The Log module is a collection of C/C++ functions, wihch can be used to print some formatted output to a window.
| • | Displays formatted output (like printf) in a window. |
| • | Is able to redirect C++-standard output streams (cout, cerr). |
| • | Does a kind of redirection for C-stdout (printf(), fprintf(stdout)). |
| • | Demonstrates the use of the Plixx-Build-Environment. |
Compatibilty:
| System | Compiler | State |
|---|---|---|
| MS-Win 2K, XP | MS VisualC++ 6.0 | + |
| MS-Win 2K, XP (CygWin) | GCC 3.2.1 | + |
| Solaris 2.6 | GCC 2.95.1 | ? (Not testet lately, probably needs some fixes) |
| Linux SuSE 6.3 | GCC 2.92.x | ? (Not testet lately, probably needs some fixes) |
| FreeBSD 4.x | GCC 2.92.x | - (does not compile, makefiles needs some tinkering) |
This screen shot shows the log-test application using the log-module in debug-mode runing on MS-Windows XP. The console window in the background got its output after disabling the redirection and clicking the output buttons in reverse order.

The state of the log-module is considered preliminary. It works as depicted, but there are several enhancements desirable: some code-clean up, support for more compilers/os's, output to file, formatted output with line-prefixes. These enhancements may be done when the need for them arises while implementing Plixxard.
