Description Matthias Kretz 2008-11-07 10:41:27 UTC 
GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE and GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE_STATIC both implicitly use the PACKAGE macro. This needs to be mentioned in the docs (and also what it is used for).

Good catch - I'll document it. Its used to add the package that defines the plugin to the registry metadata. I wonder if I should also add an #ifdef for it and use a static string "unknown" if its not defined. That would fix a build error, incase someone is not using autotools (which define PACKAGE).

    Document that GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE macros use PACKAGE define. Fixes #559722.
    
    PACKAGE is defined by autofoo. If people use something different, they might want to define it themself.
