What is Pantheios?
Pantheios is an Open Source C/C++ Logging
API library, offering an optimal combination of 100% type-safety, efficiency,
genericity and extensibility. It is simple to use and extend, highly-portable
(platform and compiler-independent) and, best of all, it upholds the C tradition of
you only pay for what you use.
Pantheios supports logging of message statements of arbitrary complexity, consisting of
heterogenous types.
Pantheios supports filtering of log messages based on severity level including (but not
limited to) the eight levels defined by the SysLog
protocol.
Pantheios supports back-end output, individually and in combination, to
file,
stderr/stdout,
SysLog (including a custom implementation of the SysLog protocol for Windows),
Windows debugger,
Windows event log,
COM Error Object,
speech,
or any custom back-end extension you care to write. Importantly, Pantheios is
readily extended to use the existing transport mechanisms of feature-rich logging libraries
such as
ACE,
log4cpp,
log4cplus,
log4cxx.
Pantheios does not contain any compiler-specific or platform-specific constructs. It
supports UNIX (including Linux and Mac OS-X), and Windows, and should work
with any operating system. It is known to be compatible with Borland (5.5.1+), Comeau
(4.3.3+), Digital Mars (8.45+), GCC (3.2+), Intel (6+),
Metrowerks (8+), Microsoft Visual C++ (5.0+), and should work with any
reasonably modern C++ compiler.
Pantheios is completely free and includes source released under a BSD-style
licence. It is available for
download from SourceForge.net.
Pantheios was forked from a previous logging architecture, proprietary to
Synesis Software, in 2005, and has
been used in commercial projects in Australia, Europe and the US since
that time. In one project it serves a middleware suite that handles 10s
of millions of financial transactions per week, wherein it has an unmeasurably
low impact on performance when logging (of a given severity level) is switched
off. (It's also decidedly quick with logging switched on, of course ...). In
another, it's rock-solid reliability has served 10^11 logging events in a
transactional financial system in the heart of New York without a flutter.
Pantheios is the optimal combination of logging API features. It is the logging
API sweetspot! ( Click here if you're skeptical of this claim.)
Synesis Software provide commercial
customisation services for Pantheios, and other libraries, for those users
who need to squeeze out every last cycle of performance from their programs.
