Bug 99362 – [GStreamer] GstCaps are leaked when building with gstreamer-1.0

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Media

[arno.]

Hi,
when using gstreamer-1.0,
webkitGstGetPadCaps gets a GstCaps* with gst_pad_get_current_caps or gst_pad_query_caps which both return an object with incremented ref-count. But those caps are not unrefed.

Looks nice, though I have a couple nits.

You don't actually need to check for null here or do an explicit call to GRefPtr. Is the problem that GST_PAD_CAPS doesn't return a new reference, but gst_pad_query_caps/gst_pad_get_current_caps does?

This method can just be:

#ifdef GST_API_VERSION_1
GStCaps* caps = gst_pad_get_current_caps(pad);
if (!caps)
    caps = gst_pad_query_caps(pad, 0);
return adoptGRef(caps); // gst_pad_query_caps and gst_pad_get_current_caps return a new reference.
#else
return GST_PAD_CAPS(pad);
#endif.

Nit: There should be no empty line here.

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/gstreamer/VideoSinkGStreamer.cpp:-187
> -#ifdef GST_API_VERSION_1
> -        gst_caps_unref(caps);
> -#endif

Nice cleanup!
