# spdlog
|
|
|
|
Very fast, header only, C++ logging library. [](https://travis-ci.org/gabime/spdlog) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/gabime/spdlog)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
#### Just copy the headers:
|
|
|
|
* Copy the source [folder](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/tree/master/include/spdlog) to your build tree and use a C++11 compiler.
|
|
|
|
#### Or use your favourite package manager:
|
|
|
|
* Ubuntu: `apt-get install libspdlog-dev`
|
|
* Homebrew: `brew install spdlog`
|
|
* FreeBSD: `cd /usr/ports/devel/spdlog/ && make install clean`
|
|
* Fedora: `yum install spdlog`
|
|
* Arch Linux: `pacman -S spdlog-git`
|
|
* vcpkg: `vcpkg install spdlog`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Platforms
|
|
* Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris
|
|
* Windows (vc 2013+, cygwin/mingw)
|
|
* Mac OSX (clang 3.5+)
|
|
* Android
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
* Very fast - performance is the primary goal (see [benchmarks](#benchmarks) below).
|
|
* Headers only, 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).
|
|
* syslog.
|
|
* Windows debugger (```OutputDebugString(..)```)
|
|
* 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):
