// DESIGN NOTES
// Over the years EventSource has become more complex and so it is important to understand
// the basic structure of the code to insure that it does not grow more complex.
//
// Basic Model
//
// PRINCIPLE: EventSource - ETW decoupling
// 
// Conceptually and EventSouce is something takes event logging data from the source methods 
// To the EventListener that can subscribe them.  Note that CONCEPTUALLY EVENTSOURCES DON'T
// KNOW ABOUT ETW!.   The MODEL of the system is that there is a special EventListener Which
// we will call the EtwEventListener, that forwards commands from ETW to EventSources and
// listeners to the EventSources and forwards on those events to ETW.   THus the model should
// be that you DON'T NEED ETW.    
//
// Now in actual practice, EventSouce have rather intimate knowledge of ETW and send events
// to it directly, but this can be VIEWED AS AN OPTIMIZATION.  
//
// Basic Event Data Flow:
// 
// There are two ways for event Data to enter the system
//     1) WriteEvent* and friends.  This is called the 'contract' based approach because 
//        you write a method per event which forms a contract that is know at compile time.
//        In this scheme each event is given an EVENTID (small integer). which is its identity
//     2) Write<T> methods.   This is called the 'dynamic' approach because new events 
//        can be created on the fly.  Event identity is determined by the event NAME, and these
//        are not quite as efficient at runtime since you have at least a hash table lookup
//        on every event write.  
//
// EventSource-EventListener transfer fully support both ways of writing events (either contract
// based (WriteEvent*) or dynamic (Write<T>).   Both way fully support the same set of data
// types.   It is suggested, however, that you use the contract based approach when the event scheme 
// is known at compile time (that is whenever possible).  It is more efficient, but more importantly
// it makes the contract very explicit, and centralizes all policy about logging.  These are good 
// things.    The Write<T> API is really meant for more ad-hoc 
//
// Allowed Data. 
// 
// Note that EventSource-EventListeners have a conceptual serialization-deserialization that happens
// during the transfer.   In particular object identity is not preserved, some objects are morphed, 
// and not all data types are supported.   In particular you can pass
// 
// A Valid type to log to an EventSource include
//   * Primitive data types
//   * IEnumerable<T> of valid types T (this include arrays)  (* New for V4.6)
//   * Explicitly Opted in class or struct with public property Getters over Valid types.  (* New for V4.6)
// 
// This set of types is roughly a generalization of JSON support (Basically primitives, bags, and arrays).   
//
// Explicitly allowed structs include (* New for V4.6)
//   * Marked with the EventData attribute
//   * implicitly defined (e.g the C# new {x = 3, y = 5} syntax)
//   * KeyValuePair<K,V>  (thus dictionaries can be passed since they are an IEnumerable of KeyValuePair)
//         
// When classes are returned in an EventListener, what is returned is something that implements 
// IDictionary<string, T>.  Thus when objects are passed to an EventSource they are transformed
// into a key-value bag (the IDictionary<string, T>) for consumption in the listener.   These 
// are obvious NOT the original objects.  
// 
// ETWserialization formats:
// 
// As mentioned conceptually EventSource's send data to EventListeners and there is a conceptual 
// copy/morph of that data as described above.   In addition the .NET framework supports a conceptual
// ETWListener that will send the data to then ETW stream.   If you use this feature, the data needs 
// to be serialized in a way that ETW supports.  ETW supports the following serialization formats 
// 
//     1) Manifest Based serialization. 
//     2) SelfDescribing serialization (TraceLogging style in the TraceLogging directory)
//
// A key factor is that the Write<T> method, which support on the fly definition of events, can't
// support the manifest based serialization because the manifest needs the schema of all events 
// to be known before any events are emitted.  This implies the following
//
// If you use Write<T> and the output goes to ETW it will use the SelfDescribing format.
// If you use the EventSource(string) constructor for an eventSource (in which you don't
// create a subclass), the default is also to use Self-Describing serialization.  In addition
// you can use the EventSoruce(EventSourceSettings) constructor to also explicitly specify
// Self-Describing serialization format.   These effect the WriteEvent* APIs going to ETW.  
//
// Note that none of this ETW serialization logic affects EventListeners.   Only the ETW listener.  
// 
// *************************************************************************************
// *** INTERNALS: Event Propagation
//
//   Data enters the system either though
//
// 1) A user defined method in the user defined subclass of EventSource which calls 
//     A) A typesafe type specific overload of WriteEvent(ID, ...)  e.g. WriteEvent(ID, string, string) 
//           * which calls into the unsafe WriteEventCore(ID COUNT EventData*) WriteEventWithRelatedActivityIdCore()
//     B) The typesafe overload WriteEvent(ID, object[])  which calls the private helper WriteEventVarargs(ID, Guid* object[])
//     C) Directly into the unsafe WriteEventCore(ID, COUNT EventData*) or WriteEventWithRelatedActivityIdCore()
//
//     All event data eventually flows to one of 
//        * WriteEventWithRelatedActivityIdCore(ID, Guid*, COUNT, EventData*) 
//        * WriteEventVarargs(ID, Guid*, object[])
//
// 2) A call to one of the overloads of Write<T>.   All these overloads end up in 
//        * WriteImpl<T>(EventName, Options, Data, Guid*, Guid*)
// 
// On output there are the following routines
//    Writing to all listeners that are NOT ETW, we have the following routines
//       * WriteToAllListeners(ID, Guid*, Guid*, COUNT, EventData*)
//       * WriteToAllListeners(ID, Guid*, Guid*, object[])
//       * WriteToAllListeners(NAME, Guid*, Guid*, EventPayload)
//
//       EventPayload is the internal type that implements the IDictionary<string, object> interface
//       The EventListeners will pass back for serialized classes for nested object, but  
//       WriteToAllListeners(NAME, Guid*, Guid*, EventPayload) unpacks this uses the fields as if they
//       were parameters to a method.  
// 
//       The first two are used for the WriteEvent* case, and the later is used for the Write<T> case.  
// 
//    Writing to ETW, Manifest Based 
//          EventProvider.WriteEvent(EventDescriptor, Guid*, COUNT, EventData*)
//          EventProvider.WriteEvent(EventDescriptor, Guid*, object[])
//    Writing to ETW, Self-Describing format
//          WriteMultiMerge(NAME, Options, Types, EventData*)
//          WriteMultiMerge(NAME, Options, Types, object[])
//          WriteImpl<T> has logic that knows how to serialize (like WriteMultiMerge) but also knows 
//             will write it to 
//
//    All ETW writes eventually call
//      EventWriteTransfer (native PINVOKE wrapper)
//      EventWriteTransferWrapper (fixes compat problem if you pass null as the related activityID)
//         EventProvider.WriteEventRaw   - sets last error
//         EventSource.WriteEventRaw     - Does EventSource exception handling logic
//            WriteMultiMerge
//            WriteImpl<T>
//         EventProvider.WriteEvent(EventDescriptor, Guid*, COUNT, EventData*)
//         EventProvider.WriteEvent(EventDescriptor, Guid*, object[])
// 
// Serialization:  We have a bit of a hodge-podge of serializers right now.   Only the one for ETW knows
// how to deal with nested classes or arrays.   I will call this serializer the 'TypeInfo' serializer
// since it is the TraceLoggingTypeInfo structure that knows how to do this.   Effectively for a type you
// can call one of these 
//      WriteMetadata - transforms the type T into serialization meta data blob for that type
//      WriteObjectData - transforms an object of T into serialization meta data blob for that type
//      GetData - transforms an object of T into its deserialized form suitable for passing to EventListener. 
// The first two are used to serialize something for ETW.   The second one is used to transform the object 
// for use by the EventListener.    We also have a 'DecodeObject' method that will take a EventData* and
// deserialize to pass to an EventListener, but it only works on primitive types (types supported in version V4.5). 
// 
// It is an important observation that while EventSource does support users directly calling with EventData* 
// blobs, we ONLY support that for the primitive types (V4.5 level support).   Thus while there is a EventData*
// path through the system it is only for some types.  The object[] path is the more general (but less efficient) path.  
//
// TODO There is cleanup needed There should be no divergence until WriteEventRaw.  
// 
// TODO: We should have a single choke point (right now we always have this parallel EventData* and object[] path.   This 
// was historical (at one point we tried to pass object directly from EventSoruce to EventListener.  That was always 
// fragile and a compatibility headache, but we have finally been forced into the idea that there is always a transformation.
// This allows us to use the EventData* form to be the canonical data format in the low level APIs.  This also gives us the
// opportunity to expose this format to EventListeners in the future.
