Replace logging macros by inline functions

[hasselmm]

Shouldn't the logging macros get replaced by inline functions? The currently needed all-upper-case macros look rather disruptive in otherwise all-lower-case code. IMHO. Can prepare a pull request if you agree that this deserves a look.

The PION_LOG_* macros are just redefinitions of other macros used by , and the standard used by Boost libraries is that macros are all uppercase. It sounds like what you have in mind is some new class that uses inlines to wrap the macros. I agree this might make the code look cleaner, but it would also be a rather disruptive change -- maybe not so much in substance, but the diffs would be pretty big. I'd prefer not to try doing this right now.

At some point down the road I would like to try merging in support for . I know there were some proposals for that a few years ago but not sure what became of them. That might be a better time to try refactoring the logging code.

Ok. In the end I also could have that classes at my side. Closing this issue.
