I'm new to spdlog and following a tutorial which looks like this:
Log.h
#pragma once
#include "spdlog/spdlog.h"
#include "spdlog/fmt/ostr.h"
namespace Engine{
class Log{
public:
static void init();
inline static std::shared_ptr<spdlog::logger>& GetCoreLoger() { return s_CoreLogger; }
inline static std::shared_ptr<spdlog::logger>& GetClientLogger () { return s_ClientLogger;}
private:
static std::shared_ptr<spdlog::logger> s_CoreLogger;
static std::shared_ptr<spdlog::logger> s_ClientLogger;
};
}
//Client log macros
#define TRACE(...) ::Engine::Log::GetClientLogger()->trace(__VA_ARGS__)
#define INFO(...) ::Engine::Log::GetClientLogger()->info(__VA_ARGS__)
#define WARN(...) ::Engine::Log::GetClientLogger()->warn(__VA_ARGS__)
#define ERROR(...) ::Engine::Log::GetClientLogger()->error(__VA_ARGS__)
Log.cpp
#include "spdlog/sinks/stdout_color_sinks.h"
namespace Engine {
std::shared_ptr<spdlog::logger> Log::s_CoreLogger;
std::shared_ptr<spdlog::logger> Log::s_ClientLogger;
void Log::init() {
//The printing pattern, can be changed for preferance,
spdlog::set_pattern("%^[%T] %n: %v%$");
s_CoreLogger = spdlog::stdout_color_mt("VIO");
s_CoreLogger->set_level(spdlog::level::trace);
s_ClientLogger = spdlog::stdout_color_mt("APP");
s_ClientLogger->set_level(spdlog::level::trace);
}
};
This is ample for my work but I cannot seem to use variable's with it. I want to use something like this:
int test_var = 12;
INFO("The variable is: ", test_var, ".");
To get an output of:
[23:01:24] APP: The variable is: 12.
Right now the first [23:01:24] APP: The variable is:
part is working but for some reason I can't seem to have it display the variable.
How can I achieve this?
According to the spdlog's wiki pages, your formatting syntax is incorrect.
For formatting a variable, a placeholder {}
is required.
Try this:
int test_var = 12;
INFO("The variable is: {}{}", test_var, ".");
// ^^^^ adding these placeholders
