+ The value is relatively complex; It's a Boost.Preprocessor style sequence of tuples, of which + the first and second elements are again sequences. What this boils down to, is that it allows to + configure compile time logging limits based on stream and optional area. + + The above example disables all debug logging by setting the default log limit for all areas on + the \c senf::log::Debug stream to \c DISABLED. It enables debug logging only within the \c + foo::SomeClass area, where it is set to \c VERBOSE. Lastly, the global compile time limit is set + to \c NOTICE. + + There are two standard uses for this configuration: Either to disable most logging in final + builds by changing the compile time limit to something like senf::log::IMPORTANT or to enable + senf::log::VERBOSE messages for some area: + 
+    # Disable debug logging below 'IMPORTANT' level
+    g++ ... -DSENF_LOG_CONF="(( (senf)(log)(Debug), (_), IMPORTANT ))"
+
+    # Or enable verbose messages for the 'some::Area' area
+    g++ ... -DSENF_LOG_CONF="(( (senf)(log)(Verbose), (some)(Area), VERBOSE ))"
+
+ + All the entries specified via \c SENF_LOG_CONF are applied in a fixed order: + + \li First the entries which have both a stream and an area specified are checked + \li next all entries with area but no stream given are checked + \li followed by all entries with a given stream but no area + \li and lastly if no match was found until now, a generic entry without stream and area is + checked + \li if no matching entry is found, the default compile time limit of the stream is used + + So an area specification has precedence over a stream specification. + + \warning Enabling a message at compile time does \e not ensure, the message is shown.

This is especially true for \c + VERBOSE messages, which are default disabled at runtime. + + \see \ref SENF_LOG_CONF + + \section config_runtime Runtime configuration + + The runtime configuration is performed by routing messages to one or more logging targets: + \code + senf::log::ConsoleTarget & consoleLog (senf::log::ConsoleTarget::instance()); + senf::log::FileTarget fileLog ("my.log"); + + consoleLog.route(); + consoleLog.route(senf::log::Target::REJECT); + consoleLog.route(); + + fileLog.route(); + \endcode + Here we see an already relatively complex setup: All debug messages (that is, those, which are + not disabled at compile time) are routed to the console. We also route important transactions to + the console \e except transactions from the \c foo::SomeClass area. The \c fileLog simply + receives all transaction log messages. + + The routing statements are processed by the targets in order, the first matching rule will + decide a log messages fate for that target. + + \warning You can \e only route those messages at runtime which have been compile-time + enabled. By default, \c VERBOSE messages are \e disabled at compile time. They must be + enabled \e explicitly by setting \c SENF_LOG_CONF so they can be routed. + + \section config_fallback Fallback routing + + There are two cases, where this setup may lead to inadvertently lost log messages: + \li When using a library which does internally use the Logger but not initializing the logger in + your application. + \li When log messages are created during initialization of static objects. + Since no route is set up in these cases, the messages will be dropped. + + To counter this problem, the logger is initially in fallback routing state. If any log + message arrives in this state, the message will be logged to the console if it is above the + default runtime limit of it's stream. The first routing statement on any target will take the + logger out of this state and normal routing will take place. + + \see \ref senf::log::Target + + \section config_timesource Log message timing + + One auxiliary aspect of logging is message timing. Each message is stamped with a time-stamp + giving the exact time the message was created. How the current date/time value is created may be + changed by setting a \e TimeSource. A TimeSource is an instance derived from + senf::log::TimeSource which will return the current universal time (UTC) when called. + + By default, the logging library will call gettimeofday() for each log message.
