Support for async logging

[gegles]

I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find how to enable async logging via spdlog_setup.

Am I missing something? Is this planned to be supported soon?

Thanks for the feedback, it's not supported at the moment.

It seems like the way it's constructed is not too different from sync, so I might take a look when I'm free and try implementing it.

Thanks, that would be great! That's the one thing stopping from switching to spdlog_setup... I'll see if I find time to contribute a PR, but it would probably a lot faster for you to do it if you get to it.

Any hope of getting this soon? Just trying to plan for our release...

Hey thanks for the wait, the support for async has arrived, the example for async looks something like this:

[global_thread_pool]
queue_size = 8192
num_threads = 1

[[thread_pool]]
name = "tp"
queue_size = 4096
num_threads = 2

# Uses global thread pool
[[logger]]
type = "async"
name = "global_async"
sinks = ["console_mt"]
pattern = "succient"

[[logger]]
type = "async"
name = "local_async"
sinks = ["console_mt"]
pattern = "succient"
thread_pool = "tp"
overflow_policy = "overrun_oldest"  # block (default) | overrun_oldest

Will be prepping this whole thing as a proper 0.3.0 release too.

Wow, now that was fast!!

Thank you so much! This looks perfect!
