This module contains the "core" (API) of
bemanitools which includes an abstraction
layer for threads and logging at this time.
The threads API is very close to what
util/thread already was with some structural
enhancements which make it easier to understand
and work with the API, I hope. Some additional
helpers (*-ext module) support in doing common
tasks, e.g. setting up the thread API with other
modules.
The log(ging) part receives a major overhaul to
address known limitations and issues with the
util/log module:
Cleaner API layer
Separate sinks from actual logging engine
Sinks are composable
Improved and cleaner compatibility layer
with AVS logging API
Additional "extensions" (*-ext modules) add
various helper functions for common tasks like
setting up the logging engine with a file and stdout
sink.
The sinks also improved significantly with the file
sink now supporting proper appending and log rotation.
Logging to stdout/stderr supports coloring of log
messages which works across logging engines.
Overall, this refactored foundation is expected to
support future developments and removes known
limitations at the current scale of bemanitools such as:
Reducing boiler plate code across hooks
Interop of bemanitools and AVS (and setting the foundation
for addressing currently missing interop, e.g. for
dealing with property structures without AVS)
Addressing performance issues in the logging engine
due to incorrect interop with AVS
