A pragmatic C++ logging library

Logbox

Logbox is a pragmatic logging library for C++.

Introduction

It could be used like this:

#include <logbox/logging.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  logbox::InitializeLogging();

  LOG(DEBUG) << "Hello world!";

  return 0;
}

Logging Style

Logbox supports three different styles of logging:

• Stream Style:

   LOG(DEBUG) << "This is a cool debug log";

• Format Style:

   LOG(INFO).Write("We find {} cookies", num_of_cookies);

• Printf Style

   LOG(ERROR).Printf("We can use printf! %s", "Yeah!");

Conditional Logging

You can do conditional logging this way:

   LOG_IF(DEBUG, num > 10) << "Too many cookies to eat!";
   LOG_IF(INFO, num > 10).Write("We got {} cookies!", num);

Format String Syntax

Logbox use cppformat(https://github.com/cppformat/cppformat) library for formatting. You can check format string syntax here: http://cppformat.readthedocs.org/en/latest/syntax.html
