Detailed Description

A singleton log file class. Allows the user to define log file in the test, which can be written to (without being passed around in the code).

Usage (in test):

// begining of test LogFile* p_log = LogFile::Instance(); p_log->Set(level, "dir","file"); p_log->WriteHeader("type_of_sim"); // optional

// at end of simulation LogFile::Close();

Here 'level' is a number between 0 and LogFile::MaxLoggingLevel, with zero meaning no logging and MaxLoggingLevel meaning full logging.

Usage (in source) - use the macro 'LOG' LOG(1, "Info to be written to the log file\n" << "More info\n"); LogFile::Instance()->WriteElapsedTime(); // optional

This checks whether the given level (here '1') is greater or equal to the given logging level, in which case it writes to the current log file. If there is no log file set up it does nothing.

Note the log file can be written to directly, without any level-checking, using (*LogFile::Instance()) << "Info to be written to the log file\n";

template<class T >

LogFile& LogFile::operator<< ( T message ) [inline]

Overloaded << operator, to write to the log file, if one has been set, and does nothing if not.

Parameters:

message the message to write to the log file

Definition at line 180 of file LogFile.hpp.

References mFileSet, and mPrecision.

void LogFile::Set	(	unsigned	level,
		const std::string &	rDirectory,
		const std::string &	rFileName = `"log.txt"`
	)

Set the logging level, the directory (relative to TEST_OUTPUT) and the file the log should be written to (file defaults to "log.txt").

The level should be a number between 0 and LogFile::MaxLoggingLevel() (which is the same as LogFile::mMaxLoggingLevel)

Note: we intentionally do NOT check or throw an exception if a file has already been set (i.e. Close() wasn't called the last time a log was used).

The directory is never cleaned.

Parameters:

level	the logging level
rDirectory	the directory in which to write the data to file
rFileName	the name of the file to write to, relative to the output directory

void LogFile::SetPrecision ( unsigned precision )

Set the precision to write data (the 'decimal precision', look up documentation for std::setprecision()).

Parameters:

precision the precision

void LogFile::WriteElapsedTime ( std::string pre = "" )

Write the elapsed time since the simulation began (since the log file was created).

Parameters:
