gst_structure_get_float missing?

[Martin Kelly]

Hi,

While looking at the GstStructure API, I noticed that
gst_structure_get_float is missing, although most other GLib types are
present. It appears this has come up once before on the mailing list,
and a workaround was suggested [1]. However, I'm wondering if the
omission is intentional or merely an accident. If it is the latter, I
may submit a patch to add this function.

Thanks,
Martin

Those are helpers around gst_structure_get_value(). So far, only double
were needed, if you need float, you may add them. Be extra careful as
vararg only supports double iirc. There is very little use for float to
be honest.

Got it, thanks. In my case, I'm interfacing with an existing API that
returns a float, so the method would be convenient. However, I can also
store the float as a double instead. It wastes a bit of space but is
otherwise OK.

If I get the time, I'll add the float method. It's not a huge deal, but
having the method would be nice.

Thanks,
Martin
