[Bug 733187] integrating the tracer branch

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #36 from Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) <ensonic at sonicpulse.de> ---
(In reply to Tim-Philipp Müller from comment #34)
> - gst_tracer_log_trace() is not annotated/documented. Is it supposed to be
> *the* standard function by which tracers communicate results back, or just
> something simple for now that always dumps the data into the debug log?

> - does gst_tracing_register_hook_id() make sense as public API?
>     - it's not performance-critical, so just passing strings is fine
>     - quark table is not exported (good thing too really?)
>     - hook id quarks are run-time generated and basically random instead of
> constant, so an enum might be better if one really wants something like this
> (like the old GstTracerHookId which was removed again)
>     - tracer hooks are looked up in a hash table anyway, might just as well
> use the strings directly as key then if we don't have an array or such

    tracer: make gst_tracing_register_hook_id static

    We don't need to expose this as public API. Change the only plugin that was
    using it.
