GstTracerRecord

GstTracerRecord — Trace log entry class

Object Hierarchy

    GObject
    ╰── GInitiallyUnowned
        ╰── GstObject
            ╰── GstTracerRecord

Includes

#include <gst/gstprotection.h>

Description

Tracing modules will create instances of this class to announce the data they will log and create a log formatter.

Functions

gst_tracer_record_new ()

GstTracerRecord *
gst_tracer_record_new (const gchar *name,
                       const gchar *firstfield,
                       ...);

Create a new tracer record. The record instance can be used to efficiently log entries using gst_tracer_record_log().

The name without the ".class" suffix will be used for the log records. There must be fields for each value that gets logged where the field name is the value name. The field must be a GstStructure describing the value. The sub structure must contain a field called 'type' of G_TYPE_GTYPE that contains the GType of the value. The resulting GstTracerRecord will take ownership of the field structures.

The way to deal with optional values is to log an additional boolean before the optional field, that if TRUE signals that the optional field is valid and FALSE signals that the optional field should be ignored. One must still log a placeholder value for the optional field though. Please also note, that pointer type values must not be NULL - the underlying serialisation can not handle that right now.

Please note that this is still under discussion and subject to change.

Parameters

name

name of new record, must end on ".class".

 

firstfield

name of first field to set

 

...

additional arguments

 

Returns

a new GstTracerRecord.

gst_tracer_record_log ()

void
gst_tracer_record_log (GstTracerRecord *self,
                       ...);

Serialzes the trace event into the log.

Right now this is using the gstreamer debug log with the level TRACE (7) and the category "GST_TRACER".

Please note that this is still under discussion and subject to change.

Parameters

self

the tracer-record

 

...

the args as described in the spec-

 

Types and Values

GstTracerRecord

typedef struct _GstTracerRecord GstTracerRecord;

enum GstTracerValueFlags

Flag that describe the value. These flags help applications processing the logs to understand the values.

Members

GST_TRACER_VALUE_FLAGS_NONE

no flags

 

GST_TRACER_VALUE_FLAGS_OPTIONAL

the value is optional. When using this flag one need to have an additional boolean arg before this value in the var-args list passed to gst_tracer_record_log().

 

GST_TRACER_VALUE_FLAGS_AGGREGATED

the value is a combined figure, since the start of tracing. Examples are averages or timestamps.

 

enum GstTracerValueScope

Tracing record will contain fields that contain a meassured value or extra meta-data. One such meta data are values that tell where a measurement was taken. This enumerating declares to which scope such a meta data field relates to. If it is e.g. GST_TRACER_VALUE_SCOPE_PAD, then each of the log events may contain values for different GstPads.

Members

GST_TRACER_VALUE_SCOPE_PROCESS

the value is related to the process

 

GST_TRACER_VALUE_SCOPE_THREAD

the value is related to a thread

 

GST_TRACER_VALUE_SCOPE_ELEMENT

the value is related to an GstElement

 

GST_TRACER_VALUE_SCOPE_PAD

the value is related to a GstPad
