Detailed Description

📝 Logging API with multiple log levels and terminal output control

This header provides a comprehensive logging system with:

• Multiple log levels (DEV, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL)
• File and terminal output with automatic color coding
• Terminal capability detection (16-color, 256-color, truecolor)
• Rate-limited logging macros for high-frequency logging
• Thread-safe logging operations
• Automatic log file rotation when size limit is reached

Note

In debug builds, log macros include file/line/function information. In release builds, this information is omitted.

This module formats named objects in log messages by scanning for hex addresses and replacing them with friendly descriptions from the named object registry when available.

For example:

• Input: "Locked 0x7f1234567890 successfully"
• Output: "Locked mutex: recv_mutex.2 (0x7f1234567890) successfully"

When an address is not registered, it's left unchanged.

Logging Subsystem Architecture

Overview

The ascii-chat logging subsystem provides a comprehensive, high-performance logging system designed for terminal-based applications with multiple concurrent threads and real-time constraints.

Key features:

• Six severity levels (DEV, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL)
• Simultaneous file and terminal output with automatic color coding
• Lock-free memory-mapped logging for high-performance scenarios
• PCRE2-based regex filtering with context display
• Flexible format customization for both console and file output
• Rate-limited and call-count-based logging macros
• Thread-safe logging with optional terminal locking for interactive prompts

System Architecture

The logging system is organized into modular layers:

Log Levels

The logging system defines six severity levels, from most to least verbose:

Level	Value	Purpose	Compile-Time Stripping	Example
DEV	0	Development/trace logs	Strippable in release	Frame timing, buffer state, handshake details
DEBUG	1	Debug diagnostic messages	Strippable in release	Algorithm decisions, state transitions
INFO	2	Informational messages	Strippable via LOG_COMPILE_LEVEL=LOG_WARN	Initialization, connection events
WARN	3	Warning conditions	Strippable via LOG_COMPILE_LEVEL=LOG_ERROR	Recoverable errors, performance concerns
ERROR	4	Error conditions	Strippable via LOG_COMPILE_LEVEL=LOG_FATAL	Failed operations, broken connections
FATAL	5	Fatal errors (program exit)	Never stripped	Out of memory, crypto failure

Key characteristics:

• DEV/DEBUG are compile-time strippable, allowing verbose debug builds while keeping release builds small. Override with LOG_COMPILE_LEVEL=LOG_DEV to keep them.
• INFO/WARN use log_info_every() and log_warn_every() for high-frequency paths (video/audio loops) to avoid log spam while maintaining visibility.
• ERROR/FATAL go to stderr; others go to stdout (unless force_stderr is enabled). This keeps stdout clean for client mode where ASCII art is rendered.

Macro API:

log_dev("Development message");           // Compile-time strippable
log_debug("Debug message");               // Compile-time strippable
log_info("Info message");                 // Production-safe
log_warn("Warning: %d", value);           // Warning condition
log_error("Error: %s", error_msg);        // Error condition
log_fatal("Fatal: exiting");              // Program termination

Message Formatting

The logging system uses a templated formatting system that allows customization of message output while maintaining performance.

Default format (debug mode):

[14:30:45] [DEBUG] [tid:1234] src/client.c:42 in client_init(): Starting client

Default format (release mode):

[14:30:45] [DEBUG] Starting client

Custom format support via log_set_format():

// Compact format
log_set_format("[%time(%H:%M:%S)] [%level_aligned] %message", false);
 
// Detailed format with colors
log_set_format("%color(LOG_DEBUG, [%level_aligned]) %message", false);
 
// Relative file paths
log_set_format("[%time(%H:%M:%S.%microseconds)] %file_relative:%line %message", false);

Format specifiers:

• time(fmt) - Time in strftime format (e.g., H:M:S, Y-m-d)
• level - Log level name (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR)
• level_aligned - Log level padded to 5 chars (for alignment)
• file - Full file path (debug mode only)
• file_relative - Relative file path (debug mode only)
• line - Line number (debug mode only)
• func - Function name (debug mode only)
• tid - Thread ID (debug mode only)
• message - Log message body
• microseconds - Microsecond component of timestamp
• nanoseconds - Nanosecond component of timestamp

Console-only formatting: By passing console_only=true to log_set_format(), the custom format applies only to terminal output. File logging uses the default format, which is useful for preserving readable logs while having fancy terminal colors.

Log Filtering with Grep

The filtering system uses PCRE2 regex to dynamically filter log output, with support for highlighting matched text.

CLI usage:

# Plain regex - matches "error" or "warning" case-insensitive
./ascii-chat server --grep "/error|warning/i"
 
# With context - show 2 lines before and after match
./ascii-chat client --grep "/handshake/C2"
 
# Fixed string search (no regex)
./ascii-chat server --grep "/DEBUG/F"
 
# Multiple patterns - OR logic
./ascii-chat client --grep "/error/i" --grep "/connection/i"
 
# Invert match - show everything EXCEPT matches
./ascii-chat server --grep "/debug|trace/iI"

Supported flags:

• i - Case-insensitive matching
• m - Multiline mode (^ and $ match line boundaries)
• s - Dotall mode (. matches newlines)
• x - Extended regex (ignore whitespace in pattern)
• F - Fixed string literal (no regex, exact match)
• g - Global highlighting (highlight all matches in line)
• I - Invert match (show lines that DON'T match)
• B<n> - Show n lines before match (context)
• A<n> - Show n lines after match (context)
• C<n> - Show n lines before and after (context)

Filter performance:

• Each pattern is compiled once at startup (not on every log)
• Matching uses thread-local storage (no allocations per match)
• Matched text is highlighted with yellow background
• Filtering is applied after formatting, so matches include colored output

Output Routing

The logging system routes messages to different outputs based on level and configuration.

Default routing:

• DEV, DEBUG, INFO → stdout (unless force_stderr enabled)
• WARN, ERROR, FATAL → stderr
• All levels → log file (if configured)

Client mode special handling: Client mode keeps stdout clean for ASCII art rendering by enabling force_stderr:

log_init("client.log", LOG_DEBUG, true, false);  // force_stderr=true

This routes all log messages (including INFO) to stderr, keeping stdout available.

Output control functions:

log_set_terminal_output(false);  // Disable all terminal output
log_set_force_stderr(true);      // Force all logs to stderr
log_disable_file_output();       // Disable file output, use stderr fallback

Buffering for interactive prompts: When prompting for user input (passwords, yes/no questions), use terminal locking to ensure clean output:

bool prev = log_lock_terminal();      // Lock out other threads
fputs("Enter password: ", stdout);
// user types input
log_unlock_terminal(prev);             // Unlock and flush buffered logs

Performance Characteristics

The logging system is designed for low-latency, high-throughput scenarios common in real-time multimedia applications.

Lock-free mmap mode (recommended for production):

• File output: Lock-free atomic operations on mmap'd memory
• Terminal output: Atomic fprintf/fwrite (no mutex held)
• No contention: Multiple threads can log simultaneously without blocking
• Crash-safe: Text written directly to file, readable after crash
• Performance: ~5-10 microseconds per log message (x86-64)

Mutex-based mode (fallback):

• Single mutex protects both file and terminal output
• Suitable for applications with low logging volume
• Fallback when mmap initialization fails

Optimizations for high-frequency logging:

// Log at most once per second (1,000,000 microseconds)
log_info_every(1000000, "Frame buffer utilization: %d%%", percent);
 
// Log every 60th call (for 60 FPS, logs ~1x per second)
log_debug_nth(60, "Processing frame %zu", frame_count);
 
// Log exactly once per session
log_info_once("Client connected from %s", client_address);

Memory usage:

• Terminal buffer: 64 KB maximum (256 buffered entries)
• Single message: 4 KB maximum (truncated if exceeded)
• File buffer: Variable (mmap mode) or unbuffered
• Per-format specifier: ~100 bytes compiled size

CPU characteristics:

• Message formatting: ~2-5% of CPU in typical scenarios
• PCRE2 filtering: <1% overhead for simple patterns
• Terminal color detection: One-time cost at startup
• Rate-limited macros: Atomic operations only (no syscalls)

Appropriate Use Cases

Good use cases for logging:

• Connection lifecycle events (connected, disconnected, handshake)
• Configuration changes or mode transitions
• Recoverable errors and retry attempts
• Performance metrics and statistics (with rate limiting)
• Authentication and security events
• Frame drops or quality degradation
• Shader compilation or resource loading

Poor use cases (leads to spam):

• Every video frame processed (use log_nth or log_every)
• Every byte received (use log_every instead)
• Every mutex acquisition/release (use log_once or don't log)
• Every packet in a high-frequency network loop (use sampling)

Performance-sensitive code patterns:

// ❌ BAD: 60 logs per second (60 FPS scenario)
void process_frame(void) {
    log_debug("Processing frame %zu", frame_count);
}
 
// ✅ GOOD: 1 log per second using rate limiting
void process_frame(void) {
    log_debug_every(1000000, "Processed %zu frames", frame_count);
}
 
// ✅ GOOD: 1 log per 60 frames using call counting
void process_frame(void) {
    log_debug_nth(60, "Processing frames (batch complete)");
}

Error Handling in Logs

The logging system integrates with the application's error tracking system. For critical failures, use SET_ERRNO() to capture error context:

// Set errno with context message
if (crypto_failed) {
    log_error("Crypto handshake failed: %s", reason);
    return SET_ERRNO(ERROR_CRYPTO_FAILED, "Key exchange timeout");
}
 
// Check and log errors from other functions
asciichat_error_t result = process_network_packet();
if (result != ASCIICHAT_OK) {
    log_error("Network error: %d", result);
    return result;
}

Initialization and Shutdown

Standard initialization (debug mode):

log_init("output.log",           // Log file path
         LOG_DEBUG,              // Minimum log level
         false,                  // force_stderr: no (INFO to stdout)
         false);                 // use_mmap: no (use mutex-based)

Production initialization (server mode with mmap):

log_init("/var/log/asciichat.log",
         LOG_INFO,               // Only INFO and above
         false,                  // Normal routing
         true);                  // use_mmap: yes (lock-free)
 
// Optionally upgrade to lock-free mode
log_enable_mmap("/var/log/asciichat.log");

Client mode (keep stdout clean):

log_init("client.log",
         LOG_DEBUG,
         true,                   // force_stderr: yes
         false);

Graceful shutdown:

// Disable console output, keep file logging for shutdown messages
log_shutdown_begin();
log_info("Shutting down server");
log_info("All clients disconnected");
log_shutdown_end();
 
// Destroy logging system
log_destroy();

Thread Safety

All logging functions are thread-safe:

• log_msg() - Safe to call from any thread
• log_set_level() - Safe to call while logging active
• log_lock_terminal() - Safe for nested calls
• Rate-limited macros - Atomic operations ensure correctness

Interactive prompt pattern:

// Thread 1 (main thread) - handle user input
bool prev = log_lock_terminal();
char *password = getpass("Password: ");
log_unlock_terminal(prev);
// Now buffered logs from other threads are flushed
 
// Thread 2 (network thread) - can log normally
log_info("Received %d bytes", packet_size);  // Buffered during lock

Debugging with Logs

Enable verbose logging:

# -V increases verbosity (can be stacked)
./ascii-chat --log-level debug -V server
./ascii-chat -VVV client  # Maximum verbosity with DEV level

Log to file for analysis:

./ascii-chat --log-file debug.log server
# Or using CLI options
./ascii-chat --log-level dev --log-file debug.log server

Filter logs during execution:

# Watch crypto handshake
./ascii-chat --log-level debug server --grep "/handshake|crypto/ig"
 
# See only errors and warnings with context
./ascii-chat client --grep "/error|warn/iC3"
 
# Monitor specific component
./ascii-chat server --grep "/\\‍[AUDIO\\‍]/i"

Post-mortem analysis (from log file):

# Check for errors
grep -i error debug.log
 
# Find performance issues
grep "timeout\|delay\|slow" debug.log
 
# Track connection lifecycle
grep "connected\|disconnected\|handshake" debug.log

Code Examples

Basic logging:

log_info("Server started on port %d", 27224);
log_warn("Connection timeout after %d seconds", timeout);
log_error("Failed to bind socket: %s", strerror(errno));

Conditional logging:

if (verbose_mode) {
    log_debug("Processing frame %zu in %llu µs", frame_num, elapsed_us);

  } while (0)

Rate-limited logging macro (thread-safe).

Logs at most once per specified time interval. Useful for threads that have an FPS and functions they call to prevent spammy logs.

Parameters

log_level	Log level (DEV, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL)
interval_us	Minimum microseconds between log messages
fmt	Format string (printf-style)
...	Format arguments

Note

Each call site maintains its own static atomic timer, so different call sites can log independently. Thread-safe via atomic compare-exchange.

Uses platform_get_monotonic_time_us() for cross-platform time.

Log every nth call to this code location (thread-safe).

Logs a message every nth time the code is executed. Useful for logging periodic events in tight loops without spamming the log. For example, log_nth(INFO, 1000, "Processed items") logs every 1000 calls.

Each call site maintains its own static counter, so different call sites can log independently at different frequencies.

Parameters

log_level	Log level (DEV, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL)
n	Log every nth call (1 = every call, 2 = every 2nd call, etc.)
fmt	Format string (printf-style)
...	Format arguments

Note

Thread-safe via atomic fetch_add.

Log exactly once per call site (thread-safe).

Logs a message exactly once, no matter how many times the code is executed. Each call site maintains its own static counter, so different call sites can log independently.

Useful for one-time initialization messages, warnings, or debug output that should only appear once per session.

Parameters

log_level	Log level (DEV, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, FATAL)
fmt	Format string (printf-style)
...	Format arguments

Note

Thread-safe via atomic operations.

Function Documentation

colorize_named_string()

const char * colorize_named_string

(

const char *

name_str

)

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/named.h>

Colorize a "type/name" string for display.

Parameters

name_str

String in "type/name" or "type/name.id" format

Returns

Colorized string with ANSI codes: type(yellow)/name(blue)

Used by memory report and other displays to colorize named objects. Applies colors:

• Type: yellow (LOG_COLOR_WARN)
• Name: blue (LOG_COLOR_DEV)
• Separator: uncolored

Example: "thread/splash_anim.0" displays with type in yellow, name in blue

Note

Returns pointer to rotating static buffer (4 buffers)

Safe to use in printf-style calls: "%s"

Colorize a "type/name" string for display.

Parameters

name_str

String in "type/name (0xaddress)" format (e.g., "thread/splash_anim.0 (0x7f123456)")

Returns

Colorized string with ANSI codes: type(yellow)/name(blue) (id(grey))

Used by memory report to colorize named object display. Returns a pointer to a static rotating buffer (4 buffers, valid until next call).

Example: "thread/splash_anim.0 (0x7f123456)" displays with:

• "thread" in yellow
• "splash_anim.0" in blue
• "0x7f123456" in grey

log_enable_mmap()

asciichat_error_t log_enable_mmap

(

const char *

log_path

)

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/log.h>

Enable lock-free mmap-based logging.

When enabled, log messages bypass the mutex and use atomic operations to write directly to a memory-mapped log file as human-readable text.

Benefits:

• No mutex contention between logging threads
• Crash-safe: text is written directly to mmap'd file, readable after crash
• Fast path uses atomic fetch_add, no locks
• ERROR/FATAL messages sync immediately for visibility
• Simple: log file IS the mmap file (no separate binary format)

Parameters

log_path

Path to the log file (will be memory-mapped)

Returns

ASCIICHAT_OK on success, error code on failure

Note

Call log_init() first, then log_enable_mmap() to upgrade to lock-free

void log_init	(	const char *	filename,

Parameters

filename	Log file path (or NULL for no file logging)
level	Minimum log level to output
force_stderr	If true, route ALL logs to stderr (for client mode to keep stdout clean)
use_mmap	If true, use fully lock-free mmap logging (recommended). If mmap fails, uses stderr only (no mutex fallback).

Note

When use_mmap=true, the entire logging path is lock-free:

• File output uses atomic operations on mmap'd memory
• Terminal output uses atomic fprintf/fwrite to fd
• No mutex is ever acquired in the hot path

log_lock_terminal()

bool log_lock_terminal

(

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/log.h>

Lock terminal output for exclusive access by the calling thread.

Call this before interactive prompts (like password entry, yes/no questions) to ensure only the calling thread can output to the terminal. Other threads' log messages will be buffered and flushed when the terminal is unlocked.

While locked:

• The locking thread can use log_plain() to write to terminal
• Other threads' log messages go to log file and are buffered
• Buffered messages are flushed to terminal on unlock

Must be paired with log_unlock_terminal().

Returns

The previous terminal lock state (for nested calls)

log_named_format_message()

int log_named_format_message	(	const char *	message,
		char *	output,
		size_t	output_size )

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/named.h>

Format hex addresses in a message as named object descriptions.

Parameters

message	Input message (may contain hex addresses like 0x123456)
output	Output buffer for formatted message
output_size	Size of output buffer (must be > 0)

Returns

Length of output string (excluding null terminator) if any formatting was applied, -1 if no formatting was applied or on error

Scans the input message for hex addresses in the format 0x[0-9a-fA-F]+. For each address found, checks the named object registry. If registered, replaces the address with "type: name (0xaddress)" format. If not registered, leaves the original hex address unchanged.

The output buffer is always null-terminated.

Note

The formatting is idempotent - applying it twice gives the same result

This function is efficient for messages with few hex addresses (common case)

Works correctly with 32-bit and 64-bit address formats

log_named_format_or_original()

const char * log_named_format_or_original

(

const char *

message

)

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/named.h>

Format named objects in a message (thread-local buffer).

Parameters

message

Input message

Returns

Formatted message string if any formatting was applied, original message if no formatting was applied

Convenience wrapper that handles buffer management internally using a thread-local buffer. The returned pointer is valid only until the next call to this function from the same thread.

Safe to use directly in log macros:

log_info("State: %s", log_named_format_or_original(msg));

Note

Maximum formatted message length is 4096 bytes

If format buffer overflows, returns original message

Parameters

message

Input message

Returns

Formatted message string (thread-local buffer, valid only until next call)

Convenience wrapper that uses a thread-local buffer internally. Applies formatting iteratively until the message stops changing (fixpoint). Returns the original message if no formatting was applied.

log_recolor_plain_entry()

size_t log_recolor_plain_entry	(	const char *	plain_line,
		char *	colored_buf,
		size_t	buf_size )

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/log.h>

Recolor a plain (non-colored) log line with proper ANSI codes.

Converts a plain text log line (from log file) into a colored version matching the format used for terminal output. Applies colors to:

• Timestamp and level based on log level
• Thread ID in grey
• File path in cyan
• Line number in magenta
• Function name in orange/DEV color
• Message body colorized appropriately

Expected plain format (debug mode): [TIMESTAMP] [LEVEL] [tid:THREAD_ID] FILE:LINE in FUNC(): MESSAGE

Parameters

plain_line	Plain text log line (from log file)
colored_buf	Output buffer for colored version (must be large enough)
buf_size	Size of colored_buf

Returns

Length of colored string, 0 on error or invalid format

Note

Uses static buffer internally, result is reused across calls

Parses plain log format: [TIMESTAMP] [LEVEL] [tid:THREAD_ID] FILE:LINE in FUNC(): MESSAGE And recolors it with appropriate ANSI codes matching the colored format.

log_set_flush_delay()

void log_set_flush_delay

(

unsigned int

delay_ms

)

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/log.h>

Set the delay between flushing buffered log entries.

When terminal output is re-enabled after an interactive prompt, buffered log entries are flushed to the terminal. This setting adds a delay between each entry for a visual animation effect.

Parameters

delay_ms

Delay in milliseconds between each log entry (0 = no delay)

Definition at line 849 of file log.c.

log_set_force_stderr()

void log_set_force_stderr

(

bool

enabled

)

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/log.h>

Force all terminal log output to stderr.

Parameters

enabled

true to force all logs to stderr, false for normal routing

When enabled, all log messages (including INFO, DEBUG, DEV) go to stderr instead of the default behavior where INFO/DEBUG/DEV go to stdout and WARN/ERROR/FATAL go to stderr. This is used by the client to keep stdout clean for ASCII art output.

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/log.h>

Set a custom log format string.

Parameters

format_str	Format string with specifiers like time(H:M:S), level, message, etc. Pass NULL to use default format. Empty string "" also uses default.
console_only	If true, apply format only to console output (file logs use default)

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/format.h>

Apply format to a log entry and write result to buffer.

Parameters

format	Compiled format (from log_template_parse)
buf	Output buffer
buf_size	Output buffer size
level	Log level
timestamp	Pre-formatted timestamp string
file	Source file name (or NULL)
line	Source line number (or 0)

tid	Thread ID
message	Log message text
use_colors	If true, apply ANSI color codes
time_nanoseconds	Raw wall-clock time in nanoseconds (for microseconds and nanoseconds)

Returns

Number of characters written (excluding null terminator), or -1 on error

Renders the compiled format using provided log entry values. Evaluates each specifier and writes results to output buffer.

Example:

log_template_t *fmt = log_template_parse("[%time(%H:%M:%S)] [%level] %microseconds %message", false);

log_template_parse()

log_template_t * log_template_parse	(	const char *	format_str,
		bool	console_only )

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/format.h>

Parse a format string into compiled format structure.

Parameters

format_str	Format string (e.g., "[%time(%H:%M:%S)] [%level_aligned] %message")
console_only	If true, format applies only to console (not file)

Returns

Compiled format, or NULL on parse error

Parses format string and compiles it into efficient specifier array. Format string must be valid UTF-8. Returns NULL on:

• Invalid UTF-8 in format string
• Invalid format specifiers
• Malformed time(format) syntax
• Memory allocation failure

Note

Errors are logged with details about what failed

		int	line,
		const char *	func,
		const char *	colored_message,
		const char *	plain_message )

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/log.h>

Write semantically colored terminal text without persistent logging.

Parameters

level	Severity used for terminal routing and JSON console output
colored_message	Message containing semantic ANSI colors
plain_message	Equivalent message without ANSI colors

This is the terminal-only counterpart to log_colored_msg().

#include <include/ascii-chat/log/log.h>

Log a message to terminal only (no file output).

Parameters

level	Log level (LOG_DEV, LOG_DEBUG, LOG_INFO, LOG_WARN, LOG_ERROR, LOG_FATAL)
file	Source file name (or NULL to omit)
line	Source line number (or 0 to omit)
func	Function name (or NULL to omit)
fmt	Format string (printf-style)
...	Format arguments

Logs to terminal only, skipping file/mmap output. WARN/ERROR/FATAL go to stderr, other levels go to stdout (unless force_stderr is enabled).
