The severity levels are // `INFO`, `WARNING`, `ERROR`, and `FATAL`. They are defined // in absl/base/log_severity.h. // * The `FATAL` severity level terminates the program with a stack trace after // logging its message. Error handlers registered with `RunOnFailure` // (process_state.h) are run, but exit handlers registered with `atexit(3)` // are not. // * The `QFATAL` pseudo-severity level is equivalent to `FATAL` but triggers // quieter termination messages, e.g. without a full stack trace, and skips // running registered error handlers. // * The `DFATAL` pseudo-severity level is defined as `FATAL` in debug mode and // as `ERROR` otherwise. // Some preprocessor shenanigans are used to ensure that e.g. `LOG(INFO)` has // the same meaning even if a local symbol or preprocessor macro named `INFO` is // defined. To specify a severity level using an expression instead of a // literal, use `LEVEL(expr)`. // Example: // // LOG(LEVEL(stale ? absl::LogSeverity::kWarning : absl::LogSeverity::kInfo)) // << "Cookies are " << days << " days old"; // `LOG` macros evaluate to an unterminated statement. The value at the end of // the statement supports some chainable methods: // // * .AtLocation(absl::string_view file, int line) // .AtLocation(absl::SourceLocation loc) // Overrides the location inferred from the callsite. The string pointed to // by `file` must be valid until the end of the statement. // * .NoPrefix() // Omits the prefix from this line. The prefix includes metadata about the // logged data such as source code location and timestamp. // * .WithVerbosity(int verbose_level) // Sets the verbosity field of the logged message as if it was logged by // `VLOG(verbose_level)`. Unlike `VLOG`, this method does not affect // evaluation of the statement when the specified `verbose_level` has been // disabled. The only effect is on `LogSink` implementations which make use // of the `absl::LogSink::verbosity()` value. The value // `absl::LogEntry::kNoVerbosityLevel` can be specified to mark the message // not verbose. // * .WithTimestamp(absl::Time timestamp) // Uses the specified timestamp instead of one collected at the time of // execution. // * .WithThreadID(absl::LogEntry::tid_t tid) // Uses the specified thread ID instead of one collected at the time of // execution. // * .WithMetadataFrom(const absl::LogEntry &entry) // Copies all metadata (but no data) from the specified `absl::LogEntry`. // This can be used to change the severity of a message, but it has some // limitations: // * `ABSL_MIN_LOG_LEVEL` is evaluated against the severity passed into // `LOG` (or the implicit `FATAL` level of `CHECK`). // * `LOG(FATAL)` and `CHECK` terminate the process unconditionally, even if // the severity is changed later. // `.WithMetadataFrom(entry)` should almost always be used in combination // with `LOG(LEVEL(entry.log_severity()))`. // * .WithPerror() // Appends to the logged message a colon, a space, a textual description of // the current value of `errno` (as by `strerror(3)`), and the numerical // value of `errno`. // * .ToSinkAlso(absl::LogSink* sink) // Sends this message to `*sink` in addition to whatever other sinks it // would otherwise have been sent to. `sink` must not be null. // * .ToSinkOnly(absl::LogSink* sink) // Sends this message to `*sink` and no others. `sink` must not be null. // // No interfaces in this header are async-signal-safe; their use in signal // handlers is unsupported and may deadlock your program or eat your lunch. // // Many logging statements are inherently conditional. For example, // `LOG_IF(INFO, !foo)` does nothing if `foo` is true. Even seemingly // unconditional statements like `LOG(INFO)` might be disabled at // compile-time to minimize binary size or for security reasons. // // * Except for the condition in a `CHECK` or `QCHECK` statement, programs must // not rely on evaluation of expressions anywhere in logging statements for // correctness. For example, this is ok: // // CHECK((fp = fopen("config.ini", "r")) != nullptr); // // But this is probably not ok: // // LOG(INFO) << "Server status: " << StartServerAndReturnStatusString(); // // The example below is bad too; the `i++` in the `LOG_IF` condition might // not be evaluated, resulting in an infinite loop: // // for (int i = 0; i < 1000000;) // LOG_IF(INFO, i++ % 1000 == 0) << "Still working..."; // // * Except where otherwise noted, conditions which cause a statement not to log // also cause expressions not to be evaluated. Programs may rely on this for // performance reasons, e.g. by streaming the result of an expensive function // call into a `DLOG` or `LOG_EVERY_N` statement. // * Care has been taken to ensure that expressions are parsed by the compiler // even if they are never evaluated. This means that syntax errors will be // caught and variables will be considered used for the purposes of // unused-variable diagnostics. For example, this statement won't compile // even if `INFO`-level logging has been compiled out: // // int number_of_cakes = 40; // LOG(INFO) << "Number of cakes: " << number_of_cake; // Note the typo! // // Similarly, this won't produce unused-variable compiler diagnostics even // if `INFO`-level logging is compiled out: // // { // char fox_line1[] = "Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!"; // LOG_IF(ERROR, false) << "The fox says " << fox_line1; // char fox_line2[] = "A-oo-oo-oo-ooo!"; // LOG(INFO) << "The fox also says " << fox_line2; // } // // This error-checking is not perfect; for example, symbols that have been // declared but not defined may not produce link errors if used in logging // statements that compile away. // // Expressions streamed into these macros are formatted using `operator<<` just // as they would be if streamed into a `std::ostream`, however it should be // noted that their actual type is unspecified. // // To implement a custom formatting operator for a type you own, there are two // options: `AbslStringify()` or `std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, ...)`. // It is recommended that users make their types loggable through // `AbslStringify()` as it is a universal stringification extension that also // enables `absl::StrFormat` and `absl::StrCat` support. If both // `AbslStringify()` and `std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, ...)` are // defined, `AbslStringify()` will be used. // // To use the `AbslStringify()` API, define a friend function template in your // type's namespace with the following signature: // // template <typename Sink> // void AbslStringify(Sink& sink, const UserDefinedType& value); // // `Sink` has the same interface as `absl::FormatSink`, but without // `PutPaddedString()`. // // Example: // // struct Point { // template <typename Sink> // friend void AbslStringify(Sink& sink, const Point& p) { // absl::Format(&sink, "(%v, %v)", p.x, p.y); // } // // int x; // int y; // }; // // To use `std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, ...)`, define // `std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, ...)` in your type's namespace (for // ADL) just as you would to stream it to `std::cout`. // // Currently `AbslStringify()` ignores output manipulators but this is not // guaranteed behavior and may be subject to change in the future. If you would // like guaranteed behavior regarding output manipulators, please use // `std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, ...)` to make custom types loggable // instead. // // Those macros that support streaming honor output manipulators and `fmtflag` // changes that output data (e.g. `std::ends`) or control formatting of data // (e.g. `std::hex` and `std::fixed`), however flushing such a stream is // ignored. The message produced by a log statement is sent to registered // `absl::LogSink` instances at the end of the statement; those sinks are // responsible for their own flushing (e.g. to disk) semantics. // // Flag settings are not carried over from one `LOG` statement to the next; this // is a bit different than e.g. `std::cout`: // // LOG(INFO) << std::hex << 0xdeadbeef; // logs "0xdeadbeef" // LOG(INFO) << 0xdeadbeef; // logs "3735928559" #ifndef ABSL_LOG_LOG_H_ #define ABSL_LOG_LOG_H_ #include "absl/log/internal/log_impl.h" // LOG() // // `LOG` takes a single argument which is a severity level.

Negative levels should not be used. // Example: // // VLOG(1) << "I print when you run the program with --v=1 or higher"; // VLOG(2) << "I print when you run the program with --v=2 or higher"; // // See vlog_is_on.h for further documentation, including the usage of the // --vmodule flag to log at different levels in different source files. // // `VLOG` does not produce any output when verbose logging is not enabled. // However, simply testing whether verbose logging is enabled can be expensive. // If you don't intend to enable verbose logging in non-debug builds, consider // using `DVLOG` instead. #define VLOG(severity) … // `DVLOG` behaves like `VLOG` in debug mode (i.e. `#ifndef NDEBUG`). // Otherwise, it compiles away and does nothing. #define DVLOG(severity) … // `LOG_IF` and friends add a second argument which specifies a condition. If // the condition is false, nothing is logged. // Example: // // LOG_IF(INFO, num_cookies > 10) << "Got lots of cookies"; // // There is no `VLOG_IF` because the order of evaluation of the arguments is // ambiguous and the alternate spelling with an `if`-statement is trivial. #define LOG_IF(severity, condition) … #define PLOG_IF(severity, condition) … #define DLOG_IF(severity, condition) … // LOG_EVERY_N // // An instance of `LOG_EVERY_N` increments a hidden zero-initialized counter // every time execution passes through it and logs the specified message when // the counter's value is a multiple of `n`, doing nothing otherwise.
