can not under stand your question, but logger did you require? a plugin? can you explain more?

when i write some informations out of my project like

int xyz = 5;
std::cout << \n this is value of variable xyz : " << xyz;

it writes out

 this is value of variable xyz : 5

to the system / console;

i want that to be written into a file so that instead writing std::cout

i implement a logger by

something like


# include "theLogger.h"


theLogger myLog;
myLog.info(" \n this is value of variable xyz : " , xyz) ;

in any common language this type of functionallity is called a logger or Logging Plugin/framework/class.

some SDK´s like eclipse in java has such plugin´s  http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-eclog/ for example.

thatfor i asked if C::B also offers such a feature or if someone could recommend a logger for c/c++ because the console output is not realy helpfull for larger projects.

I don't think C::B need this feature. (though I still not understand your feature request)
I think you can implement this feature in your own C++ code, and you can search on google for logger, there are a lot there.

thats maybe the problem... it is no feature request, it was a simple question if someone could reccomend a logger or if C::B has a ready to work plugin for that without a big set up :), thx anyway

Read this: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ#Q:_What_Code::Blocks_is_not.3F and then ask in the correct forum...

If you use wxWidgets as framework, you can also use the logging capabilities of it: http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxlogoverview.html#wxlogoverview (http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxlogoverview.html#wxlogoverview)

But be aware that Code::Blocks is neither a compiler nor a framework ("just" an IDE that works with many compilers) and it can be used with other languages than C/C++ (even if the main focus is there). So an own logging-class does not really make sense.

And writing an own simple text-to-file logger in C++ should not be too hard.
