Description Alessandro Decina 2006-10-01 10:30:35 UTC 
_gst_event_copy copies an event and its child structure. So the new event, the parent of the new structure, has refcount=1. _gst_event_copy then sets the parent_refcount of the new structure to the refcount of the original event, rather than the new copy.

test case

A test case that exposes the bug. Notice how the event is ref'fed two times. Without that, after the gst_mini_object_make_writable both the events would be writable.

        Patch by: Alessandro Decina  <alessandro at nnva org>

        * gst/gstevent.c: (_gst_event_copy):
          Fix gst_mini_object_make_writable() and gst_event_copy() for events
          with event structures by setting the parent refcount address of the
          copied structure to the address of the refcount member of the newly
          copied event rather than the address of the refcount member of the
          original event. Fixes #358737.

        * tests/check/gst/gstevent.c: (GST_START_TEST):
          Unit test for the above.
