Currently, tests for generate_std_msg() are disabled because of a failure on Windows, they need to be restored.

appTest ::: NOTICE :: main :: 2017-01-26 17:45:47 : Starting application...

Set fixed name length for subsystem name ("appTest" here). The style of the generated output should be better.

A problem occurs if a client closes yall before the other client have finished :

A: yall_init();
B: yall_init();
B: yall_close();
A: YALL_ERR(); -> Library is closed !

• Use Perl script to check coding guidelines
• Check trailing whitespaces

• Are the childs disabled ?
• Macro ? yall_disable(subsys) / yall_enable(subsys) ?

Through set(CMAKE_DEBUG_POSTFIX d)

yall headers are not visible inside Visual Studio (because they are not part of the project inside CMake).

Create a lock free message queue which avoid locking the console or the file.

• This queue must be emptied on closing.
• Add message when writer thread is closed.

TODO :

• Write unit tests

Need to convert char * to std::string

Current license is GPLv2. The problem is that a closed sources project could not use the library, which is blocking. The currently most appropriate license is MIT.

TODO :

• Build Criterion (unit testing) for MSVC 12 : failed. Boxfort which is a depedency of Criterion does not support MSVC < 14
• Run MSVC 12 build on AppVeyor

Instead of :
appTest ::: EMERGENCY :: main :: 2017-01-27 15:41:51 : ApplicationManager failed to initialize
get :
appTest ::: EMERGENCY :: main:186 :: 2017-01-27 15:41:51 : ApplicationManager failed to initialize

The subsystems linked list is not the best way to manage the subsystems as it triggers cache misses when the library try to retrieve a subsystem. Using a plain array would be better, but we have to keep the subsystems hierarchy intact.

Issue #42 would work on the same parts of the code.

This issue can leads to circling reference between two subsystems.

This is not useful, as windows provides atomic CAS through standard variable and other atomic primitives, which is sufficient.

Header format should be customizable to allow different configurations, in a printf manner :
\s :: \d :: \f : will generate <subsystem> :: <date> :: <function> as header.

Remove file in create_subsystem(), add a flag in struct yall_subsystem to find out if the file should be deleted on create but do not use it now (subsystem creation will be to heavy will this flag).

Ex: libyall.so.1.2

Create an application which will read a log file and a configuration, and show the subsystems tree and each log message.

Function / class name sometimes show the return type of the class.

This mode should be enabled in run time.

Clean README.md, set only useful informations and write library documentation inside the GitHub wiki.

Create a function which output the subsystem tree :

main
  |-> test
          |-> subtest
  |-> other

SonarCloud found a bug.

message.h should be included inside yall.h

• C++ version ?
• Buffer size ? Let the caller define its own buffer size through malloc
• Carriage return ?
• Indent each line
• Possibility to add text on the first line

Possibility to load the subsystems configuration from a file

This function must map each error code (yall/errors.h) to a string.

Currently, YALL_DEBUG() and such macros can be called even if the library is not initialized.

Implement callback function for each subsystem, on each log level.
This will allow to call a specific custom function on each subsystem log for each log level (to open a confirmation popup for example).

UPDATE : This a more an "Error management" feature, than a "Logging" feature. It is currently out of scope.

Conditions : Win32
Version : 1.1.0 Release

This subsystem will be defined inside the library and will be used in case of error, if a requested subsystem is not found. It should log data from debug to emerg in a specific file.

The purpose is to have :
appTest ::: NOTICE :: TestClass::main :: 2017-01-26 17:45:47 : Starting application...
instead of :
appTest ::: NOTICE :: main :: 2017-01-26 17:45:47 : Starting application...
