//! This crate provides a couple of simple timers that log messages indicating the elapsed
//! time between their creation and dropping. Messages are output via the
//! [log](https://crates.io/crates/log) crate.
//!
//! Timers have names, and the log messages are constructed in such a way that they contain
//! the module, filename and line number of the place where the timer was constructed.
//!
//! Timers are usually created using the `timer!` or `stimer!` macros. The difference is
//! that `timer!` returns a timer that logs a message only when it is dropped, while `stimer!`
//! returns a timer that logs a started message as soon as it is created, and a finished
//! message when it is dropped.
//!
//! In this example "FIND_FILES" is the name of the timer (using all UPPERCASE for the timer
//! name is optional but helps make the name stand out in the log)
//!
//! ```norun
//! use logging_timer::{timer};
//!
//! fn find_files(dir: PathBuf) -> Vec<PathBuf> {
//!     let _tmr = timer!("FIND_FILES");
//!     let files = vec![];
//!
//!     // expensive operation here
//!
//!     return files;
//! } // _tmr is dropped here and a 'TimerFinished' message is logged
//!```
//!
//! Note that you have to assign the result of the macro to a variable, otherwise Rust will
//! drop the returned timer object *immediately*, which is not what you want (you want it to
//! be dropped at the end of scope).
//!
//! You can replace `timer!` with `stimer!` to get a timer that logs a starting message as
//! well, giving you a pair of 'bracketing' log messages.
//!
//! In addition, both timer macros accept [format_args!](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/macro.format_args.html)
//! style parameters, allowing you to include extra information in the log messages.
//!
//! ```norun
//! let _tmr = timer!("FIND_FILES", "Directory = {}", dir);
//! ```
//!
//! # Outputting Intermediate Messages
//!
//! The `executing!` macro allows you to make the timer produce a message before it is dropped.
//! You can call it as many times as you want. A pseudocode example:
//!
//! ```norun
//! use logging_timer::{timer, executing};
//!
//! fn find_files(dir: PathBuf) -> Vec<PathBuf> {
//!     let tmr = timer!("FIND_FILES");
//!     let files = vec![];
//!
//!     for dir in sub_dirs(dir) {
//!         // expensive operation
//!         executing!(tmr, "Processed {}", dir);
//!     }
//!
//!     return files;
//! } // tmr is dropped here and a 'TimerFinished' message is logged
//!```
//!
//! # Controlling the Final Message
//!
//! The `finish!` macro also makes the timer log a message, but it also has the side
//! effect of suppressing the normal drop message.  `finish!` is useful when you want the final
//! message to include some information that you did not have access to until the calculation had
//! finished.
//!
//! ```norun
//! use logging_timer::{timer, executing, finish};
//!
//! fn find_files(dir: PathBuf) -> Vec<PathBuf> {
//!     let tmr = timer!("FIND_FILES");
//!     let files = vec![];
//!
//!     finish!(tmr, "Found {} files", files.len());
//!     return files;
//! } // tmr is dropped here but no message is produced.
//!```
//!
//! # Setting the log level
//!
//! By default both `timer` and `stimer` log at `Debug` level. An optional first parameter to
//! these macros allows you to set the log level. **To aid parsing of the macro arguments this
//! first parameter is terminated by a semi-colon.** For example:
//!
//! ```norun
//! let tmr1 = timer!(Level::Warn; "TIMER_AT_WARN");
//! let tmr2 = stimer!(Level::Info; "TIMER_AT_INFO");
//! ```
//! # Example of Timer Output
//!
//! The overall format will depend on how you customize the output format of the log crate, but as an illustrative example:
//!
//! ```text

//! struct and `[dnscan/src/main.rs/63]` is the filename and number from `Record` - this captures the place where the timer was
//! instantiated. The module is also set, but is not shown in these examples.
