[gst-devel] refdbg and gst

[Stefan K. <ko...@im...>]

hi hi,

I've been using refdbg [1] since a few days on my project and it helped me a
lot. After fixing a lot of ref-count probelms a few persist and they seem to be
inside gst at a very low level.
Can anyone of the core developers please try it to and either confirm that there
are bugs or tell me that I can safely ignore them.

Things I have tried are:

refdbg -c "btnum=8 ; r0=B:error" gst-launch sinesrc ! osssink
refdbg -c "btnum=8 ; r0=B:error" gst-launch sinesrc ! audioconvert ! esdsink
refdbg -c "btnum=8 ; r0=B:error" gst-launch fakesrc ! fakesink

and then

refdbg -c "btnum=8 ; r0=B:error" gdb --args gst-launch fakesrc ! fakesink

The "btnum=8" instructs refdbg to print a backtrace with 8 lines and the
"r0=..." is a rule that says "break on Error".
The error I get it that gst refs something that already has been destroyed.

Unfortunately gdb is not able to get a backtrace for whatever reason :-(

Ciao
  Stefan
