// A static non-allocating ring-buffer to hold the most recent log events.
// This class is really an implementation detail of logging.cc. The only reason
// why is fully defined in a dedicated header is for allowing unittesting,
// without leaking extra headers into logging.h (which is a high-fanout header).
// This is used to report the last logs in a crash report when a CHECK/FATAL
// is encountered.
// This class has just an Append() method to insert events into the buffer and
// a Read() to read the events in FIFO order. Read() is non-destructive.
//
// Thread safety considerations:
// - The Append() method can be called concurrently by several threads, unless
//   there are > kLogRingBufEntries concurrent threads. Even if that happens,
//   case some events will contain a mix of strings but the behavior of
//   futher Append() and Read() is still defined.
// - The Read() method is not thread safe but it's fine in practice. Even if
//   it's called concurrently with other Append(), it only causes some partial
//   events to be emitted in output.
// In both cases, we never rely purely on \0, all operations are size-bound.
//
// See logging_unittest.cc for tests.
