8. Tweaking

To squeeze every last drop of performance out of spdlog, the tweakme.h header file can be edited.

Here is an example which let spdlog use Linux's CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE fast clock

// Under Linux, the much faster CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE clock can be used.
// This clock is less accurate - can be off by dozens of millis - depending on the kernel HZ.
// Uncomment to use it instead of the regular clock.

#define SPDLOG_CLOCK_COARSE

// Uncomment if thread id logging is not needed (i.e. no %t in the log pattern).
// This will prevent spdlog from quering the thread id on each log call.
//
// WARNING: If the log pattern contains thread id (i.e, %t) while this flag is on, the result is undefined.
//
// #define SPDLOG_NO_THREAD_ID

// Uncomment if logger name logging is not needed.
// This will prevent spdlog from copying the logger name  on each log call.

// #define SPDLOG_NO_NAME

// Uncomment to enable the SPDLOG_DEBUG/SPDLOG_TRACE macros.

// Uncomment to avoid spdlog's usage of atomic log levels
// Use only if your code never modifies a logger's log levels concurrently by different threads.
//
// #define SPDLOG_NO_ATOMIC_LEVELS

// Uncomment to enable usage of wchar_t for file names on Windows.

// Uncomment to override default eol ("\n" or "\r\n" under Linux/Windows)

// Uncomment to use your own copy of the fmt library instead of spdlog's copy.
// In this case spdlog will try to include <fmt/format.h> so set your -I flag accordingly.
