Description:

This is a very simple file logger for textual log outputs. The file name string provided in the constructor is not verified. The fileName may be changed by simply setting the public member FileName.

In alignment with ALox principles (ALox does not throw!), the logger does not throw i/o exceptions. In debug-compilations, ALib warnings are issued. Recent system io/ errors are stored in public field# LastSystemError. The constructor tries to open/close the file with write permissions. For many applications, it should be enough to check this field after construction and take according actions on failure. Otherwise, errors may periodically be checked by an application (e.g., no space left on device, etc.).

Field Details:

◆ currentlyInMultiLineOp

bool alib::lox::loggers::TextFileLogger::currentlyInMultiLineOp = false

protected

Flag to prevent file open/close operations when multi line text logging is performed.

Definition at line 34 of file textfilelogger.inl.

◆ FileName

alib::AString alib::lox::loggers::TextFileLogger::FileName

The path and fileName to the log file.

Definition at line 42 of file textfilelogger.inl.

◆ LastSystemError

SystemErrors alib::lox::loggers::TextFileLogger::LastSystemError = SystemErrors::None

Errors that usually indicate i/o problems. With construction of the logger, the file is tried to be opened and closed, which might indicate major problems (permissions, path, etc) with this public field very early.
