This commit represents a complete architectural overhaul of the namespaced
logging library, transitioning from a shared-memory approach to a robust
thread-safe design with proper synchronization primitives.
- **NEW**: internal `GlobalLogService` with atomic configuration versioning
- **NEW**: Thread-local configuration caching with freshness checking
- **NEW**: Separate `LogService` (copyable) and `ThreadLocalLogService` (ref)
- **REMOVED**: Manual thread state reloading in favor of automatic freshness
- All shared state protected by locks and atomics
- Configuration changes use atomic version numbers for efficient sync
- Proper cleanup with `=destroy` implementing graceful shutdown
- Thread-safe appender cloning via `clone()` method pattern
- **NEW**: Dedicated writer threads for console and file output
- **NEW**: Channel-based message passing to writer threads
- **NEW**: Batched file I/O with optimized write patterns
- **NEW**: Graceful thread shutdown on service destruction
- **NEW**: Configurable error handling with `ErrorHandlerFunc`
- **NEW**: `defaultErrorHandlerFunc` with stderr fallback
- **NEW**: Thread-safe error reporting with separate lock
- **NEW**: Robust error recovery in all I/O operations
- **NEW**: `autoconfigured` module for zero-config usage
- **NEW**: `formatSimpleTextLog` as default formatter
- **NEW**: Optional logger support for ergonomic usage
- **NEW**: Generic `CustomLogAppender[T]` with state parameter
- **NEW**: `FileLogAppender` with proper multithreaded file I/O
- **BREAKING**: Logger `name` field renamed to `scope`
- **BREAKING**: Configuration methods renamed (e.g., `setRootLevel` → `setRootThreshold`)
- **NEW**: Comprehensive test suite with 20+ test cases
- **NEW**: `testutil` module with thread-safe test infrastructure
- **NEW**: Cross-thread synchronization testing
- **NEW**: File I/O testing with temporary files
- **REMOVED**: Old test suite replaced with more comprehensive version
- Atomic version checking prevents unnecessary config copies
- Writer threads use efficient polling with 100ms idle sleep
- File writer batches messages and optimizes file operations
- Thread-local caching reduces lock contention
1. **API Changes**:
- `LogService` returned by `iniLogService` is fundamentally different
- `threadLocalRef()` required for thread-local operations
- `reloadThreadState()` removed (automatic freshness)
- Logger field `name` → `scope`
2. **Configuration**:
- `setRootLevel()` → `setRootThreshold()`
- `setThreshold()` API simplified
- `clearAppenders()` removed
3. **Appenders**:
- `initThreadCopy()` → `clone()`
- `appendLogMessage()` signature changed
- Custom appenders now generic with state parameter
```nim
let ls = initLogService()
ls.addAppender(initConsoleLogAppender())
reloadThreadState(ls)
let logger = ls.getLogger("app")
logger.info("Hello world")
```
```nim
let ls = initLogService()
let tlls = threadLocalRef(ls)
tlls.addAppender(initConsoleLogAppender())
let logger = tlls.getLogger("app")
logger.info("Hello world")
```
```nim
import namespaced_logging/autoconfigured
addLogAppender(initConsoleLogAppender())
info("Hello world")
```
