Update the design docs with some clear rules for how sticky events are
handled.
Reimplement the sticky tags, use a small structure to hold the event and its
current state (active or inactive).
Events on sinkpads only become active when the event function returned success
for the event.
When linking, only update events that are different.
Avoid making a copy of the event array, use the object lock to protect the event
array and release it only to call the event function. This will need to check
if something changed, later.
Disable a test in the unit test, it can't work yet.
gst_pad_template_get_caps(), gst_pad_get_pad_template_caps()
and gst_pad_get_pad_template() return a new reference of the
caps or template now and the return value needs to be
unreffed after usage.
This reverts commit cf4fbc005c.
This change did not improve the situation for bindings because
queries are usually created, then directly passed to a function
and not stored elsewhere, and the writability problem with
miniobjects usually happens with buffers or caps instead.
Resetting the result is not necessary when resyncing because
pads that previously got the event will be skipped and we
need to consider the results of the previous pushes.
Fix replace of caps events when linking: we need to unref the old ones.
Make sure we pass error values around.
Move backward compat code into the default handler for now.
Don't use the buffer caps for negotiation anymore but use the CAPS events.
Make the _set_caps method produce the CAPS event, add some backward
compatibility code to trigger the setcaps functions on src and sinkpads.
Remove all negotiation code from the chain functions.
Don't use the GST_PAD_CAPS variable anymore to store the caps but retrieve the
caps from the sticky event array.
Remove the context again, adding an extra layer of refcounting and object
creation to manage an array is too complicated and inefficient. Use a simple
array again.
Also implement event updates when calling gst_pad_chain() and
gst_event_send_event() directly.
Pass the context downstream when it got updated.
Have two ways of informing downstream of events, do a full context update when
the CONTEXT_PENDING flag is set and simply forward the event otherwise.
Set the CONTENT_PENDING flag when linking pads.
We don't need to old context anymore when updating the context of a pad.
If there is no custom getcaps function on a sink pad, then changes in
downstream caps will never be propagated, so there is no point in trying to
renegotiate the capabilities.
This reverts commit 9ef1346b1f.
Way to much for one commit and I'm not sure we want to get rid of the pad caps
just like that. It's nice to have the buffer and its type in onw nice bundle
without having to drag the complete context with it.
Resetting the result is not necessary when resyncing because
pads that previously got the event will be skipped and we
need to consider the results of the previous pushes.
Copy the sticky events from the srcpad to the sinkpad when linking pads. Set the
STICKY_PENDING flag to make sure that the sticky events are dispatched before
pushing the next buffer to the element.
Add the sticky flag to events and a sticky index.
Keep sticky events in an array on each pad.
Remove GST_EVENT_SRC(), it is causing refcycles with sticky events, was not used
and is not very interesting anyway.
Remove pad_alloc and all references. This can now be done more efficiently and
more flexible with the ALLOCATION query and the bufferpool objects. There is no
reverse negotiation yet but that will be done with an event later.
As GST_SCHEDULING reports when buffers pass through pads due to
gst_pad_push calls, they are a good way of tracking the progress of
buffers through pipelines. As such, adding output of the buffer pointers
to these messages allows tracking of specific buffers, easing debugging.
