Class template basic_formatting_sink_frontend

boost::log::sinks::basic_formatting_sink_frontend — A base class for a logging sink frontend with formatting support.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/log/sinks/basic_sink_frontend.hpp>

template<typename CharT> 
class basic_formatting_sink_frontend : public basic_sink_frontend {
public:

Description

basic_formatting_sink_frontend public construct/copy/destruct

  1. explicit basic_formatting_sink_frontend(bool cross_thread);
    Initializing constructor.

    Parameters:

    cross_thread

    The flag indicates whether the sink passes log records between different threads

basic_formatting_sink_frontend public member functions

  1. template<typename FunT> void set_formatter(FunT const & formatter);

    The method sets sink-specific formatter function object

  2. void reset_formatter();

    The method resets the formatter

  3. std::locale getloc() const;

    The method returns the current locale used for formatting

  4. void imbue(std::locale const & loc);

    The method sets the locale used for formatting

basic_formatting_sink_frontend protected member functions

  1. formatter_type & formatter();
    Returns reference to the formatter.
  2. template<typename BackendMutexT, typename BackendT> 
      void feed_record(record_view const & rec, BackendMutexT & backend_mutex, 
                       BackendT & backend);
    Feeds log record to the backend.
  3. template<typename BackendMutexT, typename BackendT> 
      bool try_feed_record(record_view const & rec, BackendMutexT & backend_mutex, 
                           BackendT & backend);
    Attempts to feeds log record to the backend, does not block if backend_mutex is locked.
