This replaces the epee and data_loggers logging systems with
a single one, and also adds filename:line and explicit severity
levels. Categories may be defined, and logging severity set
by category (or set of categories). epee style 0-4 log level
maps to a sensible severity configuration. Log files now also
rotate when reaching 100 MB.
To select which logs to output, use the MONERO_LOGS environment
variable, with a comma separated list of categories (globs are
supported), with their requested severity level after a colon.
If a log matches more than one such setting, the last one in
the configuration string applies. A few examples:
This one is (mostly) silent, only outputting fatal errors:
MONERO_LOGS=*:FATAL
This one is very verbose:
MONERO_LOGS=*:TRACE
This one is totally silent (logwise):
MONERO_LOGS=""
This one outputs all errors and warnings, except for the
"verify" category, which prints just fatal errors (the verify
category is used for logs about incoming transactions and
blocks, and it is expected that some/many will fail to verify,
hence we don't want the spam):
MONERO_LOGS=*:WARNING,verify:FATAL
Log levels are, in decreasing order of priority:
FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG, TRACE
Subcategories may be added using prefixes and globs. This
example will output net.p2p logs at the TRACE level, but all
other net* logs only at INFO:
MONERO_LOGS=*:ERROR,net*:INFO,net.p2p:TRACE
Logs which are intended for the user (which Monero was using
a lot through epee, but really isn't a nice way to go things)
should use the "global" category. There are a few helper macros
for using this category, eg: MGINFO("this shows up by default")
or MGINFO_RED("this is red"), to try to keep a similar look
and feel for now.
Existing epee log macros still exist, and map to the new log
levels, but since they're used as a "user facing" UI element
as much as a logging system, they often don't map well to log
severities (ie, a log level 0 log may be an error, or may be
something we want the user to see, such as an important info).
In those cases, I tried to use the new macros. In other cases,
I left the existing macros in. When modifying logs, it is
probably best to switch to the new macros with explicit levels.
The --log-level options and set_log commands now also accept
category settings, in addition to the epee style log levels.
By default the flag is enabled whenever libunwind is found on the
system, with the exception of static build on OSX (for which we can't
install the throw hook #932 due to lack of support for --wrap in OSX
ld64 linker).
Tested that it builds with:
gcc 6.1.1, STATIC=OFF,i686
gcc 6.1.1, STATIC=OFF,armv7h
clang 3.8, STATIC=OFF,i686
clang 3.8, STATIC=OFF,armv7h
gcc 6.1.1, STATIC=ON,i686
clang 3.8, STATIC=ON,i686
Also tested that stack trace is generated fine on exception on:
i686, gcc 6.1.1, STATIC=OFF
(didn't bother testing all the other platforms/configs)
This should fix the build problem on OSX (#871, #901), but
I don't have OSX, so I could only test Clang on Linux.
The former was a faulty "fix" for gmtime_r not existing on Windows. The latter is needed only for dynamic builds, and is not included with msys2, which ends up fine because Windows is only built static at this time.
