Can authors write guides to introduce how we can use this project in the Windows environment?

[thingsareright]

Can authors make a instruction so as to guide other programmers to use tihis project in the Windows environment?

Hi thingsareright,

Unfortunately, the project only supports Linux right now, and I've updated the README.md to reflect this.

However, I believe the only incompatibilities with Windows are NanoLog's usage of POSIX AIO/threads and the assembly rdstc instruction (which can be replaced with std::high_resolution_clock). If you like to make a port and submit it as a pull-request, I would be happy to accept it.

What were the reasons for using posix AIO? Asynchrony is emulated. This doesn't look optimal (just open the glibc code to make sure). In musl in General each operation will create its own thread

Hi Roman-Koshelev,

The decision was made long ago, so I may not remember all the details. However, I believe posix AIO was originally chosen because it was more convenient at the time.

The only other option I had considered back then was the kernel's libaio, but that had requirements about memory alignment and (I think) performed a memory copy in the calling thread. For posix AIO, all I had to do was give it the pointer and byte size of a buffer, and the library would handle the rest; so I chose posix AIO.
