Hi Laurent Pinchart,

I have sent out v3. Can you help check if build issue is gone? Thanks.

Regards,
Qi Hou

I'm afraid this patch breaks compilation with clang 18 and 19 :-(

../../src/gstreamer/gstlibcamerasrc.cpp:436:36: error: variable length arrays in C++ are a Clang extension [-Werror,-Wvla-cxx-extension]
  436 |         GstVideoTransferFunction transfer[state->srcpads_.size()];
      |                                           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
../../src/gstreamer/gstlibcamerasrc.cpp:436:36: note: read of non-constexpr variable 'state' is not allowed in a constant expression
../../src/gstreamer/gstlibcamerasrc.cpp:435:24: note: declared here
  435 |         GstLibcameraSrcState *state = self->state;
      |

I've now enabled build tests with clang 19 in CI, see
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/camera/libcamera/-/pipelines/1330267 for a full test report.

Hou, could I ask you for a v3 that addresses those issues, as well as the couple of comments below ?
