            Bug ID: 749427
           Summary: Dispose/finalize GST_REFCOUNTING log messages missing
                    poitner of object being disposed/finalized
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)

When GST_REFCOUNTING is enabled, it logs object creation, dispose and
finalization. This is useful for identifying memory leaks in applications that
have not disposed of GStreamer objects correctly.

Currently, the dispose and finalize log messages do not log the address of the
object that they are disposing/finalizing (as shown by the example
GST_REFCOUNTING log lines below):

0:00:00.143050214  2886      0x2215a60 TRACE        GST_REFCOUNTING

0:00:00.143088379  2886      0x2215a60 TRACE        GST_REFCOUNTING

0:00:00.143095991  2886      0x2215a60 TRACE        GST_REFCOUNTING
gstobject.c:411:gst_object_finalize:<bin> finalize
0:00:00.143109050  2886      0x2215a60 TRACE        GST_REFCOUNTING
gstobject.c:411:gst_object_finalize:<registry0> finalize


This makes it very difficult to match up object allocation/dispose/finalize log
messages without "guessing/calculating" which dispose/finalize log messages are
for which objects
