# spdlog
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Very fast, header only, C++ logging library.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install
 | 
						|
Just copy the files to your build tree and use a C++11 compiler
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Tested on:
 | 
						|
* gcc 4.8.1 and above
 | 
						|
* clang 3.5
 | 
						|
* visual studio 2013
 | 
						|
* mingw with g++ 4.9.x
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##Features
 | 
						|
* Very fast - performance is the primary goal (see becnhmarks below).
 | 
						|
* Headers only.
 | 
						|
* No dependencies.
 | 
						|
* Cross platform - Linux / Windows on 32/64 bits.
 | 
						|
* Variadic-template/stream call styles: ```logger.info("variadic", x, y) << "or stream" << z;```
 | 
						|
* [Custom](https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/wiki/Custom-formatting) formatting.
 | 
						|
* Multi/Single threaded loggers.
 | 
						|
* Various log targets:
 | 
						|
    * Rotating log files.
 | 
						|
    * Daily log files.
 | 
						|
    * Console logging.
 | 
						|
    * Linux syslog.
 | 
						|
    * Easily extendable with custom log targets  (just implement a single function in the [sink](include/spdlog/sinks/sink.h) interface).
 | 
						|
* Optional async logging .
 | 
						|
* Log levels.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Benchmarks
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Below are some [benchmarks](bench) comparing the time needed to log 1,000,000 lines to file under Ubuntu 64 bit, Intel i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz:

## Usage Example
 | 
						|
```c++
 | 
						|
#include <iostream>
 | 
						|
#include "spdlog/spdlog.h"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
int main(int, char* [])
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
    namespace spd = spdlog;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    try
 | 
						|
    {
 | 
						|
        std::string filename = "spdlog_example";
 | 
						|
        auto console = spd::stdout_logger_mt("console");
 | 
						|
        console->info("Welcome to spdlog!") ;
 | 
						|
        console->info() << "Creating file " << filename << "..";
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        auto file_logger = spd::rotating_logger_mt("file_logger", filename, 1024 * 1024 * 5, 3);
 | 
						|
        file_logger->info("Log file message number", 1);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        for (int i = 0; i < 100; ++i)
 | 
						|
        {
 | 
						|
            auto square = i*i;
 | 
						|
            file_logger->info() << i << '*' << i << '=' << square << " (" << "0x" << std::hex << square << ")";
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        // Change log level to all loggers to warning and above
 | 
						|
        spd::set_level(spd::level::WARN);
 | 
						|
        console->info("This should not be displayed");
 | 
						|
        console->warn("This should!");
 | 
						|
        spd::set_level(spd::level::INFO);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
        // Change format pattern to all loggers
 | 
						|
        spd::set_pattern(" **** %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%e %l **** %v");
 | 
						|
        spd::get("console")->info("This is another message with different format");
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
    catch (const spd::spdlog_ex& ex)
 | 
						|
    {
 | 
						|
        std::cout << "Log failed: " << ex.what() << std::endl;
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
    return 0;
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
