boost.log error occured while using sink.set_filter


I use boost.log for my project. But when I tried to set filter for sinks, compilation errors came.

code are simple:

BOOST_LOG_ATTRIBUTE_KEYWORD(MyTag, "My_Tag", std::string);
BOOST_LOG_INLINE_GLOBAL_LOGGER_CTOR_ARGS(
        my_logger
        , boost::log::sources::channel_logger_mt< >
        , (boost::log::keywords::channel = "default"))

typedef boost::log::sinks::synchronous_sink<
            boost::log::sinks::text_ostream_backend > TextSink;
boost::shared_ptr< TextSink > logSink = boost::make_shared< TextSink >();
auto backSink = boost::make_shared<std::ofstream>("default.log");

!!! compilation error, no add_attribute in channel_logger !!!
my_logger::get().add_attribute("My_Tag"
                , boost::log::attributes::constant<String>("My_Tag"));

logSink->set_filter(
                    boost::log::expressions::has_attr(MyTag)
!!! compilation error, invalid operand expression between attribute_actor and std::string !!!
                    && boost::log::expressions::attr<std::string>("My_Tag")==std::string("My_Tag")
!!! compilation error, invalid operand expression between attribute_keyword<tag::MyTag> and char[7] !!!
                    && MyTag=="My_Tag"

I also tried to define filter function, but got following error:

bool my_filter(
            boost::log::value_ref< std::string
!!! compilation error, no tag_attr in boost::log::expressions::tag !!!
            , boost::log::expressions::tag::tag_attr > const& tag)
{
    return level >= warning || tag == "IMPORTANT_MESSAGE";
}

By the way, I also have following error, but this error will disappear if all other compilation errors were solved.

!!! no open_record in severity_logger_mt !!!
BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, normal) << "A regular message";

could anyone help me?

Solution

  • Most likely, you're missing #includes in your code.

    !!! compilation error, no add_attribute in channel_logger !!!
    my_logger::get().add_attribute("My_Tag"
                    , boost::log::attributes::constant<String>("My_Tag"));
    

    add_attribute is defined by basic_composite_logger, from which channel_logger_mt derives. You need to include boost/log/sources/channel_logger.hpp.

    !!! compilation error, invalid operand expression between attribute_actor and std::string !!!
                        && boost::log::expressions::attr<std::string>("My_Tag")==std::string("My_Tag")
    !!! compilation error, invalid operand expression between attribute_keyword<tag::MyTag> and char[7] !!!
                        && MyTag=="My_Tag"
    

    Most likely, you're missing an include of boost/phoenix/operator.hpp. Or you can include boost/log/expressions.hpp, which automatically includes it for you.

    !!! no open_record in severity_logger_mt !!!
    BOOST_LOG_SEV(slg, normal) << "A regular message";
    

    Same as with channel_logger_mt. You need to include boost/log/sources/severity_logger.hpp.

    Note that for every component in the docs, there is a list of associated Boost.Log headers in the very beginning of the section. Here is an example for the severity logger.


    Update on 2019-07-03:

    Your full code compiles, if the following includes are added:

    #include <string>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp>
    #include <boost/smart_ptr/make_shared_object.hpp>
    #include <boost/log/sources/global_logger_storage.hpp>
    #include <boost/log/sources/record_ostream.hpp>
    

    I also had to remove the "!!!" lines and use std::string instead of String in the constant attribute.

    In general, you have to include a header for every component you use in your code.
