[...]After more than a year of development my implementation of logging library is coming to its first release. Here are some feature highlights:
I just read the entire documentation of your logging library - it sounds very good! I didn't write any code and didn't use your library yet but will definitely do. So far I've only one question regarding BOOST_LOG_DECLARE_GLOBAL_LOGGER. Having read http://boost-log.sourceforge.net/libs/log/doc/html/advanced/advanced.html#ad... I understand that this macro is used to help developers not to violate the ODR. Having read the entire documentation I'm a bit surprised though that it's used everywhere by default (like in the tutorial). I would expect that by default developers can define a global logger with src::severity_logger_mt lg; _unless_ they violate the ODR. _Then_ they can use BOOST_LOG_DECLARE_GLOBAL_LOGGER. Either I missed something and I always should use BOOST_LOG_DECLARE_GLOBAL_LOGGER or the library author (you :) thought that developers too often violate the ODR without noticing and better always use the macro even if it isn't really necessary?
