[gst-devel] GstStructure mutability question

[José Alburquerque]

Hi.  I have a question on the mutability enforcement ability of a 
GstStructure.  As I understand it, the structure is owned by a parent 
with refcounting capabilities.  The docs say that the structure can make 
itself mutable (?) by using the gst_structure_set_parent_refcount() 
method, which seems to simply augment the parent's refcount.  I'm 
wondering:  Suppose that the parent is refcounted more than once by 
other means, would this also make the structure immutable?  Is this 
desired/intentional behavior for GstStructure?  Is a GstStructure 
supposed to be immutable if its parent is refcounted more than once even 
if the gst_structure_set_parent_refcount() method is not used?  Thanks.
