The author of Pantheios (http://pantheios.sourceforge.net) seems to think he really does know what it is, and has found the "sweet spot." I have no opinion about whether he's right or not, but it would be a good idea for someone who's familiar with the recent Boost discussion to review his work before proceeding too much further.
Thanks David for your advice. So here is some stuff I read from the documentation (.chm): - "Pantheios is written in C and C++, and presents a C API along with a C++ Application Layer API." Is it a problem? - "Pantheios is released under the BSD license" Is it a problem? - "Pantheios is dependent on the STLSoft libraries, version 1.9.1 beta 20, or later. STLSoft provides the following important features: -Compiler feature discrimination, standard library feature discrimination, memory utility classes, multi-threading classes and functions, various TL extension algorithms and iterator adaptors. -The application layer uses the string access shims defined by the STLSoft main project and several sub-projects to effect the genericity, 100% type-safety and zero-overhead when not logging. -The core completely avoids memory allocation when the total extent of a logged message is less than 2048 bytes by using the highly efficient stlsoft::auto_buffer component. -Several stock back ends use STLSoft components for their implementation." Is it a problem? - Wow!! : http://minilien.com/?JXY4zQCudk I am not an expert in design and in no position in rejecting any library or whatever, and I have actually not even look into the code but IMO, just as reading few pages of the doc, I think pantheios is not what we are looking for. I would love to be wrong and that someone says, "pantheios is what we were looking for all those years, let put it into boost". I doubt it... Please, someone more experienced have a quick look and tell me I'm wrong. Thanks. JD
