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):

 // beginning 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<< ( message)
inline
Returns
reference to this object (as convention) Overloaded << operator, to write to the log file, if one has been set, and does nothing if not.
Parameters
messagethe message to write to the log file

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
levelthe logging level
rDirectorythe directory in which to write the data to file
rFileNamethe 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
precisionthe precision

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

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

Parameters
prea string (eg spacings) to write before the elapsed time line.

void LogFile::WriteHeader ( std::string  simulationType = "")

Write a header in the log file, stating the (given) type of simulation and the date and time.

Parameters
