1 I have started to review this very promising looking library, but am deterred from trying it fully by the hassle of building the library.
(I have yet to get bjam to work well for me, and 2 lines in the bjam file looks ominous
<include>D:/boost/boost_latest/boost/ # FIXME remove this!
as I use I:\boost_root\.
I would persevere if I was confident I would use it - and I wasn't just going to upgrade for VS 8.0 beta2 to VS 8.0 ;-)
I need:
boost_log-vc80-mt-gd-1_33.lib
and
boost_log-vc80-mt-1_33.lib
I'm posting my 'bin' directory online: http://www.torjo.com/code/bin.zip It contains binaries for vc7.1 and vc8.0. I have a very old 8.0 version, so there could be problems on your machine.
Could these be provided ready built for VS 7.1 and 8.0, 8.0 beta2 even? (For the convenience of the idle/incompetent - and until bjam/v2 and its documentation works foolproofly - 1.34?).
(As promised in the documentation, building the sources each time is rather time-consuming to be practicable for real-life use).
It is time-consuming, but not that much -- for the purpose of the review. What would indeed be time-consuming, is making the library header-only. In addition to the posted bin.zip file, to build the log lib, you could do either of: - copy the library files into your BOOST_ROOT directory, or - get started by using one of the examples provided by the library. You could start with the 'basic_usage' example, or - include the source files into your projects - it's just 3 source files, and define the macro 'BOOST_LOG_NO_LIB' How does that sound?
2 I got several "warning C4996: 'localtime' was declared deprecated" which should be suppressed IMO, until a better global 'solution' has been adopted.
# pragma warning(disable: 4996) // ' ' was declared deprecated.
Thanks, added that.
[...] But overall looking good :-)
