Member Enumeration Documentation

enum BALL::LogStream::LogStreamLevel

Log levels. Constants for the different predefined log levels. Use ERROR to indicate a severe error, WARNING to indicate a problem that could be fixed or is of minor importance, and INFORMATION for messages that do not indicate any problem (e.g. progress messages).

Enumerator:

ERROR_LEVEL	Loglevels >= ERROR should be used to indicate errors
WARNING_LEVEL	Loglevels >= WARNING should be used to indicate warnings
INFORMATION_LEVEL	Loglevels >= INFORMATION indicate information messages

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BALL::LogStream::LogStream	(	LogStreamBuf *	buf = `0`,
		bool	delete_buf = `true`,
		bool	associate_stdio = `false`
	)

Constructor. Creates a new LogStream object that is not associated with any stream. If the argument associate_stdio is set to true, cout is associated with all messages of levels INFORMATION and WARNING , and cerr is associated with all messages of level ERROR .

Parameters:

	buf
	delete_buf
	associate_stdio	bool, default is false

virtual BALL::LogStream::~LogStream ( ) [virtual]

Destructor. Clears all message buffers.

Member Function Documentation

bool BALL::LogStream::bound_ ( ) const [private]

void BALL::LogStream::clear ( )

Clear the message buffer. This method removes all stored messages from the message buffer.

void BALL::LogStream::disableOutput ( )

Disable all output.

void BALL::LogStream::enableOutput ( )

Enable all output.

LogStream& BALL::LogStream::error ( int n = 0 )

Log an error message. This method is equivalent to level (LogStream::ERROR + n).

Parameters:

n

the channel

list<int> BALL::LogStream::filterLines	(	int	min_level = `LogStreamBuf::MIN_LEVEL`,
		int	max_level = `LogStreamBuf::MAX_LEVEL`,
		Time	earliest = `0`,
		Time	latest = `LogStreamBuf::MAX_TIME`,
		const string &	s = `""`
	)			const

Retrieve a list of indices of lines that match certain criteria. If a criterion is left empty, it is not used.

Parameters:

	min_level	the minimum level of messages
	max_level	the maximum level of messages
	earliest	(long) the time of messages to start filtering
	latest	(long) the time of messages to stop filtering
	s	a string to look for

StreamIterator BALL::LogStream::findStream_ ( const std::ostream & stream ) [private]

void BALL::LogStream::flush ( )

int BALL::LogStream::getLevel ( )

Return the current log level. The LogStreamBuf object has an internal current log level (level_). It is set to 0 by the LogStreamBuf default constructor. This method returns rdbuf()->level_ if rdbuf() does not return a null pointer, 0 otherwise.

Returns:: int the current log level

int BALL::LogStream::getLineLevel ( const Index & index ) const

Return the log level of a specific line. If the given line does not exists, {-1} is returned.

Parameters:

index

the index of the message

Returns:: int the level

string BALL::LogStream::getLineText ( const Index & index ) const

Return the text of a specific line. This method returns the content of a specific message without time and level.

Returns:: string the text of the message

Parameters:

index

the index of the line

Time BALL::LogStream::getLineTime ( const Index & index ) const

Return the log time of a specific line

Parameters:

index

the index of the messages

Returns:: Time the time of the message

Size BALL::LogStream::getNumberOfLines	(	int	min_level = `LogStreamBuf::MIN_LEVEL`,
		int	max_level = `LogStreamBuf::MAX_LEVEL`
	)			const

Return the number of lines. This method retruns the number of lines in the buffer for a given range of levels.

: If the range is omitted, the total number of messages is returned.

Returns:: Size the number of lines matching the log level range

Parameters:

	min_level	the minimum log level for the counted messages
	max_level	the maximum log level for the counted messages

bool BALL::LogStream::hasStream_ ( std::ostream & stream ) [private]

LogStream& BALL::LogStream::info ( int n = 0 )

Log an information message. This method is equivalent to level (LogStream::INFORMATION + n).

Parameters:

n

the channel

void BALL::LogStream::insert	(	std::ostream &	s,
		int	min_level = `LogStreamBuf::MIN_LEVEL`,
		int	max_level = `LogStreamBuf::MAX_LEVEL`
	)

Associate a new stream with this logstream. This method inserts a new stream into the list of associated streams and sets the corresponding minimum and maximum log levels. Any message that is subsequently logged, will be copied to this stream if its log level is between min_level and max_level. If min_level and max_level are omitted, all messages are copied to this stream. If min_level and max_level are equal, this function can be used to listen to a specified channel.

Parameters:

	s	a reference to the stream to be associated
	MIN_LEVEL	the minimum level of messages copied to this stream
	MAX_LEVEL	the maximum level of messages copied to this stream

void BALL::LogStream::insertNotification	(	std::ostream &	s,
		LogStreamNotifier &	target,
		int	min_level = `LogStreamBuf::MIN_LEVEL`,
		int	max_level = `LogStreamBuf::MAX_LEVEL`
	)

Add a notification target

LogStream& BALL::LogStream::level ( int level )

Set a temporary log level. Using level, a temporary loglevel may be defined. It is valid unly until the next flush or endl is issued.

: Use this command to log a single line with a certain log level.

: Example: log << "log message 1" << endl;

: log.level(4) << "log message 2" << endl;

: log << "log message 3" << endl;

: In this example, only the second message will be logged using level 4.

Returns:: LogStream the log stream

Parameters:

level

the temporary log level

LogStreamBuf* BALL::LogStream::operator-> ( )

Arrow operator.

bool BALL::LogStream::outputEnabled ( ) const

Is Output enabled?

LogStreamBuf* BALL::LogStream::rdbuf ( )

rdbuf method of ostream. This method is needed to access the LogStreamBuf object.

void BALL::LogStream::remove ( std::ostream & s )

Remove an association with a stream. Remove a stream from the stream list and avoid the copying of new messages to this stream.

: If the stream was not in the list of associated streams nothing will happen.

Parameters:

s

the stream to be removed

void BALL::LogStream::setLevel ( int level )

Assign a new log level. This method assigns a new loglevel which will be used for all messages sent to the LogStream after that call (except for messages which use the temporary loglevel set by level ).

void BALL::LogStream::setMaxLevel	(	const std::ostream &	s,
		int	max_level
	)

Set the maximum log level of an associated stream. This method changes the maximum log level of an already associated stream. However, if the stream is not associated, nothing will happen.

Parameters:

	s	the associated stream
	max_level	the new minimum level

void BALL::LogStream::setMinLevel	(	const std::ostream &	s,
		int	min_level
	)

Set the minimum log level of an associated stream. This method changes the minimum log level of an already associated stream. However, if the stream is not associated, nothing will happen.

Parameters:

	s	the associated stream
	min_level	the new minimum level

void BALL::LogStream::setPrefix	(	const std::ostream &	s,
		const string &	prefix
	)

Set prefix for output to this stream. Each line written to the stream will be prefixed by this string. The string may also contain trivial format specifiers to include loglevel and time/date of the logged message.

: The following format tags are recognized:

l loglevel
y message type ("Error", "Warning", "Information", "-")
T time (HH:MM:SS)
t time in short format (HH:MM)
D date (DD.MM.YYYY)
d date in short format (DD.MM.)
S time and date (DD.MM.YYYY, HH:MM:SS)
s time and date in short format (DD.MM., HH:MM)
%% percent sign (escape sequence)

LogStream& BALL::LogStream::warn ( int n = 0 )

Log an information message. This method is equivalent to level (LogStream::WARNING + n).

Parameters:

n

the channel
