Output logs to logcat on android

[nitanmarcel]

Is there a way to make the logs (verbose/errors) also be printed to android logcat using something like __android_log_vprint ?

the general approach you can take to integrate __android_log_vprint with mimalloc:

1. Modify the Logging Code in mimalloc: You'll need to adjust the logging functions within the mimalloc source code to use __android_log_vprint when running on an Android platform. This can be done by checking for the Android environment using preprocessor macros.

2. Include the Necessary Android Header: Ensure that the necessary Android headers are included for logging. Typically, this would mean including <android/log.h> in the relevant source files.

3. Use Conditional Compilation: Use #ifdef or #if defined to conditionally compile code that uses __android_log_vprint only when building for Android.

I opened a PR a while ago that does this
