//==================================================================================================
/// This enum is used in \alox to control the "verbosity" or "verboseness" of the log output.
/// The values herein - apart from special value 'Off' - are sorted in the following order
/// - Verbose (highest level)
/// - Info
/// - Warning
/// - Error (lowest level).
///
/// A value of this set is provided to \alox in two different ways:
/// First, all methods of class #"alib::lox::Lox;Lox" that execute a log operation
/// assign a value of this enum to the <em>Log Statement</em>. Secondly, the overloaded methods
/// #"Lox::SetVerbosity(detail::Logger*)", are defining the 'accepted'
/// <em>minimal Verbosity</em> for a pair of <em><Logger/%Log Domain></em>.
///
/// \alox, when executing a statement, checks both values against each other.
/// A <em>Log Statement</em> is executed, when the <em><Logger/%Log Domain></em> setting is set
/// to the same or a 'higher level'. For example, if a <em><Logger/%Log Domain></em> setting is
/// \b %Warning, then <em>Log Statements</em> with associated \e %Verbosity \b %Warning and
/// \b %Error are executed and those with \b %Info and \b %Verbose are suppressed.
///
/// If special value \b %Off is used with #"Lox::SetVerbosity(detail::Logger*);Lox::SetVerbosity", all logging is switched off
/// for this pair of <em><Logger/%Log Domain></em>.
///
/// Some of the <em>Log Statements</em> accept the parameter directly (e.g. #"Lox::Entry",
/// #"Lox::Once(const NString&, Verbosity, const Box&, const String&, Scope, int);Lox::Once", and
/// #"Lox::If(bool, const NString&, Verbosity, BoxedObjects&& ...);Lox::If"), while others
/// inherently use the right value as their method name suggests (e.g.
/// #"Lox::Error",
/// #"Lox::Warning",
/// #"Lox::Info",
/// #"Lox::Verbose" and
/// #"Lox::Assert").
/// The latter group of methods do not support parameter \b %Off.
///
/// If special value \b %Off is used with those <em>Log Statements</em>, that allow to specify the
/// \e %Verbosity as a parameter, the <em>Log Statement</em> is never executed This is useful if the
/// parameter is determined at run-time, depending on the state of an application.
//==================================================================================================
enum class Verbosity : uint8_t
{
    /// Statements with this value associated are never logged (useful if \e %Verbosity is
    /// evaluated at run-time). <em>%Log Domains</em> with this setting do not execute any
    /// <em>Log Statement</em>.
    Off,
 
    /// A \e Verbosity for error messages.
    /// It is suppressed only if a <em>%Log Domain</em>'s setting is \b %Off.
    Error,
 
    /// A \e Verbosity for warning messages, hence things that might lead to errors or are not
    /// welcome for other reasons, but maybe are not errors.<br>
    /// Logged if a <em>%Log Domain</em> is set to \b %Warning, \b %Info or \b %Verbose.
    Warning,
 
    /// The standard \e Verbosity for normal log output statements.
    /// Logged if a <em>%Log Domain</em> is set to \b %Info or \b %Verbose.
    Info,
 
    /// The 'highest' level of \e %Verbosity.
    /// Statements with this value associated are logged only if a <em>%Log Domain</em> is set to
    /// \b %Verbose as well.

//==================================================================================================
/// These are definitions that are used as a parameter to certain \alox methods to denote
/// the \e Scope of a setting. \e Scopes are dependent of the programming language
/// and hence differ slightly from each other in the different versions of \alox.
///
/// This enumeration is an #"ArithmeticalTraits;ALib arithmetical enum". However,
/// the addition of values is only allowed with the last element, \b Path. By adding integer
/// values, the Nth parent directory of a source file's location are addressed. As an example,
/// invocations like this are used to select the source directory two levels above the source
/// code file for a prefix scope:
///
///         lox->SetPrefix( #"> ", Scope::Path + 2 );
///
/// \note
///   \alox for C++ implements scope mechanisms using scope information generated by the
///   preprocessor.
///   By default, debug logging supports such 'caller information', while release logging
///   does not.<br>
///   Therefore, in release-logging, the use of \e Scopes 'Path', 'Filename' and
///   'Method' will just default to an empty scope and therefore the all reflect the same,
///   shared scope, which is not very helpful. Therefore, for standard release logging,
///   the use of the scope mechanisms should be avoided, unless scope information is
///   explicitly enabled.<br>
///   For more information on how to change the defaults, see documentation of preprocessor
///   configuration macros #"ALOX_DBG_LOG_CI" and #"ALOX_REL_LOG_CI".
///
///   For more information on \e Scopes consult the #"alib_mod_alox".

/// This class defines "escape sequences" that influence the formatting of log output.
/// Specific implementations of class
/// #"alib::lox::detail::Logger;Logger"
/// have to convert or interpret this classes definitions of escape sequences
/// when processing log data. If no formatting of the output is supported by a specific Logger
/// implementation, such logger should filter and discard escape sequences defined here.
///
/// The sequences are similar to ANSI Escape sequences and logger classes that
/// log to 'VT100' compatible terminals will simply convert them.
///
/// The name of the class was intentionally chosen to be short, because the escape codes
/// defined with this class will be concatenated to log strings like that:
///
/// \snippet "ut_alox_dox.cpp"     DOX_ALOX_ESC
///
/// \note
///   With the introduction of own, \alox specific escape codes, software that uses ALox becomes
///   independent of any underlying, platform-specific sequences. For example, \alox is not relying
///   on ANSI color codes, which are not supported by colorful Windows consoles. Instead, on each
///   platform, dedicated Loggers will perform the translation of \alox codes to platform-specific
///   ones.
