Hello!

unique_component_id is defined as a signed integer. In which cases it can be negative? Can it be negative at all?

typedef struct _NvDsObjectMeta { 
  ...
  /** Holds a unique component ID that identifies the metadata
   in this structure. */
  gint unique_component_id;
  ...

Basically, it won’t be negative. Users should be careful not to assign negative values to it.

Thanks!

I guess user can only set it via unique-id property, right? If so, it’s confusing because unique-id is unsigned. Not a big deal, though, we don’t have that many elements in a pipeline to overflow the integer, anyway.
