digitalmars.D - Logger For D Design Doc

reply sybrandy <sybrandy gmail.com> writes:
Hello,

As promised, I took some time to create a small document (just a text 
file) to describe a potential logger for D.  Glog was a major influence 
on how the design turned out, though there are some differences.

Please note it's not a 100% solution yet.  Hopefully this is closer to 
what Andrei is looking for.  All I ask is that those that are interested 
in this please take your time when looking this over before responding 
and please do ask questions, comments, etc.

Thanks and enjoy!

Apologies, but it appears I left in a section I should have 
removed...ignore the "NOTES" section that contains a bulleted list.  The 
rest of the document describes everything in that list in better detail.

With regards to timestamps, why not record the timestamp at the time the 
logging call is made and format it later? I would place most of the overhead 
in the writer thread while avoiding the issue of time stamps not reflecting 
the calls to the log functions. BTW, having the lines in the log file out 
of order is a minor issue to me. Having the time stamps not be guaranteed 
to be in the order that the log statement are called would be a major flaw.
