[Log4cpp-devel] Seeking help with adapting log4cpp with new logging API library

[Matthew W. <ma...@sy...>]

Hi

I don't know if this is the done thing or not, but since the subject of
moribundity and other libraries has come up in the log4cxx mailing-list, I'd
like to draw people's attention to a new logging _API_ library that myself
and a colleague have recently released to the public domain: Pantheios
(http://pantheios.sourceforge.net/).

As the website explains, this comes with its own basic logging transport
facilities. But it is really a flexible/extensible, 100% type-safe, and very
efficient (see http://pantheios.sourceforge.net/performance.html) layer that
can be used over the rich transport facilities of any existing logging
library, including log4cxx or log4cpp.

We've an article coming out soon on The C++ Source
(http://artima.com/cppsource/) which will introduce it to the C++ world, so
to speak. But since the subject's been raised in the log4cxx forum, I
thought I'd give it a mention now.

The current beta contains two examples in which log4cxx
(examples/cpp/example_cpp_wrap_3pty_log_lib) and log4cplus
(examples/cpp/example_cpp_wrap_log4cplus) are wrapped. If anyone with
particular expertise with log4cxx, log4cplus and log4cpp would be willing to
lend a hand in producing actual bindings to these libraries, we'd be very
grateful. (Note: you can still use NDC's and all that stuff from within
application code, so Pantheios+log4XYZ offers the best of both worlds.)


Thanks for listening.
