GStreamer polices for various forms of library output, including error cases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
g_return_...
|
|
============
|
|
The parameters of a function are checked for validity (non-NULL, correct type, etc.) with g_return[_val]_if_fail, i.e.:
|
|
|
|
gst_element_connect (GstElement *src, gchar *srcpadname,
|
|
GstElement *dest, gchar *destpadname) {
|
|
g_return_if_fail (src != NULL);
|
|
g_return_if_fail (GST_IS_ELEMENT(src));
|
|
g_return_if_fail (srcpadname != NULL);
|
|
g_return_if_fail (dest != NULL);
|
|
g_return_if_fail (GST_IS_ELEMENT(dest));
|
|
g_return_if_fail (destpadname != NULL);
|
|
|
|
This will inform the user of the library of any basic problems with the arguments they pass, such as a NULL pointer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ERROR
|
|
=====
|
|
The ERROR macro will be used whenever there is some other type of flaw in the data passed, at a GStreamer-specific
|
|
level:
|
|
|
|
srcpad = gst_element_get_pad (src, srcpadname);
|
|
if (srcpad == NULL) {
|
|
ERROR(src,"source element has no pad \"%s\"",srcpadname);
|
|
return;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
An ERROR will generally cause ceasation of the application, and ideally launch gdb.
|
|
|
|
|
|
INFO
|
|
====
|
|
The INFO macro will be used to output any interesting state from the library, such as plugin loading and various events
|
|
of interest. They will be separated into categories that can be individually enabled and disabled.
|
|
