Porting for a pure C implementation #236

Hi @emilk ,

Thank you for this wonderful and super useful library. I have a pure C application in which I would like to use this logging library. Do we have any C language port available for this library?

If not, please provide me some guidelines, I am interested to port this to pure C library.

I don't think so, man. This is a C++ library. You cannot simply provide a C implementation without rewriting it almost entirely. C++ streams won't be possible and so on. You're better off finding another logging library specifically for C.

Rewritting any mature software will always result in an inmature and maybe buggy software. Making a wrapper would be complicated because of macros usage, some features depend on C++ RAII. Have you tried compiling your C application with a C++ compiler, maybe that is less work
