26 * @short_description: Base class for the GStreamer object hierarchy
28 * #GstObject provides a root for the object hierarchy tree filed in by the
29 * GStreamer library. It is currently a thin wrapper on top of
30 * #GObject. It is an abstract class that is not very usable on its own.
32 * #GstObject gives us basic refcounting, parenting functionality and locking.
33 * Most of the function are just extended for special GStreamer needs and can be
34 * found under the same name in the base class of #GstObject which is #GObject
35 * (e.g. g_object_ref() becomes gst_object_ref()).
37 * The most interesting difference between #GstObject and #GObject is the
38 * "floating" reference count. A #GObject is created with a reference count of
39 * 1, owned by the creator of the #GObject. (The owner of a reference is the
40 * code section that has the right to call gst_object_unref() in order to
41 * remove that reference.) A #GstObject is created with a reference count of 1
42 * also, but it isn't owned by anyone; Instead, the initial reference count
43 * of a #GstObject is "floating". The floating reference can be removed by
44 * anyone at any time, by calling gst_object_sink(). gst_object_sink() does
45 * nothing if an object is already sunk (has no floating reference).
47 * When you add a #GstElement to its parent container, the parent container will
51 * gst_object_ref (GST_OBJECT (child_element));
52 * gst_object_sink (GST_OBJECT (child_element));
55 * This means that the container now owns a reference to the child element
56 * (since it called gst_object_ref()), and the child element has no floating
59 * The purpose of the floating reference is to keep the child element alive
60 * until you add it to a parent container, which then manages the lifetime of
64 * element = gst_element_factory_make (factoryname, name);
65 * // element has one floating reference to keep it alive
66 * gst_bin_add (GST_BIN (bin), element);
67 * // element has one non-floating reference owned by the container
71 * Another effect of this is, that calling gst_object_unref() on a bin object,
72 * will also destoy all the #GstElement objects in it. The same is true for
73 * calling gst_bin_remove().
75 * Special care has to be taken for all methods that gst_object_sink() an object
76 * since if the caller of those functions had a floating reference to the object,
77 * the object reference is now invalid.
79 * In contrast to #GObject instances, #GstObject adds a name property. The functions
80 * gst_object_set_name() and gst_object_get_name() are used to set/get the name
