#191 Add QS local filtering to QF_PUBLISH()

[Quantum Leaps]

Currently, publishing of events (QF_PUBLISH() in C and QF::PUBLISH() in C++) don't offer any possibility of applying QS local filter.

This feature request is about adding a possibility to selectively suppress specific publish calls by means of applying the QS local filter. See also discussion thread:

The current design idea for this feature would be to introduce a special type QSpyId for objects used only as "sender" in the QF_PUBLISH(). Here is a use case for this:

#ifdef Q_SPY
    . . .
    static QSpyId const l_clock_tick = { QS_AP_ID + 5 };
#endif

void QF_onClockTick(void) {
    . . .
    QF_PUBLISH(Q_NEW(QEvt, PAUSE_SIG), &l_clock_tick);
    . . .
}

This would allow you to use the QS local filter (QS_AP_ID + 5 in this case) for enabling/disabling the particular QF_PUBLISH(..., &l_clock_tick).

For publishing events from active objects, such as:

QF_PUBLISH(..., &me->super);
this would work as expected, meaning that the QS-filter would be applied to the priority of the active object "me". I hope that this would address your problem.
