Which Logging tools do you use for Windows?

Question

I'm looking at adding logging to an application, and I'm considering using Kiwi syslogd and a freeware library (clSyslog) to send logging messages to the daemon. I briefly looked at log4c, and found compiling it with VC++ would take me more time than I had.

What tools do you use and recommend for logging messages?

Answer 1

Rolled my own -- this is especially useful for cross-platform stuff. You can take a look at Boost.Log . Note this was rejected when submitted and hence not part of the standard distribution. AFAIK, the author had plans to rewrite this though.

Answer 2

Windows事件日志

Answer 3

In C++ I use a lot of log4cxx .. Don't see why it's a problem to compile, works like champ. It brings lots of benefits. To name just a few - you can re-direct your log statements into syslog or windows event log without ever touching your code base - just change configuration.

Answer 4

I'm fond of Poco :: LogStream . It's a framework but it does have a really nice logging layer that acts like log4j and the like as far as configuration is concerned but uses the STL for implementation. Quite nice.

Answer 5

I've used John Torjo's logging framework (version 1 - not 2) before. It worked very well, so I presume the second version will be as well.
