Logs are not being printed about cbat_tools HOT 4 CLOSED

When you're writing a plugin, you shouldn't start the log service, as the host program will set the logging for you.

Thanks Ivan! I was looking in the wrong directory for the log files. Is there also a way to have the logs printed to stdout?

You can use the --log-dir parameter or the BAP_LOG_DIR environment variable to specify the location of the log file, e.g., bap . --log-dir=. will create a log file in the current folder.

While the Bap_main.init interface indeed allows specifying a formatter or channel as the looging output, the command line option itself is only accepting a directory. We can update the command line, and let it accept more options, including logging to stderr.

But, I honestly, don't see any reason to redirect it to a channel. You can always open the log file in emacs and enable the auto-revert-mode (if it is not enabled by default, it is a good idea to always use it). If you're not using emacs, I believe that all modern text editors are able to reload files automatically on change.

Finally, you can just use cat to output the log, e.g, bap ./exe <your-options> --log-dir=.; cat log
