About:
log4cplus is a portable, thread-safe C++ logging library modeled after log4j. It provides a flexible framework for logging application output to various destinations like files, console, and network sockets. Its main value is offering robust, configurable logging capabilities for C++ applications.
Key Features:
  • Hierarchical logger namespaces
  • Multiple log levels (TRACE to FATAL)
  • Configurable output appenders
  • Thread-safe operation
  • Property file configuration
Use Cases:
  • Debugging complex C++ applications
  • Centralized logging in distributed systems
  • Application performance monitoring
Alternatives:
  • spdlog – Header-only and generally faster, but log4cplus offers a more traditional log4j-style configuration.
  • glog – Google's logging library with similar features, but log4cplus is more strictly modeled after log4j.
