Only in the\ndestructor is it actually checked whether the given `LogCategory` enables\nthe given log level.\n\nThis is not too efficient, it would be better to skip the log message\nconstruction and all the `operator<<()` invocations if the message will\njust be discarded.\n\nThis could be easily done if the `LOG()` macro accepted its arguments like a\ntraditional function as in that case an appropriate `if` statement can be\ninjected in a do-while loop. However, that is not the case, the `LOG()` macro\nshould effectively \"return\" a stream.\n\nIt is not possible inject an `if` statement directly as that would\nlead to issues:\n\n if (...)\n LOG(...)\n else\n ...\n\nThe `else` would bind the to the `if` in the `LOG()` macro. This is\ndiagnosed by `-Wdangling-else`.\n\nAn alternative approach would be to use a `for` loop and force a single\niteration using a boolean flag or similar. This is entirely doable but\nI think the implemented approach is easier to understand.\n\nThis change implements the early log level checking using a `switch` statement\nas this avoids the dangling else related issues. One small issue arises\nbecause having a boolean controlling expression is diagnosed by clang\n(`-Wswitch-bool`); the result is cast to `int` to avoid the warning.\n\nSigned-off-by: Barnabás Pőcze <barnabas.pocze@ideasonboard.com>\n---\n include/libcamera/base/log.h | 9 +++++++--\n 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)", "diff": "diff --git a/include/libcamera/base/log.h b/include/libcamera/base/log.h\nindex d8338d8df..dbd14951c 100644\n--- a/include/libcamera/base/log.h\n+++ b/include/libcamera/base/log.h\n@@ -108,10 +108,15 @@ LogMessage _log(const LogCategory &category, LogSeverity severity,\n #ifndef __DOXYGEN__\n #define _LOG_CATEGORY(name) logCategory##name\n \n+#define _LOG(cat, sev) \\\n+\tswitch (const auto &_logCategory = (cat); int(_logCategory.severity() <= Log##sev)) \\\n+\tcase 1: \\\n+\t\t_log(_logCategory, Log##sev).stream()\n+\n #define _LOG1(severity) \\\n-\t_log(LogCategory::defaultCategory(), Log##severity).stream()\n+\t_LOG(LogCategory::defaultCategory(), severity)\n #define _LOG2(category, severity) \\\n-\t_log(_LOG_CATEGORY(category)(), Log##severity).stream()\n+\t_LOG(_LOG_CATEGORY(category)(), severity)\n \n /*\n * Expand the LOG() macro to _LOG1() or _LOG2() based on the number of\n", "prefixes": [ "v2", "2/5" ] }
