Hey folks,
I've just finished porting my web framework from D1/Tango to D2/Phobos,
and in the transition lost logging functionality. As I'll be writing a
logging library anyway, I wondered if there'd be interest in a std.log?
If so, is there a current logging library we would like it to be based
on, or should we design from scratch?
I know there has been discussion about Google's
http://google-glog.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/glog.html and another
candidate may be http://logging.apache.org/log4j/ . Do we want a
comprehensive logging library, or just the basics? (Possibly with some
method for extension if needed).
Generally, I think a good logging library should:
- be small and simple to use
- allow defining arbitrary backends
- allow switching backends dynamically
- offer compile-time control, including zero overhead "all logging off"
- offer run-time control
I favor glog, which fulfills all of the above.
