+// Summary:
+// Async Logging is working on the basis of singleton AsyncLogWriter, which manages an intermediate buffer and a flushing thread.
+//
+// Interface:
+//
+// initialize() is called once when JVM is initialized. It creates and initializes the singleton instance of AsyncLogWriter.
+// Once async logging is established, there's no way to turn it off.
+//
+// instance() is MT-safe and returns the pointer of the singleton instance if and only if async logging is enabled and has well
+// initialized. Clients can use its return value to determine async logging is established or not.
+//
+// The basic operation of AsyncLogWriter is enqueue(). 2 overloading versions of it are provided to match LogOutput::write().
+// They are both MT-safe and non-blocking. Derived classes of LogOutput can invoke the corresponding enqueue() in write() and
+// return 0. AsyncLogWriter is responsible of copying neccessary data.
+//
+// The static member function flush() is designated to flush out all pending messages when JVM is terminating.
+// In normal JVM termination, flush() is invoked in LogConfiguration::finalize(). flush() is MT-safe and can be invoked arbitrary
+// times. It is no-op if async logging is not established.
