[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v3 3/4] fftools: Provide a log formatting callback for context prefixes

From: softworkz <softworkz at hotmail.com>

This allows to print logical ids instead of memory addresses.
The benefits are:

- Smaller log file sizes
- The disambiguation is much easier to recognize and to follow
- It eventually allows comparing and viewing log file diffs
  without almost every line being different due to those addresses
