log4cplus Reviews

I hate this ugly piece of crap. Was going to use it on Windows because log4cpp doesn't work there and logcxx is an overblown monster. This one is especially nasty having absorbed a welter of ugly hacks over the decade since the original author jettisoned it. The hacks are totally undocumented and the most you can find are amateurish write-ups at random web pages. Usable but only by painful reading of its sources and inference of what a c++ log4j is supposed to be doing. Says more about C++ than I ever could with words. Decided to just gut the whole thing and roll my own simple sprintf based logger in disgust.
