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.
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.
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.
Keep track of installed number of probes to shortcut emission.
Allow NULL callbacks, this is useful for blocking probes.
Improve probe selection based on the mask, an empty mask for the data or the
scheduling flags equals that all probes match.
Add some more debug info.
Don't check the flushing flag in the probe callback handler, this needs to be
done before calling the handler.
Fix blocking probes.
Fix unit tests
Make the PadBlock callback take a GstBlockType parameter to handle the different
kind of stages in the pad block. This provides for more backwards compatibility
in the pad block API.
Separate blocking and unblocking into different methods, only blocking can do a
callback, unblock is always immediately. Also removed synchronous blocking, it
can always be implemented with a callback.
Make pad block call the callback as soon as the pad is not in use. This makes it
possible to make sure that when the callback is called, no activity is happening
on the pad and that no activity will ever happen until the pad is unblocked
again. This makes pad blocking work when there is no dataflow or after EOS and
greatly helps dynamic pipelines.
Move the probe handling right where we wait on the pad block. The two are
related but not the same and the probe can eventually influence the pad
blocking as we'll se later.
Fix up some broken unit tests or tests that fail with the new behaviour.
Rework _push_event() a little so that it drops events on blocking pads.
Make sure that events are forwarded when we unblock.
Add counter on the pad to keep track of busy pads.
Implement a default buffer-list function in case the element doesn't implement
one.
Also pass buffer-lists to the have-data signal, this allows us to remove some
backward compatibility code.
Change the sticky event array so that it contains a pending and an active event.
Events on the sinkpad are copied to the pending array and after the eventfunc
returned TRUE, moved to the active event. This allows us to queue new events
like when we do per-pad offsets without removing the currently active event.
Remove the active argument from the gst_pad_get_sticky_event() method, the
pending events are not something we want to expose.
When linking pads and when copying a segment event from the sourc pad to the
sinkpad, apply the src and sinkpad offsets to the segment base. Make sure that
we only modify the event stored on the sinkpad and never the one on the source
pad.
When changing the pad offset, perform the segment copy with the updated offsets.
When pushing a segment event, apply the srcpad offset before sending the event
to the peer pad.
This part is missing the adjustment of the segment event on the sinkpad, which
is for a later patch.
Add methods to adjust the offset. This will be used to change the segment events
with an offset so that we can tweak the timing of the stream on a per-pad base.
First store the sticky event on the sinkpad in the inactive state, then check
for the flushing flag. We want to have the events on sinkpads at all times,
ready to be activated when the pad becomes active.
Make a function to call the eventfunc and perform a caps check when we are
dispatching a caps event.
This makes sure that all code paths correctly check that the caps are
acceptable before sending the caps to the eventfunction.
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.
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).
