Hello,
So here is the question: "Is there any interest in a logging library for boost?"
Of course there is.
I see from later emails you've read the discussion surrounding John Torjo's submission (some of which was from me). Thanks for taking the time to do that. You might also give careful reading to Gennadiy Rozental's review of the library, which I believe convinced John to retract his submission:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/134338/focus=134399
Ouch. Gennadiy is one tough guy... He seems to have very precise idea of what is a log library, and has apparently developed one. I wonder why it's still not included into boost!...
You might also want to look at this message, where I took a brief stab at implementing some of the concepts that were raised in the library proposal discussion:
Yes, I may have use of this.
In your example above, you're showing what looks like a 100% macro-based interface. I would recommend strongly against this.
Any logging library should be free-standing and usable without *requiring* macros like the above.
Why? I like macros for this particular case. Here again there is a debate, that is not close to being over...
