If a task thread is calling pause on it self and the
controlling/"main" thread stops the task, it could end in a race
where gst_task_func loops and then checks for paused after the
controlling thread just changed the task state to stopped.
Hence the task would actually call func again even though it was
both paused and stopped.

They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We can't change most of
these in 0.10 because they're part of our API and ABI.
prctl is supposed to take 5 arguments. It used to work with 2 arguments on some
versions of libc because it is defined as a varags function there.
See #611911
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.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611692
This avoids:
* triple-checking for the GType when type-checking is enabled (see #597260)
* Avoids going through an expensive no-argument checking which landed in
glib-2.22
* Avoids going through 2 extrac functions (g_object_new -> g_object_new_valist)
There's not much point in using GST_DEBUG_FUNCPTR with GObject
virtual functions such as get_property, set_propery, finalize and
dispose, since they'll never be used by anyone anyway. Saves a
few bytes and possibly a tenth of a polar bear.
GstTaks does not always unref the taskpool it was created from because it
depends on when the pool provided an ID for joining the task.
Rework some code so that we always unref the pool and optionally join when the
pool provided an id.
Fixes#589127
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.
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.
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
