## Description

The logging record encapsulates all information related to a single logging statement, in particular, attribute values view and the log message string. The view is immutable, it is implemented as a wrapper around a reference-counted implementation.

### `record_view` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     record_view();

   Default constructor. Creates an empty record view that is equivalent to the invalid record handle.

   Postconditions: | `!*this == true`

2.     record_view(record_view const & that) noexcept;

   Copy constructor

3.     record_view(record_view && that) noexcept;

   Move constructor. Source record contents unspecified after the operation.

4.     record_view & operator=(record_view const & that) noexcept;

   Copy assignment

5.     record_view & operator=(record_view && that) noexcept;

   Move assignment. Source record contents unspecified after the operation.

6.     ~record_view();

   Destructor. Destroys the record, releases any sinks and attribute values that were involved in processing this record.

### `record_view` public member functions

1.     attribute_value_set const & attribute_values() const noexcept;

   Requires: | `!!*this`
   Returns: | A reference to the set of attribute values attached to this record

2.     bool operator==(record_view const & that) const noexcept;

   Equality comparison

   Parameters:

   `that` | Comparand

   Returns: | `true` if both `*this` and that identify the same log record or both do not identify any record, `false` otherwise.

3.     bool operator!=(record_view const & that) const noexcept;

   Inequality comparison

   Parameters:

   `that` | Comparand

   Returns: | `!(*this == that)`

4.     explicit operator bool() const noexcept;

   Conversion to an unspecified boolean type

   Returns: | `true`, if the `*this` identifies a log record, `false`, if the `*this` is not valid

5.     bool operator!() const noexcept;

   Inverted conversion to an unspecified boolean type

   Returns: | `false`, if the `*this` identifies a log record, `true`, if the `*this` is not valid

6.     void swap(record_view & that) noexcept;

   Swaps two handles

   Parameters:

   `that` | Another record to swap with Throws: Nothing

7.     void reset() noexcept;

   Resets the log record handle. If there are no other handles left, the log record is closed and all resources referenced by the record are released.

   Postconditions: | `!*this == true`

8.     attribute_value_set::mapped_type
       operator[](attribute_value_set::key_type name) const;

   Attribute value lookup.

   Parameters:

   `name` | Attribute name.

   Returns: | An `attribute_value`, non-empty if it is found, empty otherwise.

9.     template<typename DescriptorT, template< typename > class ActorT>
         result_of::extract< typename expressions::attribute_keyword< DescriptorT, ActorT >::value_type, DescriptorT >::type
         operator[](expressions::attribute_keyword< DescriptorT, ActorT > const & keyword) const;

   Attribute value lookup.

   Parameters:

   `keyword` | Attribute keyword.

   Returns: | A `value_ref` with extracted attribute value if it is found, empty `value_ref` otherwise.
