Jan Kundrát 1c31800210 cmake: Use a standard option for controlling the tests
As per the docs [1], there's a standard variable for this purpose. This
introduces a behavior change, the tests are now being built by default.

spdlog

Very fast, header only, C++ logging library. Build Status  Build status

Install

Just copy the source folder to your build tree and use a C++11 compiler

Platforms

  • Linux (gcc 4.8.1+, clang 3.5+)
  • Windows (visual studio 2013+, cygwin/mingw with g++ 4.9.1+)
  • Mac OSX (clang 3.5+)
  • Solaris (gcc 5.2.0+)
  • Android

##Features

  • Very fast - performance is the primary goal (see benchmarks below).
  • Headers only, just copy and use.
  • Feature rich call style using the excellent fmt library.
  • Extremely fast asynchronous mode (optional) - using lockfree queues and other tricks to reach millions of calls/sec.
  • Custom formatting.
  • Multi/Single threaded loggers.
  • Various log targets:
    • Rotating log files.
    • Daily log files.
    • Console logging (colors supported).
    • syslog.
    • Easily extendable with custom log targets (just implement a single function in the sink interface).
  • Severity based filtering - threshold levels can be modified in runtime as well as in compile time.

Benchmarks

Below are some benchmarks comparing popular log libraries under Ubuntu 64 bit, Intel i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz

Synchronous mode

Time needed to log 1,000,000 lines in synchronous mode (in seconds, the best of 3 runs):

threads boost log 1.54 glog easylogging spdlog
1 4.169s 1.066s 0.975s 0.302s
10 6.180s 3.032s 2.857s 0.968s
100 5.981s 1.139s 4.512s 0.497s

Asynchronous mode

Time needed to log 1,000,000 lines in asynchronous mode, i.e. the time it takes to put them in the async queue (in seconds, the best of 3 runs):

threads g2log async logger spdlog async mode
1 1.850s 0.216s
10 0.943s 0.173s
100 0.959s 0.202s
