Hi John,
Paused for food. A picnic with friends over the local surf break, on a balmy night in the South Pacific. Ah but back to more important things ;-)
That sounds pretty cool ;)
The last representation : what does "/matching_profile" mean?
It was intended to be an example of an encoded variable reference. The last component being the supplied variable name.
No, like this (choice of identifier not helpful);
unsigned int matching_profile;
As a side-note - you do know that if you truly want this: "After completion there were <3!unsigned int/matching_profile> leftovers", you'll need a macro somewhere, like: L_ << "After completion there were " << V_(macthing_profile) << " leftovers"; However, there should be a quite different solution to your problem: - when logging, automatically log the filename & line (or at least some unique ID from which you can get them) . This is possible with the current version of the lib. - then, have a viewer that parses both a log, and the source code for each logged line. Then, it can match a certain logged message with the actual line of C++ code. It can then interpret it. Thus, even if you have: After completion there were 3 leftovers and ... It will know 3 is of type "unsigned int", and is called matching_profile.
About "event involving a time, unique id, list of ..." - could we be talking about tags? I believe those should actually be what you want: http://torjo.com/log2/doc/html/namespaceboost_1_1logging_1_1tag.html
Think it's fair to say no. While technically I suspect tags could be applied to the problem at best it would be unwieldy.
The crucial piece seemed to be the declaration of the tags macro where the log message is decorated with information from the runtime context. This might be on a per-module or global basis.
I'm guessing that in my circumstance there would be a set of declared tags for each event type.
Could you give me a specific example? Because we're talking in too generic terms ;) Best, John -- http://John.Torjo.com -- C++ expert http://blog.torjo.com ... call me only if you want things done right
