GstDataQueue

GstDataQueue — Threadsafe queueing object

Functions

Types and Values

Includes

#include <gst/base/gstdataqueue.h>

Description

GstDataQueue is an object that handles threadsafe queueing of objects. It also provides size-related functionality. This object should be used for any GstElement that wishes to provide some sort of queueing functionality.

Functions

GstDataQueueCheckFullFunction ()

gboolean
(*GstDataQueueCheckFullFunction) (GstDataQueue *queue,
                                  guint visible,
                                  guint bytes,
                                  guint64 time,
                                  gpointer checkdata);

The prototype of the function used to inform the queue that it should be considered as full.

[skip]

Parameters

queue

a GstDataQueue.

 

visible

The number of visible items currently in the queue.

 

bytes

The amount of bytes currently in the queue.

 

time

The accumulated duration of the items currently in the queue.

 

checkdata

The gpointer registered when the GstDataQueue was created.

 

Returns

TRUE if the queue should be considered full.


GstDataQueueEmptyCallback ()

void
(*GstDataQueueEmptyCallback) (GstDataQueue *queue,
                              gpointer checkdata);

GstDataQueueFullCallback ()

void
(*GstDataQueueFullCallback) (GstDataQueue *queue,
                             gpointer checkdata);

gst_data_queue_new ()

GstDataQueue *
gst_data_queue_new (GstDataQueueCheckFullFunction checkfull,
                    GstDataQueueFullCallback fullcallback,
                    GstDataQueueEmptyCallback emptycallback,
                    gpointer checkdata);

Creates a new GstDataQueue. If fullcallback or emptycallback are supplied, then the GstDataQueue will call the respective callback to signal full or empty condition. If the callbacks are NULL the GstDataQueue will instead emit 'full' and 'empty' signals.

[skip]

Parameters

checkfull

the callback used to tell if the element considers the queue full or not.

 

fullcallback

the callback which will be called when the queue is considered full.

 

emptycallback

the callback which will be called when the queue is considered empty.

 

checkdata

a gpointer that will be passed to the checkfull , fullcallback , and emptycallback callbacks.

 

Returns

a new GstDataQueue.

gst_data_queue_push ()

gboolean
gst_data_queue_push (GstDataQueue *queue,
                     GstDataQueueItem *item);

Pushes a GstDataQueueItem (or a structure that begins with the same fields) on the queue . If the queue is full, the call will block until space is available, OR the queue is set to flushing state. MT safe.

Note that this function has slightly different semantics than gst_pad_push() and gst_pad_push_event(): this function only takes ownership of item and the GstMiniObject contained in item if the push was successful. If FALSE is returned, the caller is responsible for freeing item and its contents.

[skip]

Parameters

queue

a GstDataQueue.

 

item

a GstDataQueueItem.

 

Returns

TRUE if the item was successfully pushed on the queue .

Since: 1.2


gst_data_queue_push_force ()

gboolean
gst_data_queue_push_force (GstDataQueue *queue,
                           GstDataQueueItem *item);

Pushes a GstDataQueueItem (or a structure that begins with the same fields) on the queue . It ignores if the queue is full or not and forces the item to be pushed anyway. MT safe.

Note that this function has slightly different semantics than gst_pad_push() and gst_pad_push_event(): this function only takes ownership of item and the GstMiniObject contained in item if the push was successful. If FALSE is returned, the caller is responsible for freeing item and its contents.

[skip]

Parameters

queue

a GstDataQueue.

 

item

a GstDataQueueItem.

 

Returns

TRUE if the item was successfully pushed on the queue .

Since: 1.2


gst_data_queue_pop ()

gboolean
gst_data_queue_pop (GstDataQueue *queue,
                    GstDataQueueItem **item);

Retrieves the first item available on the queue . If the queue is currently empty, the call will block until at least one item is available, OR the queue is set to the flushing state. MT safe.

[skip]

Parameters

queue

a GstDataQueue.

 

item

pointer to store the returned GstDataQueueItem.

 

Returns

TRUE if an item was successfully retrieved from the queue .

Since: 1.2


gst_data_queue_peek ()

gboolean
gst_data_queue_peek (GstDataQueue *queue,
                     GstDataQueueItem **item);

Retrieves the first item available on the queue without removing it. If the queue is currently empty, the call will block until at least one item is available, OR the queue is set to the flushing state. MT safe.

[skip]

Parameters

queue

a GstDataQueue.

 

item

pointer to store the returned GstDataQueueItem.

 

Returns

TRUE if an item was successfully retrieved from the queue .

Since: 1.2


gst_data_queue_flush ()

void
gst_data_queue_flush (GstDataQueue *queue);

Flushes all the contents of the queue . Any call to gst_data_queue_push and gst_data_queue_pop will be released. MT safe.

[skip]

Parameters

queue

a GstDataQueue.

 

Since: 1.2


gst_data_queue_set_flushing ()

void
gst_data_queue_set_flushing (GstDataQueue *queue,
                             gboolean flushing);

Sets the queue to flushing state if flushing is TRUE. If set to flushing state, any incoming data on the queue will be discarded. Any call currently blocking on gst_data_queue_push or gst_data_queue_pop will return straight away with a return value of FALSE. While the queue is in flushing state, all calls to those two functions will return FALSE.

MT Safe.

[skip]

Parameters

queue

a GstDataQueue.

 

flushing

a gboolean stating if the queue will be flushing or not.

 

Since: 1.2


gst_data_queue_drop_head ()

gboolean
gst_data_queue_drop_head (GstDataQueue *queue,
                          GType type);

Pop and unref the head-most GstMiniObject with the given GType.

[skip]

Parameters

queue

The GstDataQueue to drop an item from.

The GType of the item to drop.

 

Returns

TRUE if an element was removed.

Since: 1.2


gst_data_queue_is_full ()

gboolean
gst_data_queue_is_full (GstDataQueue *queue);

Since: 1.2


gst_data_queue_is_empty ()

gboolean
