[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 1/3] avutil/log: Replace addresses in log output with simple ids

[softworkz]

From: softworkz <softworkz at hotmail.com>

..and individual numbering. 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
