# spdlog
|
|
|
|
Very fast, header only, C++ logging library. [](https://travis-ci.org/gabime/spdlog)
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
Just copy the source [folder](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/tree/master/include/spdlog) to your build tree and use a C++11 compiler
|
|
|
|
## Platforms
|
|
* Linux (gcc 4.8.1+, clang 3.5+)
|
|
* Windows (visual studio 2013+, cygwin/mingw with g++ 4.9.1+)
|
|
* Mac OSX (clang 3.5+)
|
|
|
|
##Features
|
|
* Very fast - performance is the primary goal (see [benchmarks](#benchmarks) below).
|
|
* Headers only.
|
|
* No dependencies - just copy and use.
|
|
* Feature rich [call style](#usage-example) using the excellent [fmt](https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt) library.
|
|
* Extremely fast asynchronous mode (optional) - using lockfree queues and other tricks to reach millions of calls/sec.
|
|
* [Custom](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/wiki/3.-Custom-formatting) formatting.
|
|
* Multi/Single threaded loggers.
|
|
* Various log targets:
|
|
* Rotating log files.
|
|
* Daily log files.
|
|
* Console logging (colors supported).
|
|
* Linux syslog.
|
|
* Easily extendable with custom log targets (just implement a single function in the [sink](include/spdlog/sinks/sink.h) interface).
|
|
* Severity based filtering - threshold levels can be modified in runtime as well as in compile time.
|

## Benchmarks
|
|
|
|
Below are some [benchmarks](bench) comparing popular log libraries under Ubuntu 64 bit, Intel i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
|
|
|
|
#### Synchronous mode
|
|
Time needed to log 1,000,000 lines in synchronous mode (in seconds, the best of 3 runs):

|
#### Asynchronous mode
|
|
Time needed to log 1,000,000 lines in asynchronous mode, i.e. the time it takes to put them in the async queue (in seconds, the best of 3 runs):

## Usage Example
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include "spdlog/spdlog.h"
|
|
|
|
int main(int, char* [])
|
|
{
|
|
namespace spd = spdlog;
|
|
try
|
|
{
|
|
// console logger (multithreaded and with color)
|
|
auto console = spd::stdout_logger_mt("console", true);
|
|
console->info("Welcome to spdlog!") ;
|
|
console->info("An info message example {}..", 1);
|
|
|
|
//Formatting examples
|
|
console->info("Easy padding in numbers like {:08d}", 12);
|
|
console->info("Support for int: {0:d}; hex: {0:x}; oct: {0:o}; bin: {0:b}", 42);
|
|
console->info("Support for floats {:03.2f}", 1.23456);
|
|
console->info("Positional args are {1} {0}..", "too", "supported");
|
|
|
|
console->info("{:<30}", "left aligned");
|
|
console->info("{:>30}", "right aligned");
|
|
console->info("{:^30}", "centered");
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
// Runtime log levels
|
|
//
|
|
spd::set_level(spd::level::info); //Set global log level to info
|
|
console->debug("This message shold not be displayed!");
|
|
console->set_level(spd::level::debug); // Set specific logger's log level
|
|
console->debug("Now it should..");
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
// Create a basic multithreaded file logger (or "basic_logger_st" for single threaded logger)
|
|
//
|
|
auto my_logger = spd::basic_logger_mt("basic_logger", "logs/basic.txt");
|
|
my_logger->info("Some log message");
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
// Create a file rotating logger with 5mb size max and 3 rotated files
|
|
//
|
|
auto rotating_logger = spd::rotating_logger_mt("some_logger_name", "logs/mylogfile", 1048576 * 5, 3);
|
|
for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
|
|
rotating_logger->info("{} * {} equals {:>10}", i, i, i*i);
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
// Create a daily logger - a new file is created every day on 2:30am
|
|
//
|
|
auto daily_logger = spd::daily_logger_mt("daily_logger", "logs/daily", 2, 30);
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
// Customize msg format for all messages
|
|
//
|
|
spd::set_pattern("*** [%H:%M:%S %z] [thread %t] %v ***");
|
|
rotating_logger->info("This is another message with custom format");
|
|
|
|
spd::get("console")->info("loggers can be retrieved from a global registry using the spdlog::get(logger_name) function");
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
// Compile time debug or trace macros.
|
|
// Enabled #ifdef SPDLOG_DEBUG_ON or #ifdef SPDLOG_TRACE_ON
|
|
//
|
|
SPDLOG_TRACE(console, "Enabled only #ifdef SPDLOG_TRACE_ON..{} ,{}", 1, 3.23);
|
|
SPDLOG_DEBUG(console, "Enabled only #ifdef SPDLOG_DEBUG_ON.. {} ,{}", 1, 3.23);
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
// Asynchronous logging is very fast..
|
|
// Just call spdlog::set_async_mode(q_size) and all created loggers from now on will be asynchronous..
|
|
//
|
|
size_t q_size = 8192; //queue size must be power of 2
|
|
spdlog::set_async_mode(q_size);
|
|
auto async_file= spd::daily_logger_st("async_file_logger", "logs/async_log.txt");
|
|
async_file->info("This is async log..Should be very fast!");
|
|
|
|
//
|
|
// syslog example. linux only..
|
|
//
|
|
#ifdef __linux__
|
|
std::string ident = "spdlog-example";
|
