Utilities for program-wide and customizable logging
## Example
```
#![feature(phase)]
#[phase(plugin, link)] extern crate log;
fn main() {
debug!("this is a debug {}", "message");
error!("this is printed by default");
if log_enabled!(log::INFO) {
let x = 3i * 4i; // expensive computation
info!("the answer was: {}", x);
}
}
```
## Logging Macros
There are five macros that the logging subsystem uses:
* `log!(level, ...)` - the generic logging macro, takes a level as a u32 and any
related `format!` arguments
* `debug!(...)` - a macro hard-wired to the log level of `DEBUG`
* `info!(...)` - a macro hard-wired to the log level of `INFO`
* `warn!(...)` - a macro hard-wired to the log level of `WARN`
* `error!(...)` - a macro hard-wired to the log level of `ERROR`
All of these macros use the same style of syntax as the `format!` syntax
extension. Details about the syntax can be found in the documentation of
`std::fmt` along with the Rust tutorial/manual.
If you want to check at runtime if a given logging level is enabled (e.g. if the
information you would want to log is expensive to produce), you can use the
following macro:
* `log_enabled!(level)` - returns true if logging of the given level is enabled
## Enabling logging
Log levels are controlled on a per-module basis, and by default all logging is
disabled except for `error!` (a log level of 1). Logging is controlled via the
`RUST_LOG` environment variable. The value of this environment variable is a
comma-separated list of logging directives. A logging directive is of the form:
```text
path::to::module=log_level
```
The path to the module is rooted in the name of the crate it was compiled for,
so if your program is contained in a file `hello.rs`, for example, to turn on
logging for this file you would use a value of `RUST_LOG=hello`.
Furthermore, this path is a prefix-search, so all modules nested in the
specified module will also have logging enabled.
The actual `log_level` is optional to specify. If omitted, all logging will be
enabled. If specified, the it must be either a numeric in the range of 1-255, or
it must be one of the strings `debug`, `error`, `info`, or `warn`. If a numeric
is specified, then all logging less than or equal to that numeral is enabled.
For example, if logging level 3 is active, error, warn, and info logs will be
printed, but debug will be omitted.
As the log level for a module is optional, the module to enable logging for is
also optional. If only a `log_level` is provided, then the global log level for
all modules is set to this value.
Some examples of valid values of `RUST_LOG` are:
* `hello` turns on all logging for the 'hello' module
* `info` turns on all info logging
* `hello=debug` turns on debug logging for 'hello'
* `hello=3` turns on info logging for 'hello'
* `hello,std::option` turns on hello, and std's option logging
* `error,hello=warn` turn on global error logging and also warn for hello
## Filtering results
A RUST_LOG directive may include a regex filter. The syntax is to append `/`
followed by a regex. Each message is checked against the regex, and is only
logged if it matches. Note that the matching is done after formatting the log
string but before adding any logging meta-data. There is a single filter for all
modules.
Some examples:
* `hello/foo` turns on all logging for the 'hello' module where the log message
includes 'foo'.
* `info/f.o` turns on all info logging where the log message includes 'foo',
'f1o', 'fao', etc.
* `hello=debug/foo*foo` turns on debug logging for 'hello' where the the log
message includes 'foofoo' or 'fofoo' or 'fooooooofoo', etc.
* `error,hello=warn/[0-9] scopes` turn on global error logging and also warn for
hello. In both cases the log message must include a single digit number
followed by 'scopes'
## Performance and Side Effects
Each of these macros will expand to code similar to:
```rust,ignore
if log_level <= my_module_log_level() {
::log::log(log_level, format!(...));
}
```
What this means is that each of these macros are very cheap at runtime if
they're turned off (just a load and an integer comparison). This also means that
if logging is disabled, none of the components of the log will be executed.
