Struct gstreamer_check::TestClock[][src]

pub struct TestClock(_);
Expand description

GstTestClock is an implementation of gst::Clock which has different behaviour compared to gst::SystemClock. Time for gst::SystemClock advances according to the system time, while time for TestClock changes only when set_time() or advance_time() are called. TestClock provides unit tests with the possibility to precisely advance the time in a deterministic manner, independent of the system time or any other external factors.

Advancing the time of a TestClock

  #include <gst/gst.h>
  #include <gst/check/gsttestclock.h>

  GstClock *clock;
  GstTestClock *test_clock;

  clock = gst_test_clock_new ();
  test_clock = GST_TEST_CLOCK (clock);
  GST_INFO ("Time: %" GST_TIME_FORMAT, GST_TIME_ARGS (gst_clock_get_time (clock)));
  gst_test_clock_advance_time ( test_clock, 1 * GST_SECOND);
  GST_INFO ("Time: %" GST_TIME_FORMAT, GST_TIME_ARGS (gst_clock_get_time (clock)));
  g_usleep (10 * G_USEC_PER_SEC);
  GST_INFO ("Time: %" GST_TIME_FORMAT, GST_TIME_ARGS (gst_clock_get_time (clock)));
  gst_test_clock_set_time (test_clock, 42 * GST_SECOND);
  GST_INFO ("Time: %" GST_TIME_FORMAT, GST_TIME_ARGS (gst_clock_get_time (clock)));
  ...

gst::Clock allows for setting up single shot or periodic clock notifications as well as waiting for these notifications synchronously (using gst_clock_id_wait()) or asynchronously (using gst_clock_id_wait_async() or gst_clock_id_wait_async()). This is used by many GStreamer elements, among them GstBaseSrc and GstBaseSink.

TestClock keeps track of these clock notifications. By calling wait_for_next_pending_id() or wait_for_multiple_pending_ids() a unit tests may wait for the next one or several clock notifications to be requested. Additionally unit tests may release blocked waits in a controlled fashion by calling process_next_clock_id(). This way a unit test can control the inaccuracy (jitter) of clock notifications, since the test can decide to release blocked waits when the clock time has advanced exactly to, or past, the requested clock notification time.

There are also interfaces for determining if a notification belongs to a TestClock or not, as well as getting the number of requested clock notifications so far.

N.B.: When a unit test waits for a certain amount of clock notifications to be requested in wait_for_next_pending_id() or wait_for_multiple_pending_ids() then these functions may block for a long time. If they block forever then the expected clock notifications were never requested from TestClock, and so the assumptions in the code of the unit test are wrong. The unit test case runner in gstcheck is expected to catch these cases either by the default test case timeout or the one set for the unit test by calling tcase_set_timeout().

The sample code below assumes that the element under test will delay a buffer pushed on the source pad by some latency until it arrives on the sink pad. Moreover it is assumed that the element will at some point call gst_clock_id_wait() to synchronously wait for a specific time. The first buffer sent will arrive exactly on time only delayed by the latency. The second buffer will arrive a little late (7ms) due to simulated jitter in the clock notification.

Since TestClock is only supposed to be used in unit tests it calls g_assert(), g_assert_cmpint() or g_assert_cmpuint() to validate all function arguments. This will highlight any issues with the unit test code itself.

Implementations

Creates a new test clock with its time set to zero.

MT safe.

Returns

a TestClock cast to gst::Clock.

Creates a new test clock with its time set to the specified time.

MT safe.

start_time

a GstClockTime set to the desired start time of the clock.

Returns

a TestClock cast to gst::Clock.

Advances the time of the self by the amount given by delta. The time of self is monotonically increasing, therefore providing a delta which is negative or zero is a programming error.

MT safe.

delta

a positive GstClockTimeDiff to be added to the time of the clock

A “crank” consists of three steps: 1: Wait for a GstClockID to be registered with the TestClock. 2: Advance the TestClock to the time the GstClockID is waiting, unless the clock time is already passed the clock id (Since: 1.18). 3: Release the GstClockID wait. A “crank” can be though of as the notion of manually driving the clock forward to its next logical step.

Returns

true if the crank was successful, false otherwise.

MT safe.

pub fn next_entry_time(&self) -> ClockTime[src]

Retrieve the requested time for the next pending clock notification.

MT safe.

Returns

a GstClockTime set to the time of the next pending clock notification. If no clock notifications have been requested GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE will be returned.

Determine the number of pending clock notifications that have been requested from the self.

MT safe.

Returns

the number of pending clock notifications.

Sets the time of self to the time given by new_time. The time of self is monotonically increasing, therefore providing a new_time which is earlier or equal to the time of the clock as given by [ClockExtManual::time()][crate::gst::prelude::ClockExtManual::time()] is a programming error.

MT safe.

new_time

a GstClockTime later than that returned by [ClockExtManual::time()][crate::gst::prelude::ClockExtManual::time()]

When a TestClock is constructed it will have a certain start time set. If the clock was created using with_start_time() then this property contains the value of the start_time argument. If new() was called the clock started at time zero, and thus this property contains the value 0.

Returns

true if the clock has been asked to provide the given clock notification, false otherwise.
