:relfileprefix: ../../../
:mrdocs:

Initialize the logger manager singleton having the specified `observer` that receives published log records. Optionally specify a `configuration` describing how the singleton should be configured. If `configuration` is not specified, a default constructed `LoggerManagerConfiguration` object is used. Optionally specify a `globalAllocator` used to supply memory. If `globalAllocator` is 0, the currently installed global allocator is used. Return a non‐`const` reference to the logger manager singleton. This method has no effect (aside from logging a warning) if the logger manager singleton already exists. The behavior is undefined if `observer` is 0, goes out of scope, or is otherwise destroyed.

== Description

DEPRECATED: Use the `initSingleton` 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.
