Compilation error : use of GES Gstreamer SDK - OK on Linux - NOK on Windows

[Eloi Bail]

Hi all,

We want to port linux code using GES on windows.
The development used Gstreamer SDK.

The same code can not be compiled on windows platform while it does on
Linux.




-----
*Here is a simple code :*

*#include <gst/gst.h>*

*#include <ges/ges.h>*

* *

*int main()*

*{*

*g_print ("Test.\n");*

*}*

*Our analysis :*


It looks like we have a warning due to zero length in struct.
Because ges_reserved is at the end of the struct, it lead to a warning but
not a error


struct _GESTimelineObjectClass {
  /*< private >*/
  GInitiallyUnownedClass parent_class;

  /*< public >*/
  GESCreateTrackObjectFunc create_track_object;
  GESCreateTrackObjectsFunc create_track_objects;

  /* FIXME : might need a release_track_object */
  GESFillTrackObjectFunc  fill_track_object;
  gboolean need_fill_track;
  gboolean snaps;

  void (*track_object_added)    (GESTimelineObject *object,
                                GESTrackObject *tck_object);
  void (*track_object_released) (GESTimelineObject *object,
                                GESTrackObject *tck_object);
  void (*set_max_duration )     (GESTimelineObject *object,
                                 guint64 maxduration);

  /*< private >*/
  /* Padding for API extension */
  *gpointer _ges_reserved[GES_PADDING - 4];*
};


But struct GesTimeLineOperation includes GesTimeLineObject struct.
Hence the empty array is not at the end of the struct

--> error

struct _GESTimelineOperation {
  /*< private >*/
  *GESTimelineObject parent;*

  GESTimelineOperationPrivate *priv;

  /* Padding for API extension */
  gpointer _ges_reserved[GES_PADDING];
};



Does someone already saw this issue ?

We could modify the struct of GesTimelineOperation to put parent at the
end, but could it lead to other issues. For example someone that is
considering this static  structure to access from one member to the next
one.

Thanks a lot,

Eloi
