MmkvLogger creates log strings even if logging is disabled

The string_format method seems like an anti-pattern... Is is possible to move all formatting to platform log implementations, which skip the string format overhead when not in use?

Sure it is possible - I'd gladly accept PRs that change/fix this.

It's an unneeded heap allocation plus the formatting logic added to every command... IMO, a wrapper around a performance-driven library shouldn't be doing that. You don't want to fix it?

Your string_format() method is complicated and I assume there's a reason you hand wrote that instead of passing all args to android/ios loggers .. but I don't understand why its there. So it'd be hard for me to write a PR.

Perhaps you could use preprocessor directives in your cpp Log function...

I'm no c guru -- but I put my ideas into a PR. Feel free to use some or none of them.

It appears NSLog needs to be guarded by preprocessor guard in Release builds if you don't want to log.

Android Log probably skips INFO logs on release though I haven't tested.

Finally, I also showed putting the preprocessor directive in the shared cpp. I don't know if that works though.
