Function Profiling with the logme Library

The logme library includes powerful built-in support for function profiling. One of its strongest advantages is how little effort it takes to start tracing function execution in detail. With logme, you can add a single macro to automatically log: function entry (including its name), function exit, optionally, input parameters, and the return value. This makes

Async Logging Is Not a Silver Bullet — What Actually Limits Performance

Why moving logging to another thread doesn’t make it cheaper — and where the cost really goes Async logging is often treated as an obvious optimization. It isn’t. It just moves the cost somewhere else. This idea sounds simple: synchronous logging blocks, async logging doesn’t — so it must be faster. But once you look
