Synopsis

The LoggerHolder class implements a hierarchy of loggers. It has a log sink of its own and can have multiple parent LoggerHolder objects representing the log info of parent objects. It is used by class ImageInterface , but could also be used elsewhere.

The sink of a LoggerHolder can be different depending on the type of image. E.g. for a transient image it can be a MemoryLogSink , while for a persistent image it will be a TableLogSink .
An important feature is that an LoggerHolder can have zero or more parent LoggerHolder objects. In that way the log of the parent object of an image object can be made part of the log of the image object itself, without having to copy the log.

To iterate through all messages in a LoggerHolder (including all parents), the LoggerHolderIterator can be used. This is an STL-style const_iterator object.

LoggerHolder uses reference counting (of class LoggerHolderRep ) to be able to retain the object after the (ImageInterface) object containing it is gone. Otherwise classes like SubImage would lose their log info.

Example

     LoggerHolder logger ("tLoggerHolder_tmp.log", True);
     logger.logio() << "test1" << LogIO::POST;
     logger.logio() << "test2" << LogIO::POST;
     for (LoggerHolder::const_iterator iter = logger.begin();
          iter != logger.end();
          iter++) {
       cout << iter->time() << ' ' << iter->message() << endl;
     }
This example shows the construction of an LoggerHolder with a TableLogSink sink. Thereafter some messages are written. The latter part shows how to iterate through all messages.

     LoggerHolder logger (False);
     logger.addParent (parent.logger());
     logger.logio() << "test1" << LogIO::POST;
     logger.logio() << "test2" << LogIO::POST;
This example shows the construction of an LoggerHolder with a MemoryLogSink sink (e.g. for a SubImage). Thereafter the logger of the parent image is added to it. Finally some messages are written.

Motivation

This class simplifies and unifies all Image logging activities.

void casa::LoggerHolder::addParent ( const LoggerHolder  ) 

Add a logger from a parent.

void casa::LoggerHolder::append ( const LoggerHolder other  )

void casa::LoggerHolder::reopenRW (  ) 

Reopen a readonly logtable for read/write (if needed).

void casa::LoggerHolder::reopen (  )  [inline]

Reopen the log table if needed (after a tempClose).

void casa::LoggerHolder::tempClose ( Bool  closeParents = True  )  const

Temporarily close all log tables.

By default the possible parent log tables are also closed.

void casa::LoggerHolder::unlock (  ) 

Unlock the log table.

void casa::LoggerHolder::flush (  ) 

Flush the log table.

void casa::LoggerHolder::resync (  ) 

Resync the log table (if needed).

Bool casa::LoggerHolder::isTempClosed (  )  const [inline]

Is the log table temporarily closed?

LogIO & casa::LoggerHolder::logio (  )  [inline]

Get access to the logger.

It assumes that it will be used to post a message, so it reopens the log table for read/write if needed).

References itsRep.

Referenced by casa::ImageInterface< std::complex< Float > >::logSink().

LogSink & casa::LoggerHolder::sink (  )  [inline]

Get access to the log sink (reopen the log table if needed).

It is not assumed you want to write. If you want to do that, you should first call reopenRW() to ensure you can write.

void casa::LoggerHolder::clear (  ) 

Clear the log.

It removes the parents and removes all messages from the sink.

void casa::LoggerHolder::removeParents (  ) 

Remove all parents.

const Block< LoggerHolder > & casa::LoggerHolder::parents (  )  const [inline]

Return the block of parents.
