[gst-devel] Type macros

[Torsten Schoenfeld]

Aloha,

some type macros (notably GST_TYPE_OBJECT and GST_TYPE_ELEMENT) point
directly to the static type variable instead of to the _get_type
function.  This means that they will all be 0 until the corresponding
_get_type function is called.  I realize that this does happen during
gst_init(), but that might be too late.  Some things (like language
bindings) rely on the type macros being valid at all times, even before
gst_init() got called.

So, is there a reason those macros are defined the way they are?
