Most source elements start a #GstTask to push data. In some cases * a demuxer element can start a #GstTask to pull data from a peer element. This * is typically done when the demuxer can perform random access on the upstream * peer element for improved performance. * * Although convenience functions exist on #GstPad to start/pause/stop tasks, it * might sometimes be needed to create a #GstTask manually if it is not related to * a #GstPad. * * Before the #GstTask can be run, it needs a #GStaticRecMutex that can be set with * gst_task_set_lock(). * * The task can be started, paused and stopped with gst_task_start(), gst_task_pause() * and gst_task_stop() respectively. * * A #GstTask will repeadedly call the #GstTaskFunction with the user data * that was provided when creating the task with gst_task_create(). Before calling * the function it will acquire the provided lock. * * Stopping a task with gst_task_stop() will not immediatly make sure the task is * not running anymore. Use gst_task_join() to make sure the task is completely * stopped and the thread is stopped. * * After creating a #GstTask, use gst_object_unref() to free its resources. This can * only be done it the task is not running anymore. * * Last reviewed on 2006-02-13 (0.10.4) */ #include "gst_private.h" #include "gstinfo.h" #include "gsttask.h" GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_STATIC (task_debug); #define GST_CAT_DEFAULT (task_debug) static void gst_task_class_init (GstTaskClass * klass); static void gst_task_init (GstTask * task); static void gst_task_finalize (GObject * object); static void gst_task_func (GstTask * task, GstTaskClass * tclass); static GstObjectClass *parent_class = NULL; static GStaticMutex pool_lock = G_STATIC_MUTEX_INIT; GType gst_task_get_type (void) { static GType _gst_task_type = 0; if (G_UNLIKELY (_gst_task_type == 0)) { static const GTypeInfo task_info = { sizeof (GstTaskClass), NULL, NULL, (GClassInitFunc) gst_task_class_init, NULL, NULL, sizeof (GstTask), 0, (GInstanceInitFunc) gst_task_init, NULL }; _gst_task_type = g_type_register_static (GST_TYPE_OBJECT, "GstTask", &task_info, 0); GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_INIT (task_debug, "task", 0, "Processing tasks"); } return _gst_task_type; } static void gst_task_class_init (GstTaskClass * klass) { GObjectClass *gobject_class; gobject_class = (GObjectClass *) klass; parent_class = g_type_class_peek_parent (klass); gobject_class->finalize = GST_DEBUG_FUNCPTR (gst_task_finalize); klass->pool = g_thread_pool_new ( (GFunc) gst_task_func, klass, -1, FALSE, NULL); } static void gst_task_init (GstTask * task) { task->running = FALSE; task->abidata.ABI.thread = NULL; task->lock = NULL; task->cond = g_cond_new (); task->state = GST_TASK_STOPPED; } static void gst_task_finalize (GObject * object) { GstTask *task = GST_TASK (object); GST_DEBUG ("task %p finalize", task); /* task thread cannot be running here since it holds a ref * to the task so that the finalize could not have happened */ g_cond_free (task->cond); task->cond = NULL; G_OBJECT_CLASS (parent_class)->finalize (object); } static void gst_task_func (GstTask * task, GstTaskClass * tclass) { GStaticRecMutex *lock; GThread *tself; tself = g_thread_self (); GST_DEBUG ("Entering task %p, thread %p", task, tself); /* we have to grab the lock to get the mutex.
