Hi. If I understand right the code, even if log is disabled, I do pay for constructing log messages. Am I right? If so why do you force this?

No, you donot pay.

BOOST_LOG(app) << "testing " << i << '-' << j << '-' << k;

Is the equivalent of:

if ( is_log_enabled(app) ) app_log() << "testing" << i ...;

Hopefully the actual expansion uses a if/else statement so as to avoid wreaking havoc in calling code? if ( !is_log_enabled(app) ) ; else app_log() << "testing" << i ...; Andrei
