Summary

This is currently a research on using the wonderful asynchronous C++11 logger g2log in a pre-C++11 project.

For that purpose, g2log is compiled as a dynamically loaded library (shared object on linux).

The goal is to provide the same syntax for logging by means of a header mimicing the g2log api and a binary safe api that will be used to delegate the calls to the g2log in the dll.

Details

Usage

Check out the project into the g2log repository first.

Building is currently supported using Visual Studio 2012 Express using the provided solution, or on linux from the g2log-dll folder:

./premake4 gmake
cd Build
make

When built, the logger can be used by loading the dll using the import library, and on linux by linking with the shared object(?). See vs9test and vs11test/test.cpp

Status

Currently, the simplest form of logging is provided by the file g2log_dll.h. The tests have been performed using various compilers, and the results seem promising - the penalty of crossing the dll boundary seem insignificant at least on my machine.

Contributions are welcome!
