#define CCOUT

(

level

)

Value:

if (GGSSmartLog::verboseLevel >= GGSSmartLog::level)                                                                 \
  std::cout << std::setw(GGSSmartLog::maxRoutineNameLength + 13) << " "

Smart log utility which prints no header at the beginning of the line.

This macro is useful to continue the output of the standard COUT on subsequent lines without repeating the header at each line. For example:

static const std::string routineName("dummyFunction"); COUT(ERROR) << "Error reasons:" << ENDL; CCOUT(ERROR) << "- Reason 1" << ENDL; CCOUT(ERROR) << "- Reason 2" << ENDL;

will print:

[dummyFunction] ERROR Error reasons:

• Reason 1
• Reason 2

#define COUT

(

level

)

Value:

if (GGSSmartLog::verboseLevel >= GGSSmartLog::level)                                                                 \
  std::cout                                                                                                            \
      << std::setw(GGSSmartLog::maxRoutineNameLength + 3) << std::left                                                 \
      << std::string("[").append(GGSSmartLog::Format(routineName, GGSSmartLog::maxRoutineNameLength)).append("] ")     \
      << std::setw(10) << GGSSmartLog::levelNames[GGSSmartLog::level]

Smart log macro. It writes on stdout only if the specified verbosity level is lesser than the maximum one (GGSSmartLog::verboseLevel).

It requires to define a routineName string variable inside every context from which it is called. For example:

void dummyFunction{ static const std::string routineName("dummyFunction") COUT(ERROR) << "This is an error message." << ENDL;}

will print:

[dummyFunction] ERROR This is an error message.

only if GGSSmartLog::verboseLevel has been set to ERROR or higher.
