AnsiLogger Class Reference

Description:

A logger that logs all messages to the std::basic_ostream instance provided in the constructor. The name of the Logger defaults to "ANSI_LOGGER".

ALox text logger escape sequences (see class ESC) are translated to ANSI escape sequences. Support for ANSI escape sequences (also referred to as VT100 terminal emulation) is available on most unix terminal windows. Besides text colors, bold and italics font style can be set. ANSI escape sequences are also available in various IDE output windows.

Foreground and background colors can be set to be either light/dark or dark/light. This improves the readability of log output a lot and even allows reading if foreground and background colors are the same (they then still differ). However, the right setting for this is dependent on the color scheme of the final output device (window). To manipulate the right setting, see field CFP and also configuration variable ALOX/CONSOLE_LIGHT_COLORS.

In the method AcknowledgeLox, the default meta info string and color settings are changed to fit this logger.

Note
Instead of using ANSI sequences in the format strings directly, which would lower the run-time cost a little, ESC sequences are used because this way the light/dark color selection, which depends on the field CFP is performed correctly.

There is not 100% match between the ANSI sequences and the definitions in ESC. For example ESC does not provide all ANSI colors and no blinking. On the other hand, ANSI does not allow to reset the style without resetting the colors. Of course, it is no problem to log other ANSI codes directly into an AnsiLogger. In this case, other Loggers that might be attached to the same Lox and that do not support ANSI must be equipped with corresponding replacement information. In other words: To support the same log output into different loggers, it is recommended to use ESC sequences instead of directly using ANSI codes.

The ANSI codes used by this class are exposed through a list of fields. They might be useful for manipulating the attributes of the various inherited format variables, which of course might contain native ANSI sequences. (In contrast to the log messages themselves, this meta-information is specific to a logger instance and this way it does not need to be replaced in other loggers).

◆ CFP

As of today, this parameter struct has only one value of type LightColorUsage. With this logger, this flag is used as follows.

Foreground and background colors chosen by this class might differ in their intensity. This increases the overall readability by increasing the contrast. If the background color of a console window is dark, then the background colors of colored log output should be darker colors than the foreground colors - and vice versa.

Depending on the setting of this field, ALox escape codes for colors are translated to normal ANSI colors or lighter ones:

  • If this field evaluates to Never, light colors are never used.
  • If this field is Foreground, colors will be light colors and background colors dark ones. This is the default.
  • With Background, background colors will be light colors and foreground colors dark ones.

The configuration variable ALOX/CONSOLE_LIGHT_COLORS allows externally modifying this flag. It is read once within the constructor.

const NString & name = nullptr,
const NString & typeName = "ANSI" )
inlineexplicit

Creates an AnsiLogger using the given output stream.

Note
If std::cout respectively std::wcout must not be provided here. Instead, the alternative constructor omitting parameter pOStream is to be used.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ ~AnsiLogger()

~AnsiLogger ( )
overridevirtual

Destructs an AnsiLogger.

Definition at line 51 of file ansilogger.cpp.

Method Details:

◆ AcknowledgeLox()

void AcknowledgeLox ( detail::LoxImpl * lox,
lang::ContainerOp op )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Invokes parent method. Then reads and interprets configuration variable ALOX/CONSOLE_LIGHT_COLORS. Finally it is checked if variable ALOX/LOGGERNAME/FORMAT has priority of default values, and if yes, such values are overwritten to include ANSI color codes. These color codes are retrieved from resources named "Var_D21A".

Parameters
loxThe Lox to acknowledge insertion or removal
opThe operation. Either ContainerOp::Insert or ContainerOp::Remove.

Reimplemented from TextLogger.

◆ logText()

void logText ( detail::Domain & domain,
Verbosity verbosity,
AString & msg,
detail::ScopeInfo & scope,
int lineNumber )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Implementation of the abstract method of parent class TextLogger. Logs messages to the basic output stream provided in the constructor. Replaces ALox ESC escape sequences with ANSI escape sequences.

Parameters
domainThe Log Domain.
verbosityThe verbosity. This has been checked to be active already on this stage and is provided to be able to be logged out only.
msgThe log message.
scopeInformation about the scope of the Log Statement..
lineNumberThe line number of a multi-line message, starting with 0. For single line messages this is -1.

Implements TextLogger.
