xine-lib/src/xine-engine/plugin_catalog.h, branch xine-1_0-release

* fix the realloc-bug introduced by me and found by Frantisek

2004-06-23T19:45:52+00:00

* since plugin catalog assumes a limit on plugin count, we should actually
  enforce this limit on plugin loading
* reduce DECODER_MAX from 256 to 128, because PLUGIN_MAX is already 256
  and having only decoder plugins is unlikely

readd the decoder's name to the description of the config entry, but do

2004-06-19T19:48:42+00:00

it right this time: use a different pointer for every decoder by putting the
descriptions into a dynamically growing chunk of heap memory
the name of the decoder in the description is necessary, because frontends
should not have to display the config entry key and this is currently the only
string to contain the decoder's name

public header cleanup:

2003-05-20T13:50:55+00:00

* regulate mutual inclusion based on XINE_COMPILE
* src/xine-engine/spu_decoder.h was unused
  -> make it the spu decoder API header and remove src/libspudec/spu_decoder_api.h
* mark some xine_stream_t members as unused for next cleanup

Siggi and i have an agreement about the preloading. :)

2003-01-03T22:38:25+00:00

now any plugin may add a PLUGIN_MUST_PRELOAD to it's type and
the class initialization function will be called on xine startup.

introduce the catalog cache. saves information from plugins with

2002-12-08T20:53:02+00:00

file size and modification date to ~/.xine/catalog.cache.
next time xine starts the first stage loader won't need to open any libraries,
reducing the loading time. the difference under gdb can be quite dramatic.
note1: xine still have to initialize all input and demuxers on startup.
note2: i have not added post plugins to cache yet.
