Out-of-band events might lead to us calling g_object_notify() from a
non-streaming thread, which can cause crashes if g_object_notify() is
being called from the streaming thread at the same time. See #554460.
GObject may crash if two threads do concurrent g_object_notify() on the same
object. This may happen if fakesink receives an out-of-band event such as
FLUSH_START while processing a buffer or serialised event in the streaming
thread. Since this may happen with the default settings during a common
operation like a seek, and there seems to be little chance of a timely fix
in GObject (see #166020), we should hack around this issue by protecting all
of fakesink's direct g_object_notify() calls with a lock.
Also add unit test for the above.
Fixes#554460.
Make gst_tag_list_get_string() return FALSE for NULL strings and
empty strings, and gst_tag_list_get_pointer() return FALSE for
NULL pointers, like we do with dates and buffers.
Fixes#560345.
Also warn if an element or application tries to add a field with an
empty string to a structure (NULL strings are still needed and
allowed though) and do all those checks in the right function.
Fixes#559643.
Use gst_structure_id_empty_new() in combination with GST_QUARK
rather than gst_structure_id_new() when creating message, event,
query and taglist structures. Mostly just because we can.
Use the element START_TIME to keep track of the running time when the pipeline
paused so that it can be used to restore the base_time.
Take the start_time before setting the children to PAUSED so that we can
distribute the start_time to the children.
Add a start_time field and some methods. The start_time will contain the
running_time of when the element last went to paused. This time can be user to
report the position in PAUSED but also to do more correct clipping and
stepping later.
gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32 could return values smaller than offset
if the first byte(s) of the mask are 0 and the pattern matches the
beginning of the adapter.
Added examples to documentation of gst_adapter_masked_scan_uint32().
Also added some more masked boundary tests.
Fixes#584118
This reverts commit bebfde7502.
This change shouldn't be done in a stable release series as
applications are actually expecting the sender to be an
GstElement. One example is totem.
The check-enum-gettypes rule didn't work for 'make distcheck' since
it makes assumptions about the location of the source files from the
current working directory which isn't true during distchecking.
Unset the running flag after we released the lock for posting the stream-status
message. If we set the running flag to FALSE too early, the join method will
just continue without waiting for the message to be posted, leading to potential
crashes.
When writing a cache chunk fails, we were freeing the node and jump to a final
cleanup which dereferenced a null pointer. Leve freeing the node to the cleanup
code in fail_free_list. (sorry for committing wrong fix before).

Move MT safety to main description (it does not belong to Return: or Since:
statement). Add a few missing return docs. Downgrade a normal comment froma doc
comment. Fix a doc header to only contain symbol name.
Fix a warning that occurs when the self->priv->values is NULL and
the code tries to retrieve an iterator from it. The warning was showing
up in the checks for the volume element.
