About:
Rlog is a lightweight C++ library providing a flexible and granular message logging facility. It allows developers to assign different log levels to various parts of an application, which can be enabled or disabled at runtime without recompilation. This modular approach simplifies debugging and reduces the overhead of logging in production environments.

Key Features:

Runtime-configurable log levels
Modular logging channels
Low performance overhead
C++ native integration

Use Cases:

Debugging complex C++ applications with granular output control
Managing logging verbosity in production software

Alternatives:

spdlog – spdlog is a more modern, header-only library with compile-time optimization and higher performance, whereas Rlog focuses on runtime modularity.
glog – glog (Google Logging) provides robust features like crash dumping and signal handlers, while Rlog offers a simpler, more lightweight solution.
