Detailed Description

lbuild module: modm:debug

The modm::log::Logger uses a modm::IOStream to read messages and write them to a given output device.

Write a log message with streams:

MODM_LOG_DEBUG << "i=" << i << ", y=" << y << modm::flush;

The name of the stream represents the log level of the message. Available are:

A log message can also be generated separately:

int a[3] = {1,2,3};
MODM_LOG_DEBUG << "a = ";
for(int i = 0; i < sizeof(a); ++i) {
MODM_LOG_DEBUG << a[i] << ", ";
}
MODM_LOG_DEBUG << modm::flush;

Flow of a call

This is to give an estimation how many resources a call of the logger use. All considerations are for a PC program.

The given call is:

MODM_LOG_DEBUG << 123456;

The macro resolves to:

if (MODM_LOG_LEVEL <= modm::log::DEBUG)
modm::log::debug

In sum there are two nested method calls with one of them being virtual.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define FILENAME

Filename of the current file.

In contrast to FILE the path to the file is omitted (if this feature is available, otherwise this macro will resolve to FILE).

#define MODM_FILE_INFO

String containing the filename and the current line.

Will generate something like:

"file.cpp (123) >> "

This can be very useful the track the origin of log-messages:

MODM_LOG_DEBUG << MODM_FILE_INFO
<< "... something has happened ..."
<< modm::endl;

This will result into:

file.cpp (123) >> ... something has happened ...
