This might be an argument of making the BOOST_LOG* macros work like this then:
BOOST_LOG(logger, msg << to << stream)
so that the implementation could hold a shared pointer to the logger for
the
lifetime of the call. Just a thought.
I'm not sure how that would help. Could you give an example? Thanks.
Actually I'm not sure that changing the syntax of BOOST_LOG/LOGL would even be required, based on the way enabled_logger works. It would just involve enabled_logger holding a boost::shared_ptr<logger> and the log_name() function that is created by BOOST_DEFINE_LOG returning a shared_ptr and not a reference.
I do have to give it some thought. Best, John -- John Torjo, Contributing editor, C/C++ Users Journal -- "Win32 GUI Generics" -- generics & GUI do mix, after all -- http://www.torjo.com/win32gui/surfaces.html - Sky's the limit! -- http://www.torjo.com/cb/ - Click, Build, Run!
