X-Git-Tag: RELEASE-0_10_10~36 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f0f388b8bab8819c4490b4be0ce13b8c19f64245;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fgstreamer.git gst/gstpad.c: Improve debugging for task functions. Original commit message from CVS: * gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_start_task), (gst_pad_pause_task), (gst_pad_stop_task): Improve debugging for task functions. * gst/gsttask.c: (gst_task_func), (gst_task_set_lock), (gst_task_start), (gst_task_pause), (gst_task_join): Make sure that the task function started and finished after a join(). Don't try to push the task function on the threadpool multiple times. Improve the g_warning message with some useful suggestions about how to fix the problem. --- diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index f2885cc..576e8e6 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,5 +1,20 @@ 2006-08-23 Wim Taymans + * gst/gstpad.c: (gst_pad_start_task), (gst_pad_pause_task), + (gst_pad_stop_task): + Improve debugging for task functions. + + * gst/gsttask.c: (gst_task_func), (gst_task_set_lock), + (gst_task_start), (gst_task_pause), (gst_task_join): + Make sure that the task function started and finished after a + join(). + Don't try to push the task function on the threadpool multiple + times. + Improve the g_warning message with some useful suggestions + about how to fix the problem. + +2006-08-23 Wim Taymans + * gst/gstutils.c: (gst_pad_proxy_getcaps): Handle RESYNC correctly in _proxy_getcaps. diff --git a/gst/gstpad.c b/gst/gstpad.c index 33600db..b95c6c1 100644 --- a/gst/gstpad.c +++ b/gst/gstpad.c @@ -4104,12 +4104,15 @@ gst_pad_start_task (GstPad * pad, GstTaskFunction func, gpointer data) g_return_val_if_fail (GST_IS_PAD (pad), FALSE); g_return_val_if_fail (func != NULL, FALSE); + GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pad, "start task"); + GST_OBJECT_LOCK (pad); task = GST_PAD_TASK (pad); if (task == NULL) { task = gst_task_create (func, data); gst_task_set_lock (task, GST_PAD_GET_STREAM_LOCK (pad)); GST_PAD_TASK (pad) = task; + GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pad, "created task"); } gst_task_start (task); GST_OBJECT_UNLOCK (pad); @@ -4134,6 +4137,8 @@ gst_pad_pause_task (GstPad * pad) g_return_val_if_fail (GST_IS_PAD (pad), FALSE); + GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pad, "pause task"); + GST_OBJECT_LOCK (pad); task = GST_PAD_TASK (pad); if (task == NULL) @@ -4177,6 +4182,8 @@ gst_pad_stop_task (GstPad * pad) g_return_val_if_fail (GST_IS_PAD (pad), FALSE); + GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pad, "stop task"); + GST_OBJECT_LOCK (pad); task = GST_PAD_TASK (pad); if (task == NULL) @@ -4197,6 +4204,7 @@ gst_pad_stop_task (GstPad * pad) no_task: { + GST_DEBUG_OBJECT (pad, "no task"); GST_OBJECT_UNLOCK (pad); GST_PAD_STREAM_LOCK (pad); @@ -4211,6 +4219,7 @@ join_failed: * the task's thread.
