[Log] reversed file rotation order...
Hi *, We use file rotation with boost log, since I work more and with Python I use Python's logging as well. One interesting feature I observed was that Python's logger does reversed file rotation. Is that sort of feature implemented with boost::log library? In boost the rotation is: whatever_0.log < oldest file whatever_1.log whatever_2.log < newest file In Python the rotation order is: whatever_0.log < newest file whatever_1.log whatever_2.log < oldest file I think this is a very cool how Python does it, since I am able to endlessly "tail" in the shell the log file: tail -f whatever_0.log will not stop until I cancel the tail operation. With boot it is like, logger writes a new file and tail hangs with the file which is no longer written. This is a bit unusable and confusing. Would be great if that'd be possible in boost. Thanks, Ovanes
