About:
Glog is a robust C++ logging library that provides application-level logging with severity levels, conditional logging, and customizable output formats. It automatically manages log files with features like log rotation and signal handlers for safe termination. The library is designed for low overhead and high performance, making it suitable for production systems.
Key Features:
  • Severity-based logging (INFO, WARNING, ERROR, FATAL)
  • Automatic log file management and rotation
  • Signal handlers for graceful crash logging
  • Low overhead and high performance
  • Customizable log formats and destinations
Use Cases:
  • Debugging and monitoring production C++ applications
  • System diagnostics and error tracking
  • Performance analysis through timestamped logs
Alternatives:
  • spdlog – Header-only, faster performance but less mature
  • log4cpp – More complex configuration, inspired by log4j
  • Boost.Log – More feature-rich but heavier dependency
