Detailed Description

Class to handle event and debug logging.

The event logger is a simple, lightweight, static class for logging events as they occur. To minimize impact, the logger uses c-style file IO techniques and c-strings.

A configurable character limit, for now set to 140 characters, is enforced on logging. If you can't tweet it, you shouldn't be logging it in a simulation or embedded framework.

This logging framework derived (sort of) from the Dr. Dobbs simple logging framework presented here: https:/// drdobbs.com/cpp/logging-in-c/201804215

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

EventLogger()

warptwin::EventLogger::EventLogger ( FILE * fp = stdout, unsigned int max_size = DEFAULT_MAX_MSG )

inline

Simple constructor for event logger.

Parameters

fp	File pointer to write to – set to stdout by default
max_size	Max size of message, in characters. Set to 140 by default

Member Function Documentation

flushLogs()

int warptwin::EventLogger::flushLogs

(

)

Function to flush the file buffer.

Note

Unless you're running real time, you probably don't need to call this

Returns

Error code corresponding to success/failure

logLevel() [1/2]

log_level_e warptwin::EventLogger::logLevel ( )

inline

Function to get log level for system.

Returns

Log level

logLevel() [2/2]

void warptwin::EventLogger::logLevel ( log_level_e level )

inline

Function to set logging level for system.

Parameters

level

Level to set logging to

logMessage()

int warptwin::EventLogger::logMessage	(	log_level_e	level,
		const std::string &	message,
		log_level_e	local_msg = LOG_NONE )

Function to write an event message.

Parameters

level	The log level of the referenced message
time	The time, written out as a string
message	The message to be written. Must be <MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE (140 char)
local_msg	The local level at which the message should be written out. Allows for higher local debugging

Returns

Error code corresponding to success/failure
