<WRAP center todo 60%>
Project under development
</WRAP>


===== Requirements =====

Simple, Lightweight and Practical

Log:
  * Strings
  * Integers, Enums
  * Printfs
  * Structures

===== Implementation =====

Single logging function ''log()'' with variable number of arguments will:
  * Copy data into local buffer
  * Notify sink controller


===== Toolchain =====

Altered build process
  - Create list of C files: ''log_listc.py > log_files.auto.h''
  - Preprocess C files ''gcc -E'' 
  - Parse C files looking for log() calls, identify arguments ''log_parsec.py > log_structure.auto.xml''
  - Merge xml files into zip ''log_zipxml.py''
  - (optional) Build binary object from zip to embed into binary ''log_pack.py > log_dictionary.auto.c''
  - Continue build process as usual
