Yesterday we got a new issue related to gstreamer Nim bindings.
We added the gstreamer main module Gst-1.0.gir some years ago due to a user request and provided a minimal example, but that user fast dissappeared.
From this new issue
it seems that user needs GstBase-1.0.gir and GstApp-1.0.gir at least.
But for GstBase-1.0.gir our generator script produces some errors. First is related to
gst_bit_writer_free_and_get_data()
From /usr/share/gir-1.0/GstBase-1.0.gir we have
<method name="free_and_get_data"
c:identifier="gst_bit_writer_free_and_get_data">
<doc xml:space="preserve"
filename="gstbitwriter.c"
line="261">Frees @bitwriter without destroying the internal data, which is
returned.
Free-function: g_free</doc>
<source-position filename="gstbitwriter.h" line="74"/>
<return-value transfer-ownership="full">
<doc xml:space="preserve"
filename="gstbitwriter.c"
line="270">the current data. g_free() after
usage.</doc>
<array zero-terminated="0" c:type="guint8*">
<type name="guint8" c:type="guint8"/>
</array>
</return-value>
<parameters>
<instance-parameter name="bitwriter" transfer-ownership="full">
<doc xml:space="preserve"
filename="gstbitwriter.c"
line="263">#GstBitWriter instance</doc>
<type name="BitWriter" c:type="GstBitWriter*"/>
</instance-parameter>
</parameters>
</method>
which confuses our bindings generators.
My current feeling is that is wrong, as there is no length parameter provided. Should it be zero-terminated=“1” instead?
Unfortunately I do know nearly nothing about gstreamer.
This is for gstreamer-1.16.2 provided by Gentoo-Linux.
