As such, they should only inform about errors, and stop their * processing. In short, an element doesn't know what it is being used for. * * It is the application or compound element using the given element that * has more context about the use of the element. Errors can be received by * listening to the #GstBus of the element/pipeline for #GstMessage objects with * the type %GST_MESSAGE_ERROR or %GST_MESSAGE_WARNING. The thrown errors should * be inspected, and filtered if appropriate. * * An application is expected to, by default, present the user with a * dialog box (or an equivalent) showing the error message. The dialog * should also allow a way to get at the additional debug information, * so the user can provide bug reporting information. * * A compound element is expected to forward errors by default higher up * the hierarchy; this is done by default in the same way as for other types * of #GstMessage. * * When applications or compound elements trigger errors that they can * recover from, they can filter out these errors and take appropriate action. * For example, an application that gets an error from xvimagesink * that indicates all XVideo ports are taken, the application can attempt * to use another sink instead. * * Elements throw errors using the #GST_ELEMENT_ERROR convenience macro: * * * Throwing an error * * GST_ELEMENT_ERROR (src, RESOURCE, NOT_FOUND, * (_("No file name specified for reading.")), (NULL)); * * * * Things to keep in mind: * * Don't go off inventing new error codes. The ones * currently provided should be enough. If you find your type of error * does not fit the current codes, you should use FAILED. * Don't provide a message if the default one suffices. * this keeps messages more uniform. Use (NULL) - not forgetting the * parentheses. * If you do supply a custom message, it should be * marked for translation. The message should start with a capital * and end with a period. The message should describe the error in short, * in a human-readable form, and without any complex technical terms. * A user interface will present this message as the first thing a user * sees. Details, technical info, ... should go in the debug string. * * The debug string can be as you like. Again, use (NULL) * if there's nothing to add - file and line number will still be * passed. #GST_ERROR_SYSTEM can be used as a shortcut to give * debug information on a system call error. * * * Last reviewed on 2006-09-15 (0.10.10) */ /* FIXME 0.11: the entire error system needs an overhaul - it's not very * useful the way it is. Also, we need to be able to specify additional * 'details' for errors (e.g. disk/file/resource error -> out-of-space; or * put the url/filename/device name that caused the error somewhere) * without having to add enums for every little thing. * * FIXME 0.11: get rid of GST_{CORE,LIBRARY,RESOURCE,STREAM}_ERROR_NUM_ERRORS. * Maybe also replace _quark() functions with g_quark_from_static_string()? */ #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H #include "config.h" #endif #include "gst_private.h" #include #include "gst-i18n-lib.h" #define QUARK_FUNC(string) \ GQuark gst_ ## string ## _error_quark (void) { \ static GQuark quark; \ if (!quark) \ quark = g_quark_from_static_string ("gst-" # string "-error-quark"); \ return quark; } #define FILE_A_BUG " Please file a bug at " PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "." static const gchar * gst_error_get_core_error (GstCoreError code) { switch (code) { case GST_CORE_ERROR_FAILED: return _("GStreamer encountered a general core library error."); case GST_CORE_ERROR_TOO_LAZY: return _("GStreamer developers were too lazy to assign an error code " "to this error."
