- Line 265: Update the nanozlog README description to qualify the lock-free
claim as applying to steady-state queue writes after setup, and describe
nanozlog as asynchronous rather than implying every producer call avoids mutex
latency. Preserve the existing references to Zig, C++ FmtLog, interval and
one-time logging, and the queue-full callback.

github wyzdwdz/nanozlog producer queue lock-free mutex implementation
💡 Result:
`wyzdwdz/nanozlog` describes its **producer path as a lock-free enqueue into a background queue**, and identifies that queue as **SPSC**—single producer, single consumer. Its README also says the queue is bounded and configurable, with nonblocking behavior by default when full. ([github.com](https://github.com/wyzdwdz/nanozlog))
So, **the producer enqueue is not described as using a mutex**. The README doesn’t establish the queue’s exact atomic operations or memory ordering; for those implementation details, see the repository’s [`src` directory](https://github.com/wyzdwdz/nanozlog/tree/main/src).

site:github.com/wyzdwdz/nanozlog "Mutex" queue producer enqueue Zig
💡 Result:
The repository’s README describes `nanozlog` as a **lock-free asynchronous logger**: the frontend sends log data to a background queue without acquiring locks. It calls the queue **SPSC** (single-producer, single-consumer), so the README does **not** establish a mutex-protected multi-producer enqueue path. It documents what happens when the queue is full—blocking is configurable, and a callback can be invoked—but the exact enqueue implementation wasn’t accessible in the retrieved source.

Qualify the lock-free claim.
Producer queue allocation is lock-free after setup, but the first log from a thread calls preallocate, which acquires _buffer_mutex. The first log at each source location also calls registerLogInfo, which acquires _log_infos_mutex. Without this qualification, readers may expect every producer call to avoid mutex latency.

What
Add wyzdwdz/nanozlog to Logging Processing, as the last entry of the list.
nanozlog is a lock-free asynchronous logging library for Zig, inspired by (and ported from ideas in) the C++ library FmtLog. The calling thread only pushes raw log data into a queue and a background thread formats and writes it, so logging stays off the hot path. It also offers interval logging (at most once per N nanoseconds), one-time logging, a customizable metadata printer and a callback for a full queue. The README says it is aimed at uses such as high-frequency trading and game development; the repository includes benchmarks. The list's other logging libraries are general-purpose or structured loggers; this one targets low-latency asynchronous logging.
Maintenance: created 2026-07-08, last commit and release v0.4.0 on 2026-07-16 (four releases in total), 43 commits, 12 stars, MIT licence, not archived, requires Zig 0.16.0. The project is young and has had no commits since mid-July.
