It will then call the * #GstPluginInitFunc function that was provided in the * gst_plugin_desc. * * Once you have a handle to a #GstPlugin (e.g. from the #GstRegistryPool), you * can add any object that subclasses #GstPluginFeature. * * Use gst_plugin_find_feature() and gst_plugin_get_feature_list() to find * features in a plugin. * * Usually plugins are always automaticlly loaded so you don't need to call * gst_plugin_load() explicitly to bring it into memory. There are options to * statically link plugins to an app or even use GStreamer without a plugin * repository in which case gst_plugin_load() can be needed to bring the plugin * into memory. */ #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H #include "config.h" #endif #include #include #ifdef HAVE_DIRENT_H #include #endif #ifdef HAVE_UNISTD_H #include #endif #include #include #include "gst_private.h" #include "glib-compat-private.h" #include #define GST_CAT_DEFAULT GST_CAT_PLUGIN_LOADING static guint _num_static_plugins; /* 0 */ static GstPluginDesc *_static_plugins; /* NULL */ static gboolean _gst_plugin_inited; /* static variables for segfault handling of plugin loading */ static char *_gst_plugin_fault_handler_filename = NULL; #ifndef HAVE_WIN32 static gboolean _gst_plugin_fault_handler_is_setup = FALSE; #endif /* list of valid licenses. * One of these must be specified or the plugin won't be loaded * Contact gstreamer-devel@lists.sourceforge.net if your license should be * added. * * GPL: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html * LGPL: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html * QPL: http://www.trolltech.com/licenses/qpl.html * MPL: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mozilla1.1.php * MIT/X11: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php * 3-clause BSD: http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php */ static const gchar *valid_licenses[] = { "LGPL", /* GNU Lesser General Public License */ "GPL", /* GNU General Public License */ "QPL", /* Trolltech Qt Public License */ "GPL/QPL", /* Combi-license of GPL + QPL */ "MPL", /* MPL 1.1 license */ "BSD", /* 3-clause BSD license */ "MIT/X11", /* MIT/X11 license */ "Proprietary", /* Proprietary license */ GST_LICENSE_UNKNOWN, /* some other license */ NULL }; static GstPlugin *gst_plugin_register_func (GstPlugin * plugin, const GstPluginDesc * desc); static void gst_plugin_desc_copy (GstPluginDesc * dest, const GstPluginDesc * src); static void gst_plugin_desc_free (GstPluginDesc * desc); G_DEFINE_TYPE (GstPlugin, gst_plugin, GST_TYPE_OBJECT); static void gst_plugin_init (GstPlugin * plugin) { /* do nothing, needed because of G_DEFINE_TYPE */ } static void gst_plugin_finalize (GObject * object) { GstPlugin *plugin = GST_PLUGIN_CAST (object); GstRegistry *registry = gst_registry_get_default (); GList *g; GST_DEBUG ("finalizing plugin %p", plugin); for (g = registry->plugins; g; g = g->next) { if (g->data == (gpointer) plugin) { g_warning ("removing plugin that is still in registry"); } } g_free (plugin->filename); g_free (plugin->basename); gst_plugin_desc_free (&plugin->desc); G_OBJECT_CLASS (gst_plugin_parent_class)->finalize (object); } static void gst_plugin_class_init (GstPluginClass * klass) { G_OBJECT_CLASS (klass)->finalize = GST_DEBUG_FUNCPTR (gst_plugin_finalize); } GQuark gst_plugin_error_quark (void) { static GQuark quark = 0; if (!quark) quark = g_quark_from_static_string ("gst_plugin_error"); return quark; } #ifndef GST_REMOVE_DEPRECATED /* this function can be called in the GCC constructor extension, before * the _gst_plugin_initialize() was called.
