5 // Defines the VLOG_IS_ON macro that controls the variable-verbosity
6 // conditional logging.
8 // It's used by VLOG and VLOG_IF in logging.h
9 // and by RAW_VLOG in raw_logging.h to trigger the logging.
11 // It can also be used directly e.g. like this:
12 // if (VLOG_IS_ON(2)) {
13 // // do some logging preparation and logging
14 // // that can't be accomplished e.g. via just VLOG(2) << ...;
17 // The truth value that VLOG_IS_ON(level) returns is determined by
18 // the three verbosity level flags:
19 // --v=<n> Gives the default maximal active V-logging level;
21 // Normally positive values are used for V-logging levels.
22 // --vmodule=<str> Gives the per-module maximal V-logging levels to override
23 // the value given by --v.
24 // E.g. "my_module=2,foo*=3" would change the logging level
25 // for all code in source files "my_module.*" and "foo*.*"
26 // ("-inl" suffixes are also disregarded for this matching).
27 // --silent_init When true has the effect of increasing
28 // the argument of VLOG_IS_ON by 1,
29 // thus suppressing one more level of verbose logging.
31 // SetVLOGLevel helper function is provided to do limited dynamic control over
32 // V-logging by overriding the per-module settings given via --vmodule flag.
34 // CAVEAT: --vmodule functionality is not available in non gcc compilers.
