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 or with the gst_task_set_state() function. * * A #GstTask will repeatedly call the #GstTaskFunction with the user data * that was provided when creating the task with gst_task_create(). While calling * the function it will acquire the provided lock. The provided lock is released * when the task pauses or stops. * * Stopping a task with gst_task_stop() will not immediately 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. * * Task functions can send a #GstMessage to send out-of-band data to the * application. The application can receive messages from the #GstBus in its * mainloop. * * For debugging perposes, the task will configure its object name as the thread * name on Linux. Please note that the object name should be configured before the * task is started; changing the object name after the task has been started, has * no effect on the thread name. * * Last reviewed on 2010-03-15 (0.10.29) */ #include "gst_private.h" #include "gstinfo.h" #include "gsttask.h" #include #ifdef HAVE_SYS_PRCTL_H #include #endif GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_STATIC (task_debug); #define GST_CAT_DEFAULT (task_debug) #define SET_TASK_STATE(t,s) (g_atomic_int_set (&GST_TASK_STATE(t), (s))) #define GET_TASK_STATE(t) (g_atomic_int_get (&GST_TASK_STATE(t))) #define GST_TASK_GET_PRIVATE(obj) \ (G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_PRIVATE ((obj), GST_TYPE_TASK, GstTaskPrivate)) struct _GstTaskPrivate { /* callbacks for managing the thread of this task */ GstTaskThreadCallbacks thr_callbacks; gpointer thr_user_data; GDestroyNotify thr_notify; gboolean prio_set; GThreadPriority priority; /* configured pool */ GstTaskPool *pool; /* remember the pool and id that is currently running. */ gpointer id; GstTaskPool *pool_id; }; #ifdef _MSC_VER #include struct _THREADNAME_INFO { DWORD dwType; // must be 0x1000 LPCSTR szName; // pointer to name (in user addr space) DWORD dwThreadID; // thread ID (-1=caller thread) DWORD dwFlags; // reserved for future use, must be zero }; typedef struct _THREADNAME_INFO THREADNAME_INFO; void SetThreadName (DWORD dwThreadID, LPCSTR szThreadName) { THREADNAME_INFO info; info.dwType = 0x1000; info.szName = szThreadName; info.dwThreadID = dwThreadID; info.dwFlags = 0; __try { RaiseException (0x406D1388, 0, sizeof (info) / sizeof (DWORD), (DWORD *) & info); } __except (EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_EXECUTION) { } } #endif static void gst_task_finalize (GObject * object); static void gst_task_func (GstTask * task); static GStaticMutex pool_lock = G_STATIC_MUTEX_INIT; #define _do_init \ { \ GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_INIT (task_debug, "task", 0, "Processing tasks"); \ } G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_CODE (GstTask, gst_task, GST_TYPE_OBJECT, _do_init); static void init_klass_pool (GstTaskClass * klass) { g_static_mutex_lock (&pool_lock); if (klass->pool) { gst_task_pool_cleanup (klass->pool); gst_object_unref (klass->pool); } klass->pool = gst_task_pool_new (); gst_task_pool_prepare (klass->pool, NULL); g_static_mutex_unlock (&pool_lock); } static void gst_task_class_init (GstTaskClass * klass) { GObjectClass *gobject_class; gobject_class = (GObjectClass *) klass; g_type_class_add_private (klass, sizeof (GstTaskPrivate)); gobject_class->finalize = gst_task_finalize; init_klass_pool (klass); } static void gst_task_init (GstTask * task) { GstTaskClass *klass; klass = GST_TASK_GET_CLASS (task); task->priv = GST_TASK_GET_PRIVATE (task); task->running = FALSE; task->thread = NULL; task->lock = NULL; task->cond = g_cond_new (); SET_TASK_STATE (task, GST_TASK_STOPPED); task->priv->prio_set = FALSE; /* use the default klass pool for this task, users can * override this later */ g_static_mutex_lock (&pool_lock); task->priv->pool = gst_object_ref (klass->pool); g_static_mutex_unlock (&pool_lock); } static void gst_task_finalize (GObject * object) { GstTask *task = GST_TASK (object); GstTaskPrivate *priv = task->priv; GST_DEBUG ("task %p finalize", task); if (priv->thr_notify) priv->thr_notify (priv->thr_user_data); priv->thr_notify = NULL; priv->thr_user_data = NULL; gst_object_unref (priv->pool); /* 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 (gst_task_parent_class)->finalize (object); } /* should be called with the object LOCK */ static void gst_task_configure_name (GstTask * task) { #ifdef HAVE_SYS_PRCTL_H const gchar *name; gchar thread_name[17] = { 0, }; GST_OBJECT_LOCK (task); name = GST_OBJECT_NAME (task); /* set the thread name to something easily identifiable */ if (!snprintf (thread_name, 17, "%s", GST_STR_NULL (name))) { GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (task, "Could not create thread name for '%s'", name); } else { GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (task, "Setting thread name to '%s'", thread_name); if (prctl (PR_SET_NAME, (unsigned long int) thread_name, 0, 0, 0)) GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (task, "Failed to set thread name"); } GST_OBJECT_UNLOCK (task); #endif #ifdef _MSC_VER const gchar *name; name = GST_OBJECT_NAME (task); /* set the thread name to something easily identifiable */ GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (task, "Setting thread name to '%s'", name); SetThreadName (-1, name); #endif } static void gst_task_func (GstTask * task) { GStaticRecMutex *lock; GThread *tself; GstTaskPrivate *priv; priv = task->priv; tself = g_thread_self (); GST_DEBUG ("Entering task %p, thread %p", task, tself); /* we have to grab the lock to get the mutex.
