//! Core primitives for `tracing`.
//!
//! [`tracing`] is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect
//! structured, event-based diagnostic information. This crate defines the core
//! primitives of `tracing`.
//!
//! This crate provides:
//!
//! * [`span::Id`] identifies a span within the execution of a program.
//!
//! * [`Event`] represents a single event within a trace.
//!
//! * [`Collect`], the trait implemented to collect trace data.
//!
//! * [`Metadata`] and [`Callsite`] provide information describing spans and
//!   `Event`s.
//!
//! * [`Field`], [`FieldSet`], [`Value`], and [`ValueSet`] represent the
//!   structured data attached to a span.
//!
//! * [`Dispatch`] allows spans and events to be dispatched to collectors.
//!
//! In addition, it defines the global callsite registry and per-thread current
//! dispatcher which other components of the tracing system rely on.
//!
//! *Compiler support: [requires `rustc` 1.63+][msrv]*
//!
//! [msrv]: #supported-rust-versions
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! Application authors will typically not use this crate directly. Instead,
//! they will use the [`tracing`] crate, which provides a much more
//! fully-featured API. However, this crate's API will change very infrequently,
//! so it may be used when dependencies must be very stable.
//!
//! Collector implementations may depend on `tracing-core` rather than
//! `tracing`, as the additional APIs provided by `tracing` are primarily useful
//! for instrumenting libraries and applications, and are generally not
//! necessary for collector implementations.
//!
//! The [`tokio-rs/tracing`] repository contains less stable crates designed to
//! be used with the `tracing` ecosystem. It includes a collection of
//! collector implementations, as well as utility and adapter crates.
//!
//! ### `no_std` Support
//!
//! In embedded systems and other bare-metal applications, `tracing-core` can be
//! used without requiring the Rust standard library, although some features are
//! disabled.
//!
//! The dependency on the standard library is controlled by two crate feature
//! flags, "std", which enables the dependency on [`libstd`], and "alloc", which
//! enables the dependency on [`liballoc`] (and is enabled by the "std"
//! feature). These features are enabled by default, but `no_std` users can
//! disable them using:
//!
//! ```toml
//! # Cargo.toml
//! tracing-core = { version = "0.2", default-features = false }
//! ```
//!
//! To enable `liballoc` but not `std`, use:
//!
//! ```toml
//! # Cargo.toml
//! tracing-core = { version = "0.2", default-features = false, features = ["alloc"] }
//! ```
//!
//! When both the "std" and "alloc" feature flags are disabled, `tracing-core`
//! will not make any dynamic memory allocations at runtime, and does not
//! require a global memory allocator.
//!
//! The "alloc" feature is required to enable the [`Dispatch::new`] function,
//! which requires dynamic memory allocation to construct a collector trait
//! object at runtime. When liballoc is disabled, new `Dispatch`s may still be
//! created from `&'static dyn Collect` references, using
//! [`Dispatch::from_static`].
//!
//! The "std" feature is required to enable the following features:
//!
//! * Per-thread scoped trace dispatchers ([`Dispatch::set_default`] and
//!   [`with_default`]. Since setting a thread-local dispatcher inherently
//!   requires a concept of threads to be available, this API is not possible
//!   without the standard library.
//! * Support for [constructing `Value`s from types implementing
//!   `std::error::Error`][err]. Since the `Error` trait is defined in `std`,
//!   it's not possible to provide this feature without `std`.
//!
//! All other features of `tracing-core` should behave identically with and
//! without `std` and `alloc`.
//!
//! [`libstd`]: std
//! [`Dispatch::new`]: crate::dispatch::Dispatch::new
//! [`Dispatch::from_static`]: crate::dispatch::Dispatch::from_static
//! [`Dispatch::set_default`]: crate::dispatch::set_default
//! [`with_default`]: crate::dispatch::with_default
//! [err]: crate::field::Visit::record_error
//!
//! ### Crate Feature Flags
//!
//! The following crate feature flags are available:
//!
//! * `std`: Depend on the Rust standard library (enabled by default).
//! * `alloc`: Depend on [`liballoc`] (enabled by "std").
//!
//! [`liballoc`]: alloc
//!
//! ## Supported Rust Versions
//!
//! Tracing is built against the latest stable release. The minimum supported
//! version is 1.63. The current Tracing version is not guaranteed to build on
//! Rust versions earlier than the minimum supported version.
//!
//! Tracing follows the same compiler support policies as the rest of the Tokio
//! project. The current stable Rust compiler and the three most recent minor
//! versions before it will always be supported. For example, if the current
//! stable compiler version is 1.69, the minimum supported version will not be
//! increased past 1.66, three minor versions prior. Increasing the minimum
//! supported compiler version is not considered a semver breaking change as
//! long as doing so complies with this policy.
//!
