\section log_overview Overview
     
This is an adaptation of the log4c project, which is dead upstream, and
which I was given the permission to fork under the LGPL licence by the
authors. log4c itself was loosely based on the Apache project's Log4J,
Log4CC, etc. project. Because C is not object oriented, a lot had to change.
    
There is 3 main concepts: category, priority and appender. These three
concepts work together to enable developers to log messages according to
message type and priority, and to control at runtime how these messages are
formatted and where they are reported.

\section log_cat Category hierarchy

The first and foremost advantage of any logging API over plain printf()
resides in its ability to disable certain log statements while allowing
others to print unhindered. This capability assumes that the logging space,
that is, the space of all possible logging statements, is categorized
according to some developer-chosen criteria. 
          
This observation led to choosing category as the central concept of the
system. Every category is declared by providing a name and an optional
parent. If no parent is explicitly named, the root category, LOG_ROOT_CAT is
the category's parent. 
      
A category is created by a macro call at the top level of a file.  A
category can be created with any one of the following macros:

 - \ref XBT_LOG_NEW_CATEGORY(MyCat); Create a new root
 - \ref XBT_LOG_NEW_SUBCATEGORY(MyCat, ParentCat);
    Create a new category being child of the category ParentCat
 - \ref XBT_LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_CATEGORY(MyCat);
    Like XBT_LOG_NEW_CATEGORY, but the new category is the default one
      in this file
 -  \ref XBT_LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_SUBCATEGORY(MyCat, ParentCat);
    Like XBT_LOG_NEW_SUBCATEGORY, but the new category is the default one
      in this file
            
The parent cat can be defined in the same file or in another file (in
which case you want to use the \ref XBT_LOG_EXTERNAL_CATEGORY macro to make
it visible in the current file), but each category may have only one
definition.
      
Typically, there will be a Category for each module and sub-module, so you
can independently control logging for each module.

For a list of all existing categories, please refer to the \ref XBT_log_cats section.

\section log_pri Priority

A category may be assigned a threshold priorty. The set of priorites are
defined by the \ref e_xbt_log_priority_t enum. All logging request under
this priority will be discarded.
          
If a given category is not assigned a threshold priority, then it inherits
one from its closest ancestor with an assigned threshold. To ensure that all
categories can eventually inherit a threshold, the root category always has
an assigned threshold priority.

Logging requests are made by invoking a logging macro on a category.  All of
the macros have a printf-style format string followed by arguments. If you
compile with the -Wall option, gcc will warn you for unmatched arguments, ie
when you pass a pointer to a string where an integer was specified by the
format. This is usualy a good idea.

Because most C compilers do not support vararg macros, there is a version of
the macro for any number of arguments from 0 to 6. The macro name ends with
the total number of arguments.
        
Here is an example of the most basic type of macro. This is a logging
request with priority <i>warning</i>.

<code>CLOG5(MyCat, gras_log_priority_warning, "Values are: %d and '%s'", 5,
"oops");</code>

A logging request is said to be enabled if its priority is higher than or
equal to the threshold priority of its category. Otherwise, the request is
said to be disabled. A category without an assigned priority will inherit
one from the hierarchy. 
      
It is possible to use any non-negative integer as a priority. If, as in the
example, one of the standard priorites is used, then there is a convenience
macro that is typically used instead. For example, the above example is
equivalent to the shorter:

<code>CWARN4(MyCat, "Values are: %d and '%s'", 5, "oops");</code>

\subsection log_subcat Using a default category
  
If \ref XBT_LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_SUBCATEGORY(MyCat, Parent) or
\ref XBT_LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_CATEGORY(MyCat) is used to create the
category, then the even shorter form can be used:

<code>WARN3("Values are: %d and '%s'", 5, "oops");</code>

Only one default category can be created per file, though multiple
non-defaults can be created and used.

\section log_example Example

Here is a more complete example:

\verbatim
#include "xbt/log.h"

/ * create a category and a default subcategory * /
XBT_LOG_NEW_CATEGORY(VSS);
XBT_LOG_NEW_DEFAULT_SUBCATEGORY(SA, VSS);

int main() {
       / * Now set the parent's priority.  (the string would typcially be a runtime option) * /
       xbt_log_control_set("SA.thresh=3");

       / * This request is enabled, because WARNING &gt;= INFO. * /
       CWARN2(VSS, "Low fuel level.");

       / * This request is disabled, because DEBUG &lt; INFO. * /
       CDEBUG2(VSS, "Starting search for nearest gas station.");

       / * The default category SA inherits its priority from VSS. Thus,
          the following request is enabled because INFO &gt;= INFO.  * /
       INFO1("Located nearest gas station.");

       / * This request is disabled, because DEBUG &lt; INFO. * /
       DEBUG1("Exiting gas station search"); 
}
\endverbatim

\section log_conf Configuration
Configuration is typically done during program initialization by invoking
the xbt_log_control_set() method. The control string passed to it typically
comes from the command line. Look at the documentation for that function for
the format of the control string.

Any SimGrid program can furthermore be configured at run time by passing a
--xbt-log argument on the command line (--gras-log, --msg-log and
--surf-log are synonyms). You can provide several of those arguments to
change the setting of several categories.

\section log_perf Performance

Clever design insures efficiency. Except for the first invocation, a
disabled logging request requires an a single comparison of a static
variable to a constant.

There is also compile time constant, \ref XBT_LOG_STATIC_THRESHOLD, which
causes all logging requests with a lower priority to be optimized to 0 cost
by the compiler. By setting it to gras_log_priority_infinite, all logging
requests are statically disabled and cost nothing. Released executables
might be compiled with
\verbatim-DXBT_LOG_STATIC_THRESHOLD=gras_log_priority_infinite\endverbatim

Compiling with the \verbatim-DNLOG\endverbatim option disables all logging 
requests at compilation time while the \verbatim-DNDEBUG\endverbatim disables 
the requests of priority below INFO.
 
\section log_app Appenders

Each category has an optional appender. An appender is a pointer to a
structure which starts with a pointer to a doAppend() function. DoAppend()
prints a message to a log.

When a category is passed a message by one of the logging macros, the
category performs the following actions:

  - if the category has an appender, the message is passed to the
    appender's doAppend() function,
  - if 'willLogToParent' is true for the category, the message is passed
    to the category's parent.
    
By default, only the root category have an appender, and 'willLogToParent'
is true for any other category. This situation causes all messages to be
logged by the root category's appender.

The default appender function currently prints to stderr, and no other one
exist, even if more would be needed, like the one able to send the logs to a
remote dedicated server, or other ones offering different output formats.
This is on our TODO list for quite a while now, but your help would be
welcome here.

\section log_misc Misc and Caveats

  - Do not use any of the macros that start with '_'.
  - Log4J has a 'rolling file appender' which you can select with a run-time
    option and specify the max file size. This would be a nice default for
    non-kernel applications.
  - Careful, category names are global variables.
