fault.
* gst/gststructure.c: (gst_structure_id_empty_new_with_size):
no need to clear the array, we're cool.
* gst/gstvalue.c: (gst_type_is_fixed), (gst_value_is_fixed):
The most common _is_fixed() check is done on fundamental glib base
types so we check this first instead of doing a huge amount of
useless GST_TYPE_ARRAY calls.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gststructure.c: (gst_structure_id_empty_new_with_size):
No need to memset, we can clear the value ourselves.
* gst/gstvalue.c: (gst_type_is_fixed),
(gst_value_get_compare_func):
Some optimisations from a few callgrind sessions:
When checking if a type is fixed, check for trivial fundamental types
first before checking types for which we need to get the type followed
by the heavy duty type checks, this reduces the amount of
g_type_fundamental() calls a lot.
When getting the compare function, first check for our registered types.
If that fails, do the heavy duty g_type_is_a() checks, reduces the
amount of g_type_is_a() considerably.

Avoid overflows in fixation code when dealing with MAXINT values, which

Yet another gratuitous GString micro-optimisation: add a (private)
function that serialises a structure appending to an existing
GString, so that when we serialise caps we don't need to alloc+free
a throwaway GString for each structure (each of which also entailing
multiple reallocs on the way); also use g_string_sized_new() in
various places with an approximate string length to avoid reallocs
within GString. See #500143.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gststructure.c: (gst_structure_id_set_value):
Always check UTF-8 conformance of structure strings and not only
if the debugging system is enabled; reasoning: the behaviour of
the actual code shouldn't really change depending on whether the
debugging system is enabled or not (#508291).

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),

Add unit test for the crash; update unit tests for new behaviour.

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.

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.

not change/add that field to the structure.
