Description Olivier Blin 2012-03-01 14:31:22 UTC 
Currently, gstreamer is using glib-genmarshal to generate type-specific marshallers.
This can be troublesome when cross-compiling, since a compatible glib-genmarshal needs to be available on the host.

It would nice to use the new g_cclosure_marshal_generic() function instead. This is a generic marshaller based on libffi, it is available starting from glib 2.30.
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2012-03-02 09:43:59 UTC 
As a first step we should probably stop installing gstmarshal.h. Then we can change it to the generic marshaller later without worrying about keeping the old functions in our public API.

    gst: Remove gstmarshal.[ch] completely and use the generic marshaller
    
    Fixes bug #671130.

    gst: Don't install gstmarshal.h
    
    The generic, FFI based marshaller should be used instead of these
    and we definitely shouldn't export the marshallers in our public API.
