It is currently a thin wrapper on top of * #GObject. It is an abstract class that is not very usable on its own. * * #GstObject gives us basic refcounting, parenting functionality and locking. * Most of the function are just extended for special GStreamer needs and can be * found under the same name in the base class of #GstObject which is #GObject * (e.g. g_object_ref() becomes gst_object_ref()). * * The most interesting difference between #GstObject and #GObject is the * "floating" reference count. A #GObject is created with a reference count of * 1, owned by the creator of the #GObject. (The owner of a reference is the * code section that has the right to call gst_object_unref() in order to * remove that reference.) A #GstObject is created with a reference count of 1 * also, but it isn't owned by anyone; Instead, the initial reference count * of a #GstObject is "floating". The floating reference can be removed by * anyone at any time, by calling gst_object_sink(). gst_object_sink() does * nothing if an object is already sunk (has no floating reference). * * When you add a #GstElement to its parent container, the parent container will * do this: * * * gst_object_ref (GST_OBJECT (child_element)); * gst_object_sink (GST_OBJECT (child_element)); * * * This means that the container now owns a reference to the child element * (since it called gst_object_ref()), and the child element has no floating * reference. * * The purpose of the floating reference is to keep the child element alive * until you add it to a parent container, which then manages the lifetime of * the object itself: * * * element = gst_element_factory_make (factoryname, name); * // element has one floating reference to keep it alive * gst_bin_add (GST_BIN (bin), element); * // element has one non-floating reference owned by the container * * * * Another effect of this is, that calling gst_object_unref() on a bin object, * will also destoy all the #GstElement objects in it. The same is true for * calling gst_bin_remove(). * * Special care has to be taken for all methods that gst_object_sink() an object * since if the caller of those functions had a floating reference to the object, * the object reference is now invalid. * * In contrast to #GObject instances, #GstObject adds a name property. The functions * gst_object_set_name() and gst_object_get_name() are used to set/get the name * of the object. * * Last reviewed on 2005-11-09 (0.9.4) */ #include "gst_private.h" #include "gstobject.h" #include "gstmarshal.h" #include "gstinfo.h" #include "gstutils.h" #ifndef GST_DISABLE_TRACE #include "gsttrace.h" static GstAllocTrace *_gst_object_trace; #endif #define DEBUG_REFCOUNT /* Object signals and args */ enum { DEEP_NOTIFY, LAST_SIGNAL }; enum { PROP_0, PROP_NAME, PROP_PARENT, PROP_LAST }; enum { SO_OBJECT_LOADED, SO_LAST_SIGNAL }; /* maps type name quark => count */ static GData *object_name_counts = NULL; G_LOCK_DEFINE_STATIC (object_name_mutex); static void gst_object_set_property (GObject * object, guint prop_id, const GValue * value, GParamSpec * pspec); static void gst_object_get_property (GObject * object, guint prop_id, GValue * value, GParamSpec * pspec); static void gst_object_dispatch_properties_changed (GObject * object, guint n_pspecs, GParamSpec ** pspecs); static void gst_object_dispose (GObject * object); static void gst_object_finalize (GObject * object); static gboolean gst_object_set_name_default (GstObject * object); static guint gst_object_signals[LAST_SIGNAL] = { 0 }; static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST]; G_DEFINE_ABSTRACT_TYPE (GstObject, gst_object, G_TYPE_INITIALLY_UNOWNED); static void gst_object_class_init (GstObjectClass * klass) { GObjectClass *gobject_class = G_OBJECT_CLASS (klass); #ifndef GST_DISABLE_TRACE _gst_object_trace = gst_alloc_trace_register (g_type_name (GST_TYPE_OBJECT)); #endif gobject_class->set_property = gst_object_set_property; gobject_class->get_property = gst_object_get_property; properties[PROP_NAME] = g_param_spec_string ("name", "Name", "The name of the object", NULL, G_PARAM_READWRITE | G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT | G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS); g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class, PROP_NAME, properties[PROP_NAME]); properties[PROP_PARENT] = g_param_spec_object ("parent", "Parent", "The parent of the object", GST_TYPE_OBJECT, G_PARAM_READWRITE | G_PARAM_STATIC_STRINGS); g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class, PROP_PARENT, properties[PROP_PARENT]); /** * GstObject::deep-notify: * @gstobject: a #GstObject * @prop_object: the object that originated the signal * @prop: the property that changed * * The deep notify signal is used to be notified of property changes.
