134 /** A simple macro to create a "file and line number" string.

149 This can be useful for example in a call to SAL_INFO when depending on some
150 boolean condition data of incompatible types shall be streamed into the
151 message, as in:
153 SAL_INFO("foo", "object: " << (hasName ? obj->name : SAL_STREAM(obj)));

161 (dynamic_cast< ::std::ostringstream & >(::std::ostringstream() << stream). \

165 @page sal_log Basic logging functionality.
167 @short Macros for logging.
169 SAL_INFO(char const * area, expr),
170 SAL_INFO_IF(bool condition, char const * area, expr),
171 SAL_WARN(char const * area, expr),
172 SAL_WARN_IF(bool condition, char const * area, expr), and SAL_DEBUG(expr)
173 produce an info, warning, or debug log entry with a message produced by
174 piping items into a C++ std::ostringstream. The given expr must be so that
175 the full expression "stream << expr" is valid, where stream is a variable of
176 type std::ostringstream.
178 SAL_INFO("foo", "string " << s << " of length " << n)
180 would be an example of such a call.
182 The composed message should be in UTF-8 and it should contain no vertical
183 formatting characters and no null characters
185 For the _IF variants, log output is only generated if the given condition is
186 true (in addition to the other conditions that have to be met).
188 The SAL_DEBUG macro is for temporary debug statements that are used while
189 working on code. It is never meant to remain in the code. It will always
190 simply output the given expression in debug builds.
192 For all the other macros, the given area argument must be non-null and must
193 match the regular expression
195 @verbatim
196 <area> ::= <segment>("."<segment>)*
197 @endverbatim
199 with
201 @verbatim
202 <segment> ::= [0-9a-z]+
203 @endverbatim
205 For a list of areas used see @ref sal_log_areas "SAL debug areas". Whenever
206 you use a new log area, add it to the file include/sal/log-areas.dox .
208 Whether these macros generate any log output is controlled in a two-stage
209 process.
211 First, at compile time the macros SAL_LOG_INFO and SAL_LOG_WARN,
212 respectively, control whether the INFO and WARN macros, respectively,
213 expand to actual code (in case the macro is defined, to any value) or to
214 no-ops (in case the macro is not defined).
216 Second, at runtime the environment variable SAL_LOG further limits which
217 macro calls actually generate log output. The environment variable SAL_LOG
218 must either be unset or must match the regular expression
220 @verbatim
221 <env> ::= <switch>*
222 @endverbatim
224 with
226 @verbatim
227 <switch> ::= <sense><level>("."<area>)?
228 <sense> ::= "+"|"-"
229 <level> ::= "INFO"|"WARN"
230 @endverbatim
232 If the environment variable is unset, "+WARN" is used instead (which results
233 in all warnings being output but no infos). If the given value does not
234 match the regular expression, "+INFO+WARN" is used instead (which in turn
235 results in everything being output).
237 A given macro call's level (INFO or WARN) and area is matched against the
238 given switches as follows: Only those switches for which the level matches
239 the given level and for which the area is a prefix (including both empty and
240 full prefixes) of the given area are considered. Log output is generated if
241 and only if among the longest such switches (if any), there is at least one
242 that has a sense of "+". (That is, if both +INFO.foo and -INFO.foo are
243 present, +INFO.foo wins.)
245 For example, if SAL_LOG is "+INFO-INFO.foo+INFO.foo.bar", then calls like
246 SAL_INFO("foo.bar", ...), SAL_INFO("foo.bar.baz", ...), or
247 SAL_INFO("other", ...) generate output, while calls like
248 SAL_INFO("foo", ...) or SAL_INFO("foo.barzzz", ...) do not.
250 The generated log output consists of the given level ("info" or "warn"), the
251 given area, the process ID, the thread ID, the source file, and the source
252 line number, each followed by a colon, followed by a space, the given
253 message, and a newline. The precise format of the log output is subject to
254 change. The log output is printed to stderr without further text encoding
255 conversion.
