Part (3/3): I'm a Lumberjack and I'm ok.

The Lumber has arrived!

Freshly hewn but unfinished pile of Code Lumber is below, ideal for building your debuggin' & audtin' & tree-house solutions.

The latest versions of the code and doxygen docs are all over at the libfbp git repository github.com/ifknot/libfbp

Part (2/3): I'm a Lumberjack and I'm okay.

With the software design description (SDD) contexts in hand from the previous post here and using a deconstruction of the excellent Dr. Dobbs article "A Lightweight Logger for C++" by Janiszewski (January 31, 2013)[1] as a basis for implementation then given the following observations about that article:

"Logging is a critical technique for troubleshooting and maintaining software systems."[1]

I would also add that logging is a critical technique for recording a variety of metrics when conducting software analysis and experimentation.

Therefore, I need a thread-safe, asynchronous and fast data serializing framework-not only in order to develop libfbp but also to experiment with it.

There are some great libraries out there already[2] but where's the fun and learning in that?
