By passing NULL to `g_signal_new` instead of a marshaller, GLib will
actually internally optimize the signal (if the marshaller is available
in GLib itself) by also setting the valist marshaller. This makes the
signal emission a bit more performant than the regular marshalling,
which still needs to box into `GValue` and call libffi in case of a
generic marshaller.
Note that for custom marshallers, one would use
`g_signal_set_va_marshaller()` with the valist marshaller instead.
Commit 8a56a7de6d (camerabin2: preview:
Appsink doesn't need to sync) add a line that set the "sync" property on
the appsink. However, the author seems to forget that there's another
property setting on appsink a few lines below.
It's very likely that the added line is required because the original
line doesn't take effect (maybe because it's too late). But for whatever
reason, the original line is now redundant. So, I remove it in this
commit.
For each lib we build export its own API in headers when we're
building it, otherwise import the API from the headers.
This fixes linker warnings on Windows when building with MSVC.
The problem was that we had defined all GST_*_API decorators
unconditionally to GST_EXPORT. This was intentional and only
supposed to be temporary, but caused linker warnings because
we tell the linker that we want to export all symbols even
those from externall DLLs, and when the linker notices that
they were in external DLLS and not present locally it warns.
What we need to do when building each library is: export
the library's own symbols and import all other symbols. To
this end we define e.g. BUILDING_GST_FOO and then we define
the GST_FOO_API decorator either to export or to import
symbols depending on whether BUILDING_GST_FOO is set or not.
That way external users of each library API automatically
get the import.
While we're at it, add new GST_API_EXPORT in config.h and use
that for GST_*_API decorators instead of GST_EXPORT.
The right export define depends on the toolchain and whether
we're using -fvisibility=hidden or not, so it's better to set it
to the right thing directly than hard-coding a compiler whitelist
in the public header.
We put the export define into config.h instead of passing it via the
command line to the compiler because it might contain spaces and brackets
and in the autotools scenario we'd have to pass that through multiple
layers of plumbing and Makefile/shell escaping and we're just not going
to be *that* lucky.
The export define is only used if we're compiling our lib, not by external
users of the lib headers, so it's not a problem to put it into config.h
Also, this means all .c files of libs need to include config.h
to get the export marker defined, so fix up a few that didn't
include config.h.
This commit depends on a common submodule commit that makes gst-glib-gen.mak
add an #include "config.h" to generated enum/marshal .c files for the
autotools build.

We need different export decorators for the different libs.
For now no actual change though, just rename before the release,
and add prelude headers to define the new decorator to GST_EXPORT.

Highlights of the features provided are:
* Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster)
* The ability to build with MSVC on Windows
* Generate Visual Studio project files
* Generate XCode project files
* Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux)
* Seriously fast configure and building on embedded
... and many more. For more details see:

Building with Meson should work on both Linux and Windows, but may
need a few more tweaks on other operating systems.
Don't use private GMutex implementation details to check
whether it has been freed already or not. Just clear mutex
and GCond unconditionally in free function, they are always
inited anyway, and the free function can't be called multiple
times either.
need to pass a GstSample to the utilitary preview buffer post functions
as a GstBuffer doesn't have caps anymore. The GstSample has the GstCaps
and it is used to inform the preview's pipeline about the format of the
input, before it gets converted to the user's requested output format.
Create preview pipeline already in initialization phase. This speeds
up NULL_TO_READY state change. Also implement a separate function for
setting the preview filter element.
This also restricts the preview filter property to work only on
NULL state.
Use g_new0 to initialize all fields with 0 to only cleanup what has been
initialized. This makes cleanup work correctly when some initialization
fails and pointers are left in some inconsistent state.
If the preview pipeline fails creation, for any reason, we should
fail basecamerasrc state change.
Also adds a missing g_return_if_fail check to preview pipeline
functions
The preview pipeline doesn't need 2 colorspace converters, remove
one to speed up caps negotiation and reduce the delay on getting
the first preview buffer out of the preview pipeline.
It shouldn't cause problems as videoscale and ffmpegcolorspace seems
to handle the same caps, so no conversion should be needed for
videoscale. Additionally, camerabin1 has been working with a similar
pipeline with a single ffmpegcolorspace and no bugs have been open about it
so far.
The use of this method was removed in:
commit 539f10f4d9
basecamerasrc: More cleanup
The code from wrappercamerabinsrc is from v4l2camerasrc but is unused:
get_allowed_input_caps is not called anywhere.
