Seems weird that we are a C++ codebase and we fall back to C macros. We currently need the macro only for file + line and to also not have to worry about doing "if (log) log->". I am not a big fan of macros, but I am open to it if everyone else wants it.



================
Comment at: include/lldb/Core/Log.h:218-219
+          << llvm::formatv(                                                    \
+                 "{0,-60}: ",                                                   \
+                 (llvm::sys::path::filename(__FILE__) + "::" + __FUNCTION__)   \
+                     .str())                                                   \
----------------
This is hard coding in the file + line all the time. I would like this to be an option. We also need to be able to optionally enable the pid/tid, thread name, stack backtrace and all the other options that are currently supported by "log enable". Seems like we need a log function that exists in Log.cpp to take a log mutex, add the extra log prefix stuff (file + line, pid/tid, thread name, timestamp, delta since last log time, stack etc) and then call the llvm::formatv() one or more times and then release the mutex.


================
Comment at: include/lldb/Host/FileSpec.h:675-677
+  void format(llvm::raw_ostream &Stream, llvm::StringRef Options) const {
+    Stream << this->GetCString();
+  }
----------------
For a good example of what objects can do to help sell this proposal we should handle different values for the Options string. Maybe this to support the following:

Options is empty -> print out full path
Options == "filename" -> print out file name only with extension
Options == "basename" -> print out file name only without extension
Options == "directory" -> print out file directory only
Options == "extension" -> print out file extension only
Options == "volume" -> print out file volume only which will probably only work on windows paths currently
Options == "fullname" -> print out volume + directory + filename, same as default empty string

Then we can format like:


```
FileSpec file("/tmp/foo.txt");
llvm::formatv("{0; filename}", file);
```
