638375 - Replace NSPR-based logging with something more multi-process friendly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 801209

(Core :: IPC, defect)

Description

[Jason Duell]

A number of things make NSPR-based logging undesirable under e10s (see bug 534764, bug 628563, bug 632007).

We should look at what Chrome does and/or implement some other solution that gives us happy, interleaved logs.

Putting in Core::IPC because I can't think of a better place for it.

Chrome appears to be using a hand-rolled logging setup that looks a lot like glog:

Fwiw, I would be reasonably happy wth per-process logs, if that's easier.  And maybe even if it's harder.
