RingFile
The purpose of this tool is to help debug deadlock problems, that only occur under high-performance scenarios. Because writing log to disk will slow down execution, which makes deadlock hidden without racing conditions met.
This crate provides two abstraction:
RingBuffer: to store byte content in memory when written.
when offset rewinds, new content will overwrite old content,
so that memory consumption is limited to buf_size.
RingFile: to record log content in memory for multi-threaded program. Act as an observer to
analyze concurrency problem. It maintain thread local buffer to avoid lock contention.
Already integrated into captain-log as LogRingFile sink.
