Subject: Modify BaseFormatter to help static analysers
X-Git-Tag: v2017.03.06.00~51
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=115059030653fe6f73e351073097ba1e06507f21;p=folly.git

Modify BaseFormatter to help static analysers

Summary:
This decouples the format-string-parser from the storage of the arguments to be
formatted: a static analyser can now define a class which derives from
`BaseFormatter` with no storage and use `BaseFormatter::operator()` to verify
the syntax of the format string and determine which arguments will be
referenced.

This method of allowing overrides is resolved at compile time; the benchmarks
confirm that there is no run-time difference.
