Full-featured logging system.

Eina provides eina_log_print(), a standard function to manage all logging messages. This function may be called directly or using the helper macros such as EINA_LOG_DBG(), EINA_LOG_ERR() or those that take a specific domain as argument EINA_LOG_DOM_DBG(), EINA_LOG_DOM_ERR(). Internally, eina_log_print() will call the function defined with eina_log_print_cb_set(), that defaults to eina_log_print_cb_stderr(), but may be changed to do whatever you need, such as networking or syslog logging.

The logging system is thread safe once initialized with eina_log_threads_enable(). The thread that calls this function first is considered "main thread" and other threads will have their thread id (pthread_self()) printed in the log message so it is easy to detect from where it is coming.

Log domains is the Eina way to differentiate messages. There might be different domains to represent different modules, different feature-set, different categories and so on. Filtering can be applied to domain names by means of EINA_LOG_LEVELS environment variable or eina_log_domain_level_set().

The different logging levels serve to customize the amount of debugging one want to take and may be used to automatically call abort() once some given level message is printed. This is controlled by environment variable EINA_LOG_ABORT and the level to be considered critical with EINA_LOG_ABORT_LEVEL. These can be changed with eina_log_abort_on_critical_set() and eina_log_abort_on_critical_level_set().

The default maximum level to print is defined by environment variable EINA_LOG_LEVEL, but may be set per-domain with EINA_LOG_LEVELS. It will default to EINA_LOG_ERR. This can be changed with eina_log_level_set().

To use the log system Eina must be initialized with eina_init() and later shut down with eina_shutdown(). Here is a straightforward example:

//Compile with:
//gcc -Wall -o eina_log_01 eina_log_01.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs eina`

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include <Eina.h>

void test_warn(void)
{
   EINA_LOG_WARN("Here is a warning message");
}

int main(void)
{
   if (!eina_init())
     {
        printf("log during the initialization of Eina_Log module\n");
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
     }

   eina_log_level_set(EINA_LOG_LEVEL_WARN);

   test_warn();

   eina_shutdown();

   return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

Compile this code with the following command:

gcc -Wall -o eina_log_01 eina_log_01.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs eina`

Now execute the program with:

EINA_LOG_LEVEL=2 ./eina_log_01

You should see a message displayed in the terminal.

Define Documentation

#define EINA_LOG	(	DOM,
		LEVEL,
		fmt,
		...
	)	do { (void) DOM; (void) LEVEL; (void) fmt; } while (0)

Logs a message on the specified domain, level and format.

Note:: If EINA_LOG_LEVEL_MAXIMUM is defined, then messages larger than this value will be ignored regardless of current domain level, the eina_log_print() is not even called! Most compilers will just detect the two integers make the branch impossible and remove the branch and function call all together. Take this as optimization tip and possible remove debug messages from binaries to be deployed, saving on hot paths. Never define EINA_LOG_LEVEL_MAXIMUM on public header files.

#define EINA_LOG_CRIT	(	fmt,
		...
	)

Value:

EINA_LOG(EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_DEFAULT, \
           EINA_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL, \
           fmt,                     \
           ## __VA_ARGS__)

Logs a message with level CRITICAL on the default domain with the specified format.

#define EINA_LOG_DBG	(	fmt,
		...
	)	EINA_LOG(EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_DEFAULT, EINA_LOG_LEVEL_DBG, fmt, ## __VA_ARGS__)

Logs a message with level DEBUG on the default domain with the specified format.

Examples:: eina_log_02.c.

#define EINA_LOG_DOM_CRIT	(	DOM,
		fmt,
		...
	)	EINA_LOG(DOM, EINA_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL, fmt, ## __VA_ARGS__)

Logs a message with level CRITICAL on the specified domain and format.

#define EINA_LOG_DOM_DBG	(	DOM,
		fmt,
		...
	)	EINA_LOG(DOM, EINA_LOG_LEVEL_DBG, fmt, ## __VA_ARGS__)

Logs a message with level DEBUG on the specified domain and format.

#define EINA_LOG_DOM_ERR	(	DOM,
		fmt,
		...
	)	EINA_LOG(DOM, EINA_LOG_LEVEL_ERR, fmt, ## __VA_ARGS__)

Logs a message with level ERROR on the specified domain and format.

#define EINA_LOG_DOM_INFO	(	DOM,
		fmt,
		...
	)	EINA_LOG(DOM, EINA_LOG_LEVEL_INFO, fmt, ## __VA_ARGS__)

Logs a message with level INFO on the specified domain and format.

#define EINA_LOG_DOM_WARN	(	DOM,
		fmt,
		...
	)	EINA_LOG(DOM, EINA_LOG_LEVEL_WARN, fmt, ## __VA_ARGS__)

Logs a message with level WARN on the specified domain and format.

#define EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_DEFAULT EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_GLOBAL

This macro defines the domain to use with the macros EINA_LOG_DOM_DBG(), EINA_LOG_DOM_INFO(), EINA_LOG_DOM_WARN(), EINA_LOG_DOM_ERR() and EINA_LOG_DOM_CRIT().

If not defined prior to the inclusion of this header, then it defaults to EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_GLOBAL.

Note:: One may like to redefine this in its code to avoid typing too much. In this case the recommended way is:

 #include <Eina.h>
 #undef EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_DEFAULT
 #define EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_DEFAULT _log_dom
 static int _log_dom = -1;

 int main(void)
 {
    eina_init();
    _log_dom = eina_log_domain_register("mydom", EINA_COLOR_CYAN);
    EINA_LOG_ERR("using my own domain");
    return 0;
 }

Warning:: If one defines the domain prior to inclusion of this header, the defined log domain symbol must be defined prior as well, otherwise the inlined functions defined by Eina will fail to find the symbol, causing build failure.

 #define EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_DEFAULT _log_dom
 static int _log_dom = -1; // must come before inclusion of Eina.h!
 #include <Eina.h>

 int main(void)
 {
    eina_init();
    _log_dom = eina_log_domain_register("mydom", EINA_COLOR_CYAN);
    EINA_LOG_ERR("using my own domain");
    return 0;
 }

		...
	)	EINA_LOG(EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_DEFAULT, EINA_LOG_LEVEL_ERR, fmt, ## __VA_ARGS__)

Logs a message with level ERROR on the default domain with the specified format.

Examples:: eina_log_02.c, and eina_simple_xml_parser_01.c.

		...
	)	EINA_LOG(EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_DEFAULT, EINA_LOG_LEVEL_INFO, fmt, ## __VA_ARGS__)

This method will colorize output based on domain provided color and message logging level.

To disable color, set environment variable EINA_LOG_COLOR_DISABLE=1. To enable color, even if directing to a file or when using a non-supported color terminal, use EINA_LOG_COLOR_DISABLE=0. If EINA_LOG_COLOR_DISABLE is unset (or -1), then Eina will disable color if terminal ($TERM) is unsupported or if redirecting to a file. Similarly, to disable file and line information, set EINA_LOG_FILE_DISABLE=1 or EINA_LOG_FUNCTION_DISABLE=1 to avoid function name in output. It is not acceptable to have both EINA_LOG_FILE_DISABLE and EINA_LOG_FUNCTION_DISABLE at the same time, in this case just EINA_LOG_FUNCTION_DISABLE will be considered and file information will be printed anyways.

Note:: MT: If threads are enabled, this function is called within locks.; MT: Threads different from main thread will have thread id appended to domain name.

Alternative logging method, this will output to standard output stream.

Parameters:

d	The domain.
level	The level.
file	The file which is logged.
fnc	The function which is logged.
line	The line which is logged.
fmt	The output format to use.
data	Not used.
args	The arguments needed by the format.

void eina_log_threads_enable ( void )

Enable logging module to handle threads.

There is no disable option on purpose, if it is enabled, there is no way back until you call the last eina_shutdown().

There is no function to retrieve if threads are enabled as one is not supposed to know this from outside.

After this call is executed at least once, if Eina was compiled with threads support then logging will lock around debug messages and threads that are not the main thread will have its identifier printed.

The main thread is considered the thread where the first eina_init() was called.

void eina_log_timing	(	int	domain,
		Eina_Log_State	state,
		const char *	phase
	)

Starts or stops the timing of a phase.

Parameters:

[in]	domain	The domain.
[in]	state	State indicating if we are starting or stopping a phase.
[in]	phase	The name of the phase to be used in the log.

Note:: One domain can be in only one phase at a time.; If you change the name of the phase, it is assumed that the previous phase has stopped.; The phase name should be available for all the life of the timing.

void eina_log_vprint	(	int	domain,
		Eina_Log_Level	level,
		const char *	file,
		const char *	fnc,
		int	line,
		const char *	fmt,
		va_list	args
	)

Prints out log message using given domain and level.

Note:: Usually you'll not use this function directly but the helper macros EINA_LOG(), EINA_LOG_DOM_CRIT(), EINA_LOG_CRIT() and so on. See eina_log.h

Parameters:

[in]	domain	Logging domain to use or `EINA_LOG_DOMAIN_GLOBAL` if you registered none. It is recommended that modules and applications have their own logging domain.
[in]	level	Message level, those with level greater than user specified value (eina_log_level_set() or environment variables EINA_LOG_LEVEL, EINA_LOG_LEVELS) will be ignored.
[in]	file	Filename that originated the call, must not be `NULL`.
[in]	fnc	Function that originated the call, must not be `NULL`.
[in]	line	Originating line in file.
[in]	fmt	Printf-like format to use. Should not provide trailing ' ' as it is automatically included.
[in]	args	The arguments needed by the format.
