GstMessageType above GST_MESSAGE_EXTENDED not usable with python3 on windows
The following python3 code:
import gi
gi.require_version("Gst", "1.0")
from gi.repository import Gst
print(Gst.MessageType.get_name(Gst.MessageType.DEVICE_ADDED))
fails on windows 32 and 64 with this error:
OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "bug.py", line 4, in <module>
print(Gst.MessageType.get_name(Gst.MessageType.DEVICE_ADDED))
SystemError: gi.FunctionInfo(get_name) returned a result with an error set
The same is true for any GstMessageType above or equal to GST_MESSAGE_EXTENDED.
My understanding of the issue is that, something, somewhere, is trying to map
the Gst enum/flag to a C long.
On Windows, according to [1], a long is a signed 32 bit integer (range is
–2147483648 through 2147483647).
But GST_MESSAGE_EXTENDED (and above enums) are too big to fit a Windows C long.
GST_MESSAGE_EXTENDED = (1 << 31) = 2147483648 > 2147483647.
I found a somewhat similar issue :
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732633
But this issue is related to signed vs unsigned (and is fixed in 1.12.2).
Is that issue fixable ? If yes, where should I look : pyobject,
gobject-introspection, ... ?
This issue appears with GStreamer 1.12.2, gobject-introspection 1.52.1 and
pygobject 3.24.1 (which are all relatively recent) on a MSYS2 system.

PS : gstmessage.h has this comment : /* FIXME: 2.0: Make it NOT flags, just a
regular 1,2,3,4.. enumeration */
Would be great to do ;) but would break ABI I guess...
