BloombergLP::ball::LoggerManager::allocateLogger

Allocate a logger with the specified raw observer and record buffer.

Synopsis

Declared in <ball_loggermanager.h>

Logger*
allocateLogger(
    RecordBuffer* buffer,
    Observer* observer);

Description

Return the address of a modifiable logger managed by this logger manager having the specified observer that receives published log records and configured with the specified record buffer. Optionally specify a scratchBufferSize for the logger's user-accessible message buffer. If scratchBufferSize is not specified, the value configured at construction is used. Note that this method is primarily intended for use in multi-threaded applications, but can be used to partition logging streams even within a single thread. Also note that ownership of buffer and observer is not transferred, and hence, will not be destroyed (or otherwise affected) after the logger is deallocated.

DEPRECATED: Use the allocateLogger method that does not take a raw pointer to an observer, together with the registerObserver method (which takes a shared pointer to an observer), instead.

Return Value
