Hi all,
Just updated the Logging library. Find it here: http://torjo.com/code/logging.zip Also, I've updated the docs. Feedback is welcome.
Highlights: [snip] **** Multiple levels. You can specify levels, very much like log4j.
To assign a level to a message, use BOOST_LOGL, like this: BOOST_LOGL(app,dbg) << "some debug message"; BOOST_LOGL(app,err) << "some error"; BOOST_LOGL(gui,warn) << "some GUIsh warning";
Note the BOOST_LOG still works: BOOST_LOG(app) << "some message"; // equivalent to: // BOOST_LOGL(app,default_) << "some message"
Hello John, Hi all, This is very good news indeed! In fact, I had integrated the Boost logging last Tuesday in our app, currently employing a workaround for levels (just writing levels as subcategories in brackets, like so: "category.subcategory.[level]"). I am eager to try out the new version. Having just looked at the doc and a little bit at the source code, I couldn't find a way to append (or prepend) the level to the log message. In this regard, one might also want to associate identifying strings with a level (analogous to how this can be done with BOOST_DEFINE_LOG). Having said that, I have to admit that I have just started using the library, and just looked a few minutes at the new version, so there might be solutions to this I haven't thought of. Feedback is very much appreciated. Overall, the handling of levels seems intuitive and easy to use. Many thanks, Andreas
