Adding a buffer to the end of a GstBufferList is supposed to be a fast
operation, but it was not since the iterator does not advance its
nextpointer when adding buffers and GList does not have a tail pointer.
Using a GQueue to store the buffers makes it easier to add buffers to
the end of the list and this operation will now be much more efficient.
Adding an entire GList of buffers using
gst_buffer_list_iterator_add_list() will however have to iterate over
the list being added to be able to update the tail pointer in the
GQueue.
GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED should only affect visibility of declarations in headers,
not actually remove symbols. See GitDeveloperGuidelines and DeprecatingAPI
pages in wiki.

Add function that (unlike the GLib equivalent) also accepts paths that
aren't absolute and will clean up relative markers such as ./ and ../
before forming a URI.
Fixes warnings with e.g. filesrc location=foo ! typefind caused by the
recent switch to g_filename_to_uri(), but also actually creates valid
URIs for the first time.
Windows code paths could need some more work, e.g. we don't clean up
the relative markers there for now (because path could have \ and /
as separators).

This was required to add a new MEDIA4 buffer flag for indicating
progressive/mixed telecine video buffers. There is no space for

This commit changes the request pad behaviour for plugins and applications.
Reopens Bug #402562
The proper fix for that bug is to keep track of created request pads.
This reverts commit a5e44ffffa.
Use new GstPoll functionality to wakeup the mainloop.
Use an atomic queue on the writer side to post the messages.
The reader side it protected with the lock still because we don't want multiple
concurrent readers.
Add an atomic queue. The queue can be used from multiple threads simultaneously
and without taking any locks or doing any blocking operations. This makes it
highly scalable for things like the bus, bufferpools and object recycling.
We need to ensure we call gst_pad_check_link() with the two pads in the correct
order. The order depends on wheter we iterate src or sink pads.
Signed-off-by: Chen Rui <rui.chen@tieto.com>
Check the sinkpad for the flushing state before calling the chainfunction on the
pad. We do this by checking the cache (which is also cleared on the srcpad when
the sink is set to flushing).
Fixes#641928
Failing to do so in the Windows case (implicitly triggered otherwise)
would have a subsequent _wait return immediately leading to high CPU
usage timeout loops.
Fixes#640675.
Make adding/removing gst_debug_log_default() work reliably in all
circumstances. The problem was that depending on platform and linker
flags the function argument might resolve to different addresses,
which made it impossible to remove the default log function added
in gst_init() from application code (because the pointer values
didn't match). The new approach should keep things simple by passing
NULL for the default function, which the code in libgstreamer can
then handle.

The description string was changed to an inlined string a while back.

Only replace existing plugins by blacklisted ones if they correspond

Ignore plugins which have been moved into coreelements, so it's
still possible to just upgrade GStreamer core without having to
upgrade the whole stack.
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.
Avoid unnecessary malloc/free to get the file basename on MSVC to avoid
unnecessary overhead when doing GST_DEBUG=foo:5 or so (since it would be
done before the category log level filtering).
The new request_new_pad_full vmethod provides an additional caps field,
which allows elements to take better decision process.
Also, add a gst_element_request_pad() function to allow developers to be
able to specify which pad template they want a pad of.
Convert gstutils to use that new method instead of the old one when more
efficient.
This is useful for being able to request pads in a more flexible way,
especially when the element can provide pads whose caps depend on
runtime configuration and therefore can't provide pre-registered
pad templates.

The -Bsymbolic change causes us to get a different address when internaly
looking up the function than what application would get when the use the symbol
that they see. This made removing the default loghandler to fail, as it is set
internally and removed externaly.
All functions in this file can access the structure field of a query directly.
This avoids having to call gst_query_get_structure() to get it, along with being

All functions in this file can access the structure field of an event directly.
This avoids having to call gst_query_get_structure() to get it, along with being
able to remove some function variables that were used to store the result of that

There is no need to cache the peer chainfunction as we can just as efficiently
get to it from the peer object. Also not caching the chain function works better
because then we automatically get the new chainfunctions when they change.
Build the cache while we push data. When we don't have a cache, we run the
slowpath and collect cacheable properties. When all conditions are met, keep the
cached data around so that we can more efficiently push data around.
Fix returning of timezones on systems with gdatetime
to use floats on the math expression to avoid
truncating the fractional part.
Also adds a test for covering this case.
Otherwise the source will stay at NULL, the event is passed to the
peerpad via gst_pad_send_event() and then the peerpad is set as
source of the event instead of the originating pad.
This change always defines the restrict keyword if a
non-C99 C compiler is used. In the case of GCC >= 4
it will be defined to __restrict__, in all other
cases to nothing. This allows to use the restrict
keyword unconditionally.
Adds 2 variants for the gst_date_time_from_unix_epoch function,

Basically we're not meant to put anything more complex than simple numbers,
due to the definition of G_GUINT64_CONSTANT:
G_GUINT64_CONSTANT(val) (val##UL)
Which previously resulted in .... 1 << 49UL
gst_mini_object_unref() has guards that check the type already, so
we don't really need to re-check it here again while getting the
class (there's not really much point to that anyway, since we don't
check the return value of the get_class, so we'd crash anyway if
we're not dealing with a mini object, the only question would
be if there'd be a warning before the crash or not).
Track elements tagged with the IS_SOURCE flag in a similar way we track the sink
elements. This allows us to efficiently dispatch downstream events to the right
elements.
Add minimal math-compath.h header where we can define fallback
versions for miscellaneous math functions that aren't always
available, so we don't have to duplicate this in plugins.
The header is not included by default, so needs to be
included explicitly for now.

Adds a new tag to indicate the error in horizontal positioning
in meters. This is one of the available 'gps error' fields in
exif, for example.

Add gst_is_initialized() guard to gst_element_factory_make(), so
people who forgot to call gst_init() get a useful warning for what
seems to be a common enough mistake.
Sprinkle some G_UNLIKELY(), return TRUE/FALSE constants, avoid an
unnecessary g_value_unset(), move g_value_init()+set_int64_range()
closer to where they're needed.
Don't create a new GValueArray copy for every single _add_buffering_range()
call, but append to the existing value array owned by the structure instead.
Add _set_value() variants that take ownership of the value passed
instead of making a copy of the value. This is useful for setting

strings or string arrays, etc.).

Add an option to forward all the internal messages that would otherwise be
filtered such as EOS, SEGMENT and ASYNC messages.
This allows the application to, for example, detect that a partial pipeline is
prerolled or reached eos.
The original messages are wrapped inside an element message because the parent
bins are not supposed to see those internal messages escape.
A flush-stop event would make a pad unflushing, causing it
to start acting as an activated pad. This, for example,
could lead to the chain function being called when stuff
isn't initialized.
This could happend when setting qtdemux to NULL while a seek
was being handled in the upstream filesrc (in push mode).
This patch makes it check if it is activated before setting
it to unflushing.
There's no need to create these tables with duplicates of the
untranslated error message string constants, we can just use
old-fashioned switch/case and call gettext directly. This also
makes things slightly more thread safe and more robust to bad
input (invalid error codes).
Add a GstStructure to GstElementClass and GstElementFactory. Add setters/getter.
Handle it in the registry code. Print items in gst-inspect.

And use it for the fraction comparisons in gstvalue.c instead
of using comparisons by first converting the fractions to double.
Should fix bug #628174.
API: gst_util_fraction_compare()
The problem with both macros is, that they suggest something that isn't true.
If GST_FLOW_IS_FATAL is true, there could still be a problem for many elements
and they should stop what they're currently doing and return that value
upstream (e.g. not-linked in a parser). If GST_FLOW_IS_SUCCESS is false, it
could still be that this is "ok" for the element (e.g. not-linked for a demuxer
on a few of its pads but not all).
It's better to not have these "convenience" macros but instead let people
*think* about the handling of different flow returns, that makes sense for
their element. And we should document the expected handling of flow returns for
different classes of elements in the plugin writer's guide.
Fixes bug #628014.
Adds GST_TAG_APPLICATION_DATA for representing arbitrary private
data that applications might want to store into tags. Exif/id3,

Fixes#626651
When there is a sink inside a bin, the SINK flag is set on the bin. When we are
trying to iterate the source elements, also include the bins with the SINK flag
because they could also contain source elements, in which case they are also a
source.
This solves the case where sending an EOS to a pipeline didn't get dispatched to
all source elements.
See #625597
gst_element_link_many does some magic and creates ghostpads
if needed, but it didn't set the newly created ghostpad to
active if needed. This patch fixes it.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626784
This is not really necessary here because everything is
initialized from gst_init() already but using G_DEFINE_TYPE()
removes some copy&paste boilerplate code.
In gst_element_get_compatible_pad(), when trying to find a compatible pad on an
element for a given pad, there's no point in checking the element's sink pads
if the pad to link is a sink pad as well, or the element's source pads if the
given pad is a source pad already, since those would never be able to link
anyway. Should speed up linking using the convenience functions a little bit,
or at least reduce debug log output.
The logging is not an atomic operation and because of the multi-threading we end
up with out-of-order log lines. Tools that present the log-file should probably
resort the lines. This change just takes the timestamp a bit closer to the
actual logging.
gst_pad_proxy_getcaps() would return the pad template caps if the other side
returned empty caps or if the intersection of all the caps on the other side
was empty.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624203
g_printerr() used to do this for us. Also use libc's fprintf() functions,
to make sure the stderr pointer we use is actually compatible with the
libc linked against by GStreamer (which apparently may not always be the
same as what GLib is linked against on windows), and we don't need the
functionality ensured by g_fprintf().
Fixes#625295.
This is a string describing a date and/or date/time in a simple subset of
the ISO-8601 format, namely either "YYYY-MM-DD" or "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MMZ" (with
'T' the date/time separator and the 'Z' indicating UTC).
The main purpose of this field is to keep track of plugin and element versions
on an absolute timeline, so it's possible to determine which one is newer when
comparing two date time numbers. This will allow us to express 'replaces'-type
relationships betweeen plugins and element factories in future, even across
different modules and plugin merges or splits (source module version numbers
aren't particularly useful here, since they can only meaningfully be compared
within the same module). It also allows applications and libraries to reliably
check that a plugin is recent enough without making assumptions about modules
or module versions.
We use a string here to keep things simple and clear, esp. on the build system
side of things.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623040
This changes behaviour slightly in that we no longer output things
via g_printerr(), so any non-standard glib printerr handlers are no
longer called when GST_DEBUG is enabled. However, this seems not
really desirable in most cases anyway, and the GLib docs also say
that libraries should not use g_printerr() for logging.
Other stderr output (e.g. warnings, or application messages) will
of course not be captured in the log file this way.
GST_DEBUG_FILE=- will redirect debug output to stdout.
This is the same behaviour as if we had a pad template caps of
GST_CAPS_ANY on any of the pads (i.e. the actual check will be done
during caps negotiation).
Instead just check that the caps intersect with the pad template.
The elements should properly accept/refuse the caps in setcaps().
Shaves off calling the default implementation of acceptcaps which does
an expensive gst_pad_get_caps() (so if you have 50 of those elements in
a row, you'd be doing factorial(50) gst_pad_get_caps...).
Does not break any module unit test and most apps work fine.

Make sure clock->clockid is unreffed before clock->master.
gst_clock_id_unschedule (clock->clockid) tries to access clock->master. If
clock->master is unreffed before and it's deallocated, _unschedule could access
free'd memory.
They are actually *not* const functions because on architectures
without int128 instructions the parameters were changed.
gcc re-used the parameters on the stack for multiple calls though
and the changed parameters were used for the second call then.
Fixes bug #623003.
Add a minimal gst_xml_get_type() function, so that gobject-introspection doesn't
break the compilation if we're compiling with GST_REMOVE_DEPRECATED defined or
--disable-loadsave having been passed to configure. Until someone figures out
a better way at least.
Since everything GstXML related has been deprecated, we can now skip the
libxml includes from the public headers when GST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED is
defined.
See #463435.
Pipeline serialisation to and from XML is horribly broken for all
but the most simple use cases, and will likely never be fixed.
Make sure everyone playing around with these tools is aware of
this, to avoid frustration. See countless bug reports in bugzilla.
Fixes bug #622685.
This feature is primarily intended for use in plugin modules' unit tests.
Consider the following situation: gst-plugins-good is built against an
installed GStreamer core. An older version of gst-plugins-good is also
installed in that prefix, along with random other plugin modules. Now,
when doing 'make check' in the just-built gst-plugins-good tree, we
want to only load plugins from GStreamer core, gst-plugins-base, and
gst-plugins-good, but not random other modules (we don't want any unit
tests to fail just because some module in gst-plugins-bad has a broken
plugin_init, for example). Also, we want to only load gst-plugins-good
modules from the locally-built source tree, but not any of the older
gst-plugins-good modules installed. This is usually assured by loading
the ones in the source tree first (by adding that path first to the
right environment variables), but it gets tricky when plugins are
moved, removed, merged, or renamed, or the plugin filename changes.
Note that 'make check' should really work right without doing
'make install' or uninstalling the old gst-plugins-good package (or
any other gst-plugins-foo package) first.
Enter GST_PLUGIN_LOADING_WHITELIST. This environment variable may
contain source-package@path-prefix pairs separated by the platform
search path separator (G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S). The source package
and path prefix are separated by the '@' character. The path prefix is
entirely optional, as is the '@' separator if no path is given.
It is also possible to filter based on plugin names instead of the name
of the source-package by specifying one or more plugin names separated
by commas before the optional path prefix.
In short, the following match patterns are possible:
plugin1,plugin2@pathprefix or
plugin1,plugin2@* or just
plugin1,plugin2 or
source-package@pathprefix or
source-package@* or just
source-package
So for our gst-plugins-good unit test example above, we would set the
environment variable on *nix to something like this (will likely be a
relative path in practice):
gstreamer:gst-plugins-base:gst-plugins-good@/path/to/src/gst-plugins-good
