Thanks for the heads up.

To be honest, I don't like this at all. You duplicate a lot of code from 
avutil/log, and the implementation has quite a few problems, some of them 
not really fixable.

- creating object IDs in the order the objects log something (what if they
   do not? What if it depends on loglevel?)
- tracking object IDs based on their address - objects are
   allocated and removed at runtime, it is possible that an address will be
   re-used for a different object later on
- linear search of addresses. A long ffmpeg process can constantly create
   objects during runtime, eventually completely depleting the pool and
   causing an extensive search for all future logs.

So overall I don't think it's worth pursuing this, especially since most 
users won't care neither about the ID, nor about the address...

Regards,
Marton
