This allows to add pad templates and set metadata in class_init instead of
base_init. base_init is a concept that is not supported by almost all
languages and copying the templates/metadata for subclasses is the more
intuitive way of doing things.
Subclasses can override pad templates of parent classes by adding a new
template with the same now.
Also gst_element_class_add_pad_template() now takes ownership of the
pad template, which was assumed by all code before anyway.
Fixes bug #491501.
This reverts commit f9039c2204.
We use -DG_DISABLE_ASSERTS for releases and pre-releases, but
don't want to disable pad name checking for releases in general,
I think. Need a better solution here. Fixes pad unit test in
pre-release/release mode.
Make GstObject extend from GInitiallyUnowned, remove the FLOATING flag and use
GObject methods for managing the floating ref.
Remove class lock, it was a workaround for a glib < 2.8 bug.
Remove the parent-set and parent-unset signals, attempt to implement with notify
but disabled because deadlocks in deep-notify.
gst_static_pad_template_get_caps () actually returns a reference to the
caps and it's cleaner to unref them after usage. The core will, however,
always hold a reference to the caps so this didn't result in a memory
leak.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstpadtemplate.c: Revert last change, since it breaks
a few plugins, ffmpeg, alaw, and mulaw. Code is correct,
but shouldn't be enabled until we've released fixed versions
of -good and -ffmpeg.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstpadtemplate.c:
The old behaviour was that gst_pad_template_new() takes ownership of
the caps. As we now call g_object_new() which calls g_object_set() and
which copies the caps, we have to unref them to not leak them. Fixes
make valgrid for me.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstpadtemplate.c:
(gst_pad_template_class_init), (gst_static_pad_template_get),
(gst_pad_template_new), (gst_pad_template_pad_created),
(gst_pad_template_set_property), (gst_pad_template_get_property):
Add "name-template", "direction", "presence" and "caps" properties,
so that gst_pad_template_new() is just a thin wrapper around
g_object_new(), which is better for bindings. (Fixes: #539772)
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstelement.c: (gst_element_base_class_init),
(gst_element_class_add_pad_template):
* gst/gstpadtemplate.c:
Make it possible (and recommended) to set element details and add
pad templates in the class_init functions by copying the details/pad
templates in GstElement's base_init.
Also make it possible to replace existing pad templates by adding
a new one with the same name. This was done in a hackish fashion
in same elements before already.
Don't reference pad templates that are added a second time. A
new pad template has a refcount of one and is not floating anymore
and to be owned by the element's class. Make this more explicit by
mentioning it in the docs of gst_element_class_add_pad_template().
These changes are backwards compatible. Fixes bug #491501.
* tests/check/gst/gstelement.c:
Add unit test for setting element details, adding pad templates and
replacing them in a subclass.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c:
Docs about how to print caps for debug purposes.
* gst/gstpadtemplate.c: (gst_static_pad_template_get):
use gst_caps_make_writable instead of gst_caps_copy, Fixes#340608
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_set_property):
Use g_value_get_object() instead of g_value_dup_gst_object(),
to avoid double-reffing the pad template (which we then sink,
so this worked previously if (and only if) the pad template
was floating.
* gst/gstpadtemplate.c: (gst_pad_template_init),
(gst_pad_template_pad_created):
Never return floating references to pad templates, create
them as initially-sunken.
Document an extra function (and make this stop sinking our
pad template, since that is now guaranteed to do nothing,
since we created it sunken).
* gst/gstghostpad.c:
Fix docs typo.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstcaps.c: (gst_static_caps_get_type):
* gst/gstcaps.h:
Added gpointer GType for GstStaticCaps so we can wrap them in bindings.
* gst/gstpadtemplate.c: (gst_static_pad_template_get_type):
* gst/gstpadtemplate.h:
Added gpointer GType for GstStaticPadTemplate so we can wrap them in
bindings.
