[Cppcms-users] booster::log

[Marcel H. <ke...@co...>]

hi everyone,

I'm searching for a good logger tool for c++ and found (oh what a 
wonder) booster::log.
It's simple and powerfull. Nice to handle and everything. I found 
boost.log too but can't install it, because I don't know how :D (funny, 
isn't it?)
So two major questions.
Would it be possible to add two things?!
  - add a constructor for sinks::file which takes the file name as a 
parameter and optionally the max files? It would be easier to construct 
this, because you don't have to create a pointer (or whatever) first and 
then hand it over to the logger
  - add a constructor to sinks::standard_error which takes a ostream as 
parameter. Maybe you define an other class that does this.

and two other questions:
  - what is the const char *module in should_be_logged, set_log_level 
and so on? It's a "string", of course, but where do I get the string for 
my sink?!
  - Is it true, that I can only use booster without cppcms and that it's 
licended under the boost license?

Regards,

Marcel Hellwig
