Always forward all events in the default handler. Previously it used to not
forward caps events by default. It makes more sense to forward the caps events,
if the element is interested in the caps, it will implement an event handler to
retrieve the caps and then it can decide to forward or not. If the element has
no event handler, it probably just doesn't care about caps and it probably is
also not going to modify the data in a way that needs a caps change.
Move the flag to indicate that a new_base_time should be distributed to the
pipeline, from the async_start to the async_done message. This would allow us to
decide when to reset the pipeline time based on other reasons than the
FLUSH_START event.
The main goal eventually is to make the FLUSH events not reset time at all but
reset the time based on the first buffer or segment that prerolls the pipeline
again.
Require the memory implementations to implement a share operation. This allows
us to remove the fallback share implementation which uses a different allocator
implementation and complicates things too much.
Update design doc a bit.
Make the fallback copy use the same memory allocator as the original object.
Improve some docs.
Require an alloc function when registering an allocator.
Remove gst_memory_allocator_get_default() and merge the feature in
gst_memory_allocator_find()
Fix locks on the hashtable.
Remove defined but not-implemented gst_memory_span() method.
Rename the GstMemoryImpl to GstMemoryAllocator because that's really what it is.
Add an alloc vmethod to the allocator members.
Improve registration of allocators.
Add methods to get and set the default allocator
Always use an allocator to allocate memory, use the default allocator when NULL
is passed.
Add user_data to the allocator Info so that we can pass extra info to the
allocator new method.
Rename gst_pad_dispatcher() to gst_pad_forward() and make it more useful by
iterating the internal links of a pad and handling resync properly.
Add a method gst_pad_event_forward() that unconditionally forwards an event to
all internally linked pads.
Update some pad code to use the new forward function.
See #651514 for details. It's apparently impossible to write code
that avoids both type punning warnings with old g_atomic headers and
assertions in the new. Thus, macros and a version check.
The most common case is to not specify any flags when doing the allocation. Make
the allocation from a pool with a maximum amount of buffers block by default for
this reason.
Optimize linking by only releasing the pad locks when there are link functions
installed on the pads.
Add some G_LIKELY here and there.
Move error paths out of the main code flow.
