Add a new macro GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET to get a log category by name. This
allows plugins to use e.g. core categories like PERFORMANCE or CLOCK.
API: GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET
This makes the generated code faster since:
* It won't have to read an undirect value (which will most likely be
outside of the L1/L2 cache)
* We know that value never changes (the compiler has no clue that it doesn't).
It is not too obvious that getting and releasing request pads is not entierly
symetrical regarding to the pad refcount. Add a note about that to the docs.
This might deserve a FIXME-0.11 too.
Just in case someone who clearly can't be deterred by any number of leading
underscores uses this very private but still somewhat documented symbol
directly in their code (*cough* qtdemux *cough*).
Add new method to iterate a bufferlist without having to allocate an iterator.
Add convenience method for getting an item from the list based on the group and
index.
Remove redundant _do_data callback and method.
Update unit-tests and add some more for the new methods.
Add functions to create a new tag list and set tags in one go, which
is nice for use in combination with functions that take ownership of
the taglist, such as gst_event_new_tag() or gst_element_found_tags().
API: add gst_tag_list_new_full()
API: add gst_tag_list_new_full_valist()
Update design doc with step-start docs.
Add eos field to step done message
when stepping in reverse, update the segment time field.
Flush out the current step when we are flushing.
Small micro-optimisation: look up value table for fundamental types
via an array dedicated to fundamental types instead of going through
a hash table lookup. Since there can be only 255 fundamental types,
the table size/efficiency trade-off should be acceptable, esp. since
the most commonly-used types are all fundamental types. The size of
the table could probably be minimised further if needed by allocating
the table dynamically and only expanding it on demand.
GTypes are not ints and as such are not guaranteed to fit into an int
(with the exception of fundamental types), so we really shouldn't put
them into int variables. Even if a rather unlikely obscure corner case,
this has actually been a problem at some point in the past, see commit
99f16655f4.
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()

Don't dump hundreds of kB of hexdata into debug logs when converting
taglists containing huge images into a string. Instead, shorten the
buffer data so that the string is still readable and debug logs
stay managable. Can be turned off with GST_DEBUG_OPTIONS=full-tags.
See #584988.
The first time one calls gst_element_factory_make(), gst recreates the plugin
feature and the element factory. As a side effect we ref the class to fill
in detail we already have filled from the registry cache. This patch changes
the behaviour to just update the existing entries. The factory is now attached
to the type and set in gst_element_base_class_init().
Add a GType->GstValueTable hashtable mapping.
Avoid _get_type() multiple times when we can.
Use GSlice for fraction range dynamic memory
Add G_LIKELY when we can
Improve lookup of the value table using the hashtable
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.
Reword this message a bit to make it clearer what it means, namely that
the state change may have failed for good reasons, but that the element
just failed to post a proper error on the bus. This is not an internal
GStreamer bug, and we really don't need people to flood bugzilla with
bug reports if one such plugin bug ever makes it into the wild.
Add gst_segment_to_position() that converts a running_time to a position in the
segment. A faulty variant of this function is currently used in inputselector
but we'll need it for frame stepping too.
API: GstSegment::gst_segment_to_position()
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.
Update framestep document, we want to pass the flush flag in the step-done
message.
Add flush flag to the gstmessage.
Update examples to use the new step-done message api.
Implement framestep with playback rates < 0.0 too.
Add new STEP event and methods for creating/parsing the event
Update design docs.
Add new STEP_DONE message and method to create/parse.
API: GstEvent::gst_event_new_step()
API: GstEvent::gst_event_parse_step()
API: GstMessage::gst_message_new_step_done()
API: GstMessage::gst_message_parse_step_done()
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.
Make gst_tag_list_get_string() return FALSE for NULL strings and
empty strings, and gst_tag_list_get_pointer() return FALSE for
NULL pointers, like we do with dates and buffers.
Fixes#560345.
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.
Use gst_structure_id_empty_new() in combination with GST_QUARK
rather than gst_structure_id_new() when creating message, event,
query and taglist structures. Mostly just because we can.
Use the element START_TIME to keep track of the running time when the pipeline
paused so that it can be used to restore the base_time.
Take the start_time before setting the children to PAUSED so that we can
distribute the start_time to the children.
Add a start_time field and some methods. The start_time will contain the
running_time of when the element last went to paused. This time can be user to
report the position in PAUSED but also to do more correct clipping and
stepping later.
This reverts commit bebfde7502.
This change shouldn't be done in a stable release series as
applications are actually expecting the sender to be an
GstElement. One example is totem.
Unset the running flag after we released the lock for posting the stream-status
message. If we set the running flag to FALSE too early, the join method will
just continue without waiting for the message to be posted, leading to potential
crashes.
When writing a cache chunk fails, we were freeing the node and jump to a final
cleanup which dereferenced a null pointer. Leve freeing the node to the cleanup
code in fail_free_list. (sorry for committing wrong fix before).

Move MT safety to main description (it does not belong to Return: or Since:
statement). Add a few missing return docs. Downgrade a normal comment froma doc
comment. Fix a doc header to only contain symbol name.
The padding of GstClock is a GstClockTime and not a
gpointer, so adding a pointer requires the padding
size to be changed depending on the pointer size.
Use an union instead.
Fixes bug #582878.
Add a gst_element_lost_state_full() with an extra argument to control
distribution of a new base_time. We will need this for flushing step
operations.
API: GstElement::gst_element_lost_state_full()
dot does not take the head/tail labels into account. For unfixed caps they get
quite large. Double the padding to make it sort of readable in more cases. Also
make normal font bigger and caps-label font smaller to increase our luck.
Possibly fixes GObject class creation/unref race conditions when
creating the last-message string in fakesink for events with
structures that have fields with these enum types.
If deserializing a property fails, check if the value type is a string and if so
attempt to create a bin from the string value. This allows to e.g. specify
audio-sink/video-sink for playbin on gst-launch commandline.
Reuse buffer code for bufferlists. Not sure if this measurably impacts performance
for the simple buffer case, if it does after doing some benchmarks, we can
decouple it later.
Fixes#572285
Buffer lists are a means to manage disjoint buffers as one buffer. It's also
possible to put many of those buffers into a list.
The idea is that when support is added to various elements, we will be able to
more efficiently slice and dice buffers, reduce the amount of memcpy and also
reduce data passing overhead.
The implementation is kept simple on purpose, reusing all of the memory
management features we have for miniobjects and buffers.
Access to the bufferlist object is done with an iterator, which allows for
efficient iteration and modification of the list.
See #572285
When an element lost its state but was busy doing a state change, still post the
async-start message with the base_time reset flag or else we might end up with
an old base_time.
this can happen when a sink is goin async to paused and then a flushing seek is
performed. This would cause the base_time to remain unmodified because the
async-start message was not sent.
Remove the static function set on the TaskPool before _prepare() is called and
allow for assigning a function to a Task when we _push().
Update the examples
Post a stream-status message indicating that a new task was created so that the
application has a chance to change the properties of the task.
Fix unit test to take into account the new ref of the message.
Call the leave_thread callback before we signal the thread performing the _join
so that we can be sure that the listener still has valid info in the callback.
