Logging and error handling

One unfortunate thing when using some third-party libraries is that they usually pollute the console with their own logging mechanisms. CoreStore provides its own default logging class, but you can plug-in your own favorite logger by implementing the CoreStoreLogger protocol.

final class MyLogger: CoreStoreLogger {
    func log(#level: LogLevel, message: String, fileName: StaticString, lineNumber: Int, functionName: StaticString) {
        // pass to your logger
    }
    
    func handleError(#error: NSError, message: String, fileName: StaticString, lineNumber: Int, functionName: StaticString) {
        // pass to your logger
    }
    
    func assert(@autoclosure condition: () -> Bool, message: String, fileName: StaticString, lineNumber: Int, functionName: StaticString) {
        // pass to your logger
    }
}

Then pass an instance of this class to CoreStore:

CoreStore.logger = MyLogger()

Doing so channels all logging calls to your logger.

Note that to keep the call stack information intact, all calls to these methods are NOT thread-managed. Therefore you have to make sure that your logger is thread-safe or you may otherwise have to dispatch your logging implementation to a serial queue.
