🎨 Log: look up unknown compile-time formatted enum values#930
Merged
Conversation
Problem:
- When an enumeration value is not named, but formatted at compile time, the
resulting log string can potentially be post-processed by the decoder to
recover the actual named enumeration value.
Solution:
- Post-process the log string during decoding and look up an enumeration values
that are available.
For example, given the C++ code:
```cpp
enum struct E {}; // no values
LOG("Value is {}", stdx::ct<E{42}>);
```
The resulting log string is `"Value is (E)42"`.
Even though `E` has no values known to C++, if there is extra information in the
JSON that the decoder can use:
```js
"enums": {
"E": {
"42": "the_answer"
}
}
```
Then the log string can be post-processed during decoding to read `"Value is the_answer"`
