Detailed Description

Controls and implements low-level logging output, as used by the Log interface.

Applications should instantiate a LogOutput object in main() to enable log output.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

G::LogOutput::LogOutput	(	const std::string &	prefix,
		bool	output,
		bool	with_logging,
		bool	with_verbose_logging,
		bool	with_debug,
		bool	with_level,
		bool	with_timestamp,
		bool	strip_context,
		bool	use_syslog,
		const std::string &	stderr_replacement = std::string(),
		SyslogFacility	syslog_facility = User
	)

Constructor.

If there is no LogOutput object, or if 'output' is false, then there is no output of any sort. Otherwise at least warning and error messages are generated.

If 'with-logging' is true then log[summary] messages are output. If 'with-verbose-logging' is true then log[verbose] messages are output. If 'with_debug' is true then debug messages will also be generated (but only if compiled in).

More than one LogOutput object may be created, but only the first one controls output.

Definition at line 32 of file glogoutput.cpp.

G::LogOutput::LogOutput ( bool  output_with_logging, bool  verbose_and_debug = true, const std::string &  stderr_replacement = std::string()  )

explicit

Constructor for test programs.

Only generates output if the first parameter is true. Never uses syslog.

Definition at line 55 of file glogoutput.cpp.

G::LogOutput::~LogOutput ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 95 of file glogoutput.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

void G::LogOutput::assertion ( const char *  file, int  line, bool  test, const std::string &  test_string  )

static

Makes an assertion check (regardless of any LogOutput object).

Calls output() if the 'file' parameter is not null.

Definition at line 230 of file glogoutput.cpp.

bool G::LogOutput::enable

(

bool

enabled = true

)

Enables or disables output. Returns the previous setting.

Definition at line 113 of file glogoutput.cpp.

G::LogOutput * G::LogOutput::instance ( )

static

Returns a pointer to the controlling LogOutput object.

Returns NULL if none.

Definition at line 108 of file glogoutput.cpp.

void G::LogOutput::onAssert ( )

virtual

Called during an assertion failure.

This allows Windows applications to stop timers etc. (Timers can cause reentrancy problems and infinitely recursive dialog box creation.)

Definition at line 181 of file glogoutput.cpp.

void G::LogOutput::output ( G::Log::Severity  severity, const char *  file, int  line, const std::string &  text  )

static

Generates output if there is an existing LogOutput object which is enabled.

Uses rawOutput().

Definition at line 120 of file glogoutput.cpp.

void G::LogOutput::rawOutput ( std::ostream &  std_err, G::Log::Severity  severity, const std::string &  message  )

virtual

Overridable.

Used to do the final message output (with OutputDebugString() or stderr).
