Description

Stream wrapper for log records formatting.

This stream wrapper is used by the library for log record formatting. It implements the standard string stream interface with a few differences:

  • It does not derive from standard types std::basic_ostream, std::basic_ios and std::ios_base, although it tries to implement their interfaces closely. There are a few small differences, mostly regarding rdbuf and str signatures, as well as the supported insertion operator overloads. The actual wrapped stream can be accessed through the stream methods.

  • By default, bool values are formatted using alphabetical representation rather than numeric.

  • The stream supports writing strings of character types different from the stream character type. The stream will perform character code conversion as needed using the imbued locale.

  • The stream operates on an external string object rather than on the embedded one. The string can be attached or detached from the stream dynamically.

Although basic_formatting_ostream does not derive from std::basic_ostream, users are not required to add special overloads of operator<< for it since the stream will by default reuse the operators for std::basic_ostream. However, one can define special overloads of operator<< for basic_formatting_ostream if a certain type needs special formatting when output to log.

basic_formatting_ostream public construct/copy/destruct

  1. basic_formatting_ostream();

    Default constructor. Creates an empty record that is equivalent to the invalid record handle. The stream capability is not available after construction.

    Postconditions:

    !*this == true

  2. explicit basic_formatting_ostream(string_type & str);

    Initializing constructor. Attaches the string to the constructed stream. The string will be used to store the formatted characters.

    Parameters:

    str

    The string buffer to attach.

    Postconditions:

    !*this == false

  3. basic_formatting_ostream(basic_formatting_ostream const & that) = delete;
    Copy constructor (closed)
  4. basic_formatting_ostream & 
    operator=(basic_formatting_ostream const & that) = delete;
    Assignment (closed)
  5. ~basic_formatting_ostream();

    Destructor. Destroys the record, releases any sinks and attribute values that were involved in processing this record.

basic_formatting_ostream public member functions

  1. void attach(string_type & str);

    Attaches the stream to the string. The string will be used to store the formatted characters.

    Parameters:

    str

    The string buffer to attach.

  2. void detach();

    Detaches the stream from the string. Any buffered data is flushed to the string.

  3. string_type const & str() const;

    Returns:

    Reference to the attached string. The string must be attached before calling this method.

  4. ostream_type & stream();

    Returns:

    Reference to the wrapped stream

  5. ostream_type const & stream() const;

    Returns:

    Reference to the wrapped stream
