  GStreamer | documentation | Ver: HEAD CVS
           Summary: Documentation: GstXml says to "override" functions, not
                    vfuncs.
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: documentation
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: murrayc at murrayc.com

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


The GstXml documentation
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstXML.html
says 
"GstElement implementations need to override gst_object_save_thyself() and
gst_object_restore_thyself()."

This should specifically recommend overiding the save_thyself() and
restore_thyself() virtual functions (pointers to functions in GstObjectClass),
to avoid confusion.

By the way "thyself" is a stupid word to use in API.
