[gst-devel] weird glib behaviour

Fri Nov 30 00:37:01 CET 2001

Hi all,

I'm completely confused.... Have been trying to get the v4l stuff to
work for some time now, still getting the same errors.

Here's a run of gstreamer-launch in gdb (v4lsrc):

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

The crash seems to be at parent_class->set_property() in
gst_v4lsrc_set_property, although parent_class should have
set_property() defined... I don't get that. I could use
gst_v4lelement_set_property directly but that's pretty ugly.

Here's a run with v4lmjpegsrc, when I don't use any args (not needed),
so I shouldn't be getting this parent_class->set_property() error:

And here, I'm totally lost... This is all inside gstreamer-launch and
gtk, not in my plugin...

Here's a bit of gtkarg.c, where the error takes place (this is gtk):

static void
gtk_args_query_foreach (gpointer key,
			gpointer value,
			gpointer user_data)
{
  register GtkArgInfo *info;
  register GtkArgQueryData *data;

  g_assert (key == value); /* paranoid */

  info = value;
  data = user_data;

  if (info->class_type == data->class_type)
    data->arg_list = g_list_prepend (data->arg_list, info);
}
http://www.mit.edu/afs/sipb/project/gnome/old-and-dead/oldstuff/src/gtk+/gtk/gtkarg.c

g_assert(key == value) is where it's failing....

Anyway, my thoughts are that I did something stupid in the object-setup
within the v4l plugins. v4lelement is a parent class (it's a
gstelement), v4lsrc/v4lmjpegsrc are both v4lelements.

The code is available at
http://ronal.bitfreak.net/download/v4l_patch.tar.gz - just unpack it to
the v4l directory in gstreamer/plugins/cpture/v4l (it replaces the old
v4l plugin). If someone can have a look at it and tell me what I did
wrong, I'd be very happy.

Thanks,

Ronald
