Class AudioRingBuffer

The object's reference count will be incremented, and any floating reference will be removed (see gst_object_ref_sink())

Whenever the source_property is changed the target_property is updated using the same value. For instance:

  g_object_bind_property (action, "active", widget, "sensitive", 0);

Will result in the "sensitive" property of the widget #GObject instance to be updated with the same value of the "active" property of the action #GObject instance.

If flags contains %G_BINDING_BIDIRECTIONAL then the binding will be mutual: if target_property on target changes then the source_property on source will be updated as well.

The binding will automatically be removed when either the source or the target instances are finalized. To remove the binding without affecting the source and the target you can just call g_object_unref() on the returned #GBinding instance.

Removing the binding by calling g_object_unref() on it must only be done if the binding, source and target are only used from a single thread and it is clear that both source and target outlive the binding. Especially it is not safe to rely on this if the binding, source or target can be finalized from different threads. Keep another reference to the binding and use g_binding_unbind() instead to be on the safe side.

A #GObject can have multiple bindings.

This function is the language bindings friendly version of g_object_bind_property_full(), using #GClosures instead of function pointers.

The default handler will simply print the error string using g_print.

This is necessary for accessors that modify multiple properties to prevent premature notification while the object is still being modified.

If the object is not under property control, this will return %GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE. This allows the element to avoid the sub-dividing.

The control-rate is not expected to change if the element is in %GST_STATE_PAUSED or %GST_STATE_PLAYING.

This function is useful if one wants to e.g. draw a graph of the control curve or apply a control curve sample by sample.

Free-function: g_free

Free-function: g_free

The value can be:

• an empty #GValue initialized by %G_VALUE_INIT, which will be automatically initialized with the expected type of the property (since GLib 2.60)
• a #GValue initialized with the expected type of the property
• a #GValue initialized with a type to which the expected type of the property can be transformed

In general, a copy is made of the property contents and the caller is responsible for freeing the memory by calling g_value_unset().

Note that g_object_get_property() is really intended for language bindings, g_object_get() is much more convenient for C programming.

When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.

This function omits the property name lookup, hence it is faster than g_object_notify().

One way to avoid using g_object_notify() from within the class that registered the properties, and using g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead, is to store the GParamSpec used with g_object_class_install_property() inside a static array, e.g.:

  enum
  {
    PROP_0,
    PROP_FOO,
    PROP_LAST
  };

  static GParamSpec *properties[PROP_LAST];

  static void
  my_object_class_init (MyObjectClass *klass)
  {
    properties[PROP_FOO] = g_param_spec_int ("foo", "Foo", "The foo",
                                             0, 100,
                                             50,
                                             G_PARAM_READWRITE);
    g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class,
                                     PROP_FOO,
                                     properties[PROP_FOO]);
  }

and then notify a change on the "foo" property with:

  g_object_notify_by_pspec (self, properties[PROP_FOO]);

This object returns the input parameter to ease writing constructs like : result = gst_object_ref (object->parent);

In other words, if the object is floating, then this call "assumes ownership" of the floating reference, converting it to a normal reference by clearing the floating flag while leaving the reference count unchanged. If the object is not floating, then this call adds a new normal reference increasing the reference count by one.

Since GLib 2.56, the type of object will be propagated to the return type under the same conditions as for g_object_ref().

This function should only be called from object system implementations.

The control-rate should not change if the element is in %GST_STATE_PAUSED or %GST_STATE_PLAYING.

If the object already had an association with that name, the old association will be destroyed.

Internally, the key is converted to a #GQuark using g_quark_from_string(). This means a copy of key is kept permanently (even after object has been finalized) — so it is recommended to only use a small, bounded set of values for key in your program, to avoid the #GQuark storage growing unbounded.

void
object_add_to_user_list (GObject     *object,
                         const gchar *new_string)
{
  // the quark, naming the object data
  GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list");
  // retrieve the old string list
  GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);

  // prepend new string
  list = g_list_prepend (list, g_strdup (new_string));
  // this changed 'list', so we need to set it again
  g_object_set_qdata_full (object, quark_string_list, list, free_string_list);
}
static void
free_string_list (gpointer data)
{
  GList *node, *list = data;

  for (node = list; node; node = node->next)
    g_free (node->data);
  g_list_free (list);
}

Using g_object_get_qdata() in the above example, instead of g_object_steal_qdata() would have left the destroy function set, and thus the partial string list would have been freed upon g_object_set_qdata_full().

If this function fails, it is most likely the application developers fault. Most probably the control sources are not setup correctly.

Duplicate notifications for each property are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property, in the reverse order in which they have been queued.

It is an error to call this function when the freeze count is zero.

MT safe. Grabs and releases object's lock.

The unref method should never be called with the LOCK held since this might deadlock the dispose function.

When possible, eg. when signaling a property change from within the class that registered the property, you should use g_object_notify_by_pspec() instead.

Note that emission of the notify signal may be blocked with g_object_freeze_notify(). In this case, the signal emissions are queued and will be emitted (in reverse order) when g_object_thaw_notify() is called.
