Hi Thomas, all,
I am researching about logging libraries. I had to discard Boost.Log ( from Andrey) because this library does not support GCC 3.4. I've seen other libraries, but none convinced me.
A few notes, if I may: 1. You probably wouldn't want the streaming expressions to be executed when the record is dropped anyway (e.g. when its severity level is not high enough). So there should be some "if (dl.is_enabled(info))" before each logging expression. Such check is usually hidden behind macros. 2. Thread safety and contention might be an issue. If there's going to be a global logger, accessible from different parts of program, it will have to synchronize concurrent access from different threads and, if possible, not to block for too long. Also, did you take a look at Google glog? http://code.google.com/p/google-glog/ I don't know about support for GCC 3.4, but it looks simple enough.
