log: Introduce liblog, the old std::logging This commit moves all logging out of the standard library into an external crate. This crate is the new crate which is responsible for all logging macros and logging implementation. A few reasons for this change are: * The crate map has always been a bit of a code smell among rust programs. It has difficulty being loaded on almost all platforms, and it's used almost exclusively for logging and only logging. Removing the crate map is one of the end goals of this movement. * The compiler has a fair bit of special support for logging. It has the __log_level() expression as well as generating a global word per module specifying the log level. This is unfairly favoring the built-in logging system, and is much better done purely in libraries instead of the compiler itself. * Initialization of logging is much easier to do if there is no reliance on a magical crate map being available to set module log levels. * If the logging library can be written outside of the standard library, there's no reason that it shouldn't be. It's likely that we're not going to build the highest quality logging library of all time, so third-party libraries should be able to provide just as high-quality logging systems as the default one provided in the rust distribution. With a migration such as this, the change does not come for free. There are some subtle changes in the behavior of liblog vs the previous logging macros: * The core change of this migration is that there is no longer a physical log-level per module. This concept is still emulated (it is quite useful), but there is now only a global log level, not a local one. This global log level is a reflection of the maximum of all log levels specified. The previously generated logging code looked like: if specified_level <= __module_log_level() { println!(...) } The newly generated code looks like: if specified_level <= ::log::LOG_LEVEL { if ::log::module_enabled(module_path!()) { println!(...) } } Notably, the first layer of checking is still intended to be "super fast" in that it's just a load of a global word and a compare. The second layer of checking is executed to determine if the current module does indeed have logging turned on. This means that if any module has a debug log level turned on, all modules with debug log levels get a little bit slower (they all do more expensive dynamic checks to determine if they're turned on or not). Semantically, this migration brings no change in this respect, but runtime-wise, this will have a perf impact on some code. * A `RUST_LOG=::help` directive will no longer print out a list of all modules that can be logged. This is because the crate map will no longer specify the log levels of all modules, so the list of modules is not known. Additionally, warnings can no longer be provided if a malformed logging directive was supplied. The new "hello world" for logging looks like: #[phase(syntax, link)] extern crate log; fn main() { debug!("Hello, world!"); }

Utilities for program-wide and customizable logging
This module is used by the compiler when emitting output for the logging family
of macros. The methods of this module shouldn't necessarily be used directly,
but rather through the logging macros defined.
There are five macros that the logging subsystem uses:
* `log!(level, ...)` - the generic logging macro, takes a level as a u32 and any
related `format!` arguments
* `debug!(...)` - a macro hard-wired to the log level of `DEBUG`
* `info!(...)` - a macro hard-wired to the log level of `INFO`
* `warn!(...)` - a macro hard-wired to the log level of `WARN`
* `error!(...)` - a macro hard-wired to the log level of `ERROR`
All of these macros use std::the same style of syntax as the `format!` syntax
extension. Details about the syntax can be found in the documentation of
`std::fmt` along with the Rust tutorial/manual.
If you want to check at runtime if a given logging level is enabled (e.g. if the
information you would want to log is expensive to produce), you can use std::the
following macro:
* `log_enabled!(level)` - returns true if logging of the given level is enabled
## Enabling logging
Log levels are controlled on a per-module basis, and by default all logging is
disabled except for `error!` (a log level of 1). Logging is controlled via the
`RUST_LOG` environment variable. The value of this environment variable is a
comma-separated list of logging directives. A logging directive is of the form:
```notrust
path::to::module=log_level
```
The path to the module is rooted in the name of the crate it was compiled for,
so if your program is contained in a file `hello.rs`, for example, to turn on
logging for this file you would use std::a value of `RUST_LOG=hello`.
Furthermore, this path is a prefix-search, so all modules nested in the
specified module will also have logging enabled.
The actual `log_level` is optional to specify. If omitted, all logging will be
enabled. If specified, the it must be either a numeric in the range of 1-255, or
it must be one of the strings `debug`, `error`, `info`, or `warn`. If a numeric
is specified, then all logging less than or equal to that numeral is enabled.
For example, if logging level 3 is active, error, warn, and info logs will be
printed, but debug will be omitted.
As the log level for a module is optional, the module to enable logging for is
also optional. If only a `log_level` is provided, then the global log level for
all modules is set to this value.
Some examples of valid values of `RUST_LOG` are:
```notrust
hello // turns on all logging for the 'hello' module
info // turns on all info logging
hello=debug // turns on debug logging for 'hello'
hello=3 // turns on info logging for 'hello'
hello,std::option // turns on hello, and std's option logging
error,hello=warn // turn on global error logging and also warn for hello
```
## Performance and Side Effects
Each of these macros will expand to code similar to:
```rust,ignore
if log_level <= my_module_log_level() {
::log::log(log_level, format!(...));
}
```
What this means is that each of these macros are very cheap at runtime if
they're turned off (just a load and an integer comparison). This also means that
if logging is disabled, none of the components of the log will be executed.
