BloombergLP::ball::Log_Formatter

Aggregate of objects used by the printf-style logging macros.

Synopsis

Declared in <ball_log.h>

class Log_Formatter;

Description

This class provides an aggregate of several objects relevant to the logging of a message via the printf-style macros: `

  • record to be logged

  • category to which to log the record

  • severity at which to log the record

  • buffer in which the user log message is formatted ` As a side-effect of creating an object of this class, the record is constructed, and the buffer is obtained. As a side-effect of destroying the object, the record is formatted, using the buffer, and logged.

This class should not be used directly by client code. It is an implementation detail of the macros provided by this component.
