//
// This header declares a family of LOG macros.
//
// Basic invocation looks like this:
//
// LOG(INFO) << "Found " << num_cookies << " cookies";
//
// Most `LOG` macros take a severity level argument. The severity levels are
// `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, and `FATAL`. They are defined
// in absl/base/log_severity.h.
// * The `FATAL` severity level terminates the program with a stack trace after
// logging its message. Error handlers registered with `RunOnFailure`
// (process_state.h) are run, but exit handlers registered with `atexit(3)`
// are not.
// * The `QFATAL` pseudo-severity level is equivalent to `FATAL` but triggers
// quieter termination messages, e.g. without a full stack trace, and skips
// running registered error handlers.
// * The `DFATAL` pseudo-severity level is defined as `FATAL` in debug mode and
// as `ERROR` otherwise.
// Some preprocessor shenanigans are used to ensure that e.g. `LOG(INFO)` has
// the same meaning even if a local symbol or preprocessor macro named `INFO` is
// defined. To specify a severity level using an expression instead of a
// literal, use `LEVEL(expr)`.
// Example:
//
// LOG(LEVEL(stale ? absl::LogSeverity::kWarning : absl::LogSeverity::kInfo))
// << "Cookies are " << days << " days old";
// `LOG` macros evaluate to an unterminated statement. The value at the end of
// the statement supports some chainable methods:
//
// * .AtLocation(absl::string_view file, int line)
// .AtLocation(absl::SourceLocation loc)
// Overrides the location inferred from the callsite. The string pointed to
// by `file` must be valid until the end of the statement.
// * .NoPrefix()
// Omits the prefix from this line. The prefix includes metadata about the
// logged data such as source code location and timestamp.
// * .WithVerbosity(int verbose_level)
// Sets the verbosity field of the logged message as if it was logged by
// `VLOG(verbose_level)`. Unlike `VLOG`, this method does not affect
// evaluation of the statement when the specified `verbose_level` has been
// disabled. The only effect is on `LogSink` implementations which make use
// of the `absl::LogSink::verbosity()` value. The value
// `absl::LogEntry::kNoVerbosityLevel` can be specified to mark the message
// not verbose.
// * .WithTimestamp(absl::Time timestamp)
// Uses the specified timestamp instead of one collected at the time of
// execution.
// * .WithThreadID(absl::LogEntry::tid_t tid)
// Uses the specified thread ID instead of one collected at the time of
// execution.
// * .WithMetadataFrom(const absl::LogEntry &entry)
// Copies all metadata (but no data) from the specified `absl::LogEntry`.
// This can be used to change the severity of a message, but it has some
// limitations:
// * `ABSL_MIN_LOG_LEVEL` is evaluated against the severity passed into
// `LOG` (or the implicit `FATAL` level of `CHECK`).
// * `LOG(FATAL)` and `CHECK` terminate the process unconditionally, even if
// the severity is changed later.
// `.WithMetadataFrom(entry)` should almost always be used in combination
// with `LOG(LEVEL(entry.log_severity()))`.
// * .WithPerror()
// Appends to the logged message a colon, a space, a textual description of
// the current value of `errno` (as by `strerror(3)`), and the numerical
// value of `errno`.
// * .ToSinkAlso(absl::LogSink* sink)
// Sends this message to `*sink` in addition to whatever other sinks it
// would otherwise have been sent to. `sink` must not be null.
// * .ToSinkOnly(absl::LogSink* sink)
// Sends this message to `*sink` and no others. `sink` must not be null.
//
// No interfaces in this header are async-signal-safe; their use in signal
// handlers is unsupported and may deadlock your program or eat your lunch.
//
// Many logging statements are inherently conditional. For example,
// `LOG_IF(INFO, !foo)` does nothing if `foo` is true. Even seemingly
// unconditional statements like `LOG(INFO)` might be disabled at
// compile-time to minimize binary size or for security reasons.
//
// * Except for the condition in a `CHECK` or `QCHECK` statement, programs must
// not rely on evaluation of expressions anywhere in logging statements for
// correctness. For example, this is ok:
//
// CHECK((fp = fopen("config.ini", "r")) != nullptr);
//
// But this is probably not ok:
//
// LOG(INFO) << "Server status: " << StartServerAndReturnStatusString();
//
// The example below is bad too; the `i++` in the `LOG_IF` condition might
// not be evaluated, resulting in an infinite loop:
//
// for (int i = 0; i < 1000000;)
// LOG_IF(INFO, i++ % 1000 == 0) << "Still working...";
//
// * Except where otherwise noted, conditions which cause a statement not to log
// also cause expressions not to be evaluated. Programs may rely on this for
// performance reasons, e.g. by streaming the result of an expensive function
// call into a `DLOG` or `LOG_EVERY_N` statement.
// * Care has been taken to ensure that expressions are parsed by the compiler
// even if they are never evaluated. This means that syntax errors will be
// caught and variables will be considered used for the purposes of
// unused-variable diagnostics. For example, this statement won't compile
// even if `INFO`-level logging has been compiled out:
//
// int number_of_cakes = 40;
// LOG(INFO) << "Number of cakes: " << number_of_cake; // Note the typo!
//
// Similarly, this won't produce unused-variable compiler diagnostics even
// if `INFO`-level logging is compiled out:
//
// {
// char fox_line1[] = "Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!";
// LOG_IF(ERROR, false) << "The fox says " << fox_line1;
// char fox_line2[] = "A-oo-oo-oo-ooo!";
// LOG(INFO) << "The fox also says " << fox_line2;
// }
//
// This error-checking is not perfect; for example, symbols that have been
// declared but not defined may not produce link errors if used in logging
// statements that compile away.
//
// Expressions streamed into these macros are formatted using `operator<<` just
// as they would be if streamed into a `std::ostream`, however it should be
// noted that their actual type is unspecified.
//
// To implement a custom formatting operator for a type you own, there are two
// options: `AbslStringify()` or `std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, ...)`.
// It is recommended that users make their types loggable through
// `AbslStringify()` as it is a universal stringification extension that also
// enables `absl::StrFormat` and `absl::StrCat` support. If both
// `AbslStringify()` and `std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, ...)` are
// defined, `AbslStringify()` will be used.
//
// To use the `AbslStringify()` API, define a friend function template in your
// type's namespace with the following signature:
//
// template <typename Sink>
// void AbslStringify(Sink& sink, const UserDefinedType& value);
//
// `Sink` has the same interface as `absl::FormatSink`, but without
// `PutPaddedString()`.
//
// Example:
//
// struct Point {
// template <typename Sink>
// friend void AbslStringify(Sink& sink, const Point& p) {
// absl::Format(&sink, "(%v, %v)", p.x, p.y);
// }
//
// int x;
// int y;
// };
//
// To use `std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, ...)`, define
// `std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, ...)` in your type's namespace (for
// ADL) just as you would to stream it to `std::cout`.
//
// Currently `AbslStringify()` ignores output manipulators but this is not
// guaranteed behavior and may be subject to change in the future. If you would
// like guaranteed behavior regarding output manipulators, please use
// `std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, ...)` to make custom types loggable
// instead.
//
// Those macros that support streaming honor output manipulators and `fmtflag`
// changes that output data (e.g. `std::ends`) or control formatting of data
// (e.g. `std::hex` and `std::fixed`), however flushing such a stream is
// ignored. The message produced by a log statement is sent to registered
// `absl::LogSink` instances at the end of the statement; those sinks are
// responsible for their own flushing (e.g. to disk) semantics.
//
// Flag settings are not carried over from one `LOG` statement to the next; this
// is a bit different than e.g. `std::cout`:
//
// LOG(INFO) << std::hex << 0xdeadbeef; // logs "0xdeadbeef"
// LOG(INFO) << 0xdeadbeef; // logs "3735928559"

// DLOG()
//
// `DLOG` behaves like `LOG` in debug mode (i.e. `#ifndef NDEBUG`). Otherwise
// it compiles away and does nothing. Note that `DLOG(FATAL)` does not
// terminate the program if `NDEBUG` is defined.

// `VLOG` uses numeric levels to provide verbose logging that can configured at
// runtime, including at a per-module level. `VLOG` statements are logged at
// `INFO` severity if they are logged at all; the numeric levels are on a
// different scale than the proper severity levels. Positive levels are
// disabled by default. Negative levels should not be used.
// Example:
//
// VLOG(1) << "I print when you run the program with --v=1 or higher";
// VLOG(2) << "I print when you run the program with --v=2 or higher";
//
// See vlog_is_on.h for further documentation, including the usage of the
// --vmodule flag to log at different levels in different source files.

// `LOG_IF` and friends add a second argument which specifies a condition. If
// the condition is false, nothing is logged.
// Example:
//
// LOG_IF(INFO, num_cookies > 10) << "Got lots of cookies";
//
// There is no `VLOG_IF` because the order of evaluation of the arguments is
// ambiguous and the alternate spelling with an `if`-statement is trivial.

// LOG_EVERY_N
//
// An instance of `LOG_EVERY_N` increments a hidden zero-initialized counter
// every time execution passes through it and logs the specified message when
// the counter's value is a multiple of `n`, doing nothing otherwise. Each
// instance has its own counter. The counter's value can be logged by streaming
// the symbol `COUNTER`. `LOG_EVERY_N` is thread-safe.

//
// An instance of `LOG_EVERY_N_SEC` uses a hidden state variable to log the
// specified message at most once every `n_seconds`. A hidden counter of
// executions (whether a message is logged or not) is also maintained and can be
// logged by streaming the symbol `COUNTER`. `LOG_EVERY_N_SEC` is thread-safe.
// Example:
//
// LOG_EVERY_N_SEC(INFO, 2.5) << "Got " << COUNTER << " cookies so far";
