clutchlog's Issues

Add a "{func_fmt}" tag

Would insert a format tag based on the checksum of the current function.

Allow to increase depth at call

Find a way to allow the user to add a depth delta in the main macro.
Would allow to manually adjust indentation within the same function.
Something like: CLUTCHLOG(debug, "this" << that, 2); to add two indentation levels with depth_mark.

Add a "{depth_fmt}" tag

Would allow for having a different color for each stack depth.
Need a configuration on a colormap, maybe an explicit list of 256-colors items?

256-colors

Allow instantiation of fmt with single numeric parameters, to use 256 ANSI colors.

Automatic right alignement of location

Implement automatic right-alignment of the location, when output to a terminal.
Allow a global option for the width of the output, that use the terminal width if available, else defaults to some user-set value.

Potential implementations: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1022957/getting-terminal-width-in-c

Add a ``{time} tag rendering time since first call.

Color depth_mark with depth_fmt

Color each occurence of depth_mark with the corresponding style in _depth_fmts, if set.

Add a "{file_fmt}" tag

Would insert a format tag based on the hash of the current file.
Useful to enable coloring by code "modules".

Would need to know the color mode in which to compute the hash. Probably RGB is too large (too much close colors) and 16-colors too small (too much collisions), so default to 256-colors? (Who has a 4-bits ANSI terminal anyway?)

Add ANSI links support with a "{file_link}" tag

Would allow for a short name display of the file, with an hyperlink to some URL/command.

Configuration like log.file_link("file://{file}",clutchlog::label::path);, then "{file_link}" in the template.

Possible label tags:

• path ("/home/nojhan/file.ext"),
• basename ("file.ext"),
• basestrip ("file"),
• dirname ("nojhan"),
• dirbase ("nojhan/file.ext"),
• dirbasestrip ("nojhan/file").

Find an elegant way to configure non-matching regexp

std::regex does not implements negative lookahead, but a simple API change may allow for filtering on not matching a given regexp.
