Description Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2009-06-30 11:56:25 UTC 
Patch adds a new macro GST_DEBUG_CATEGORY_GET to get a log category by name. This
allows plugins to use e.g. core categories like PERFORMANCE or CLOCK.

    xvimagesink: use core performance log category
Comment 4 David Schleef 2009-07-06 22:50:09 UTC 
Wouldn't it be better to just export the categories we intend plugins/apps to use?
Comment 5 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2009-07-06 23:23:52 UTC 
I belive accessing variables accross libraries is not portable. Or do you mean limitting which log categories can be looked up?
It's a debug helper after all, if someone misusses it and does lookups of other plugins log-categories and that breaks one day, its not our fault.
