1、pool
allocator和pool一同使用时,pool被设置为active时会根据pool配置的参数调用alloc方法。
/**
* gst_buffer_pool_set_active:
* @pool: a #GstBufferPool
* @active: the new active state
*
* Control the active state of @pool. When the pool is inactive, new calls to
* gst_buffer_pool_acquire_buffer() will return with %GST_FLOW_FLUSHING.
*
* Activating the bufferpool will preallocate all resources in the pool based on
* the configuration of the pool.
*
* Deactivating will free the resources again when there are no outstanding
* buffers. When there are outstanding buffers, they will be freed as soon as
* they are all returned to the pool.
*
* Returns: %FALSE when the pool was not configured or when preallocation of the
* buffers failed.
*/
gboolean
gst_buffer_pool_set_active (GstBufferPool * pool, gboolean active)
{
gboolean res = TRUE;
GstBufferPoolPrivate *priv;
g_return_val_if_fail (GST_IS_BUFFER_POOL (pool), FALSE);
GST_LOG_OBJECT (pool, "active %d", active);
根据源码更进一步说明,alloc会被调用。
gst_buffer_pool_config_set_params(config, caps, size, min, max);
这里的size是单个buffer的大小.
min,max是指有多少个buffer。
min,max影响在buffer被使用多少次后free掉。
gboolean gst_buffer_map(GstBuffer *buffer, GstMapInfo *info, GstMapFlags flags);
如果info参数有效,效调用allocator的mem_map_full方法,相反,如果为NULL则调用mem_map方法。
2、allocator
allocator不是必须要注册表系统中。
使用
G_DEFINE_TYPE
定义在插件被加载时会自动调用init方法。
class_init中只需要一些必要的初始化,可以不加入系统中。
可以使用
gpointer g_object_new(GType object_type, const gchar *first_property_name, ...)
获取到之前初始化好的allocator并设置一些全局参数。
使用
gpointer g_object_new(GType object_type, const gchar *first_property_name, ...)
获取到allocator后需要调用
gpointer gst_object_ref_sink(gpointer object)
设置引用计数.
gst_allocator_alloc
GstMemory *gst_allocator_alloc(GstAllocator *allocator, gsize size, GstAllocationParams *params)
除allocator和params可以为NULL,size也可以设置为0.
这样可以规避alloc被调用,导致真实内存分配,在使用mmap时很有用。
当设备支持MMAP时,不需要实际的内存分配。只需在map时调用mmap对设备内存进行实际的mmap操作。
