Improvements

  • Upgraded to the latest and greatest fmt library version 5.3.0.

  • New API for default logger spdlog::trace(..), spdlog::debug(..), spdlog::info(..), etc.
    For convenience, spdlog now creates a default global logger (to stdout, colored and multithreaded).
    It can be used easily by calling spdlog::info(..), spdlog::debug(..), etc directly without any preparations.

    It's instance can be replaced to any other logger (shared_ptr):

    spdlog::set_default_logger(some_other_logger);
spdlog::info("Use the new default logger");

  • Alignment support in log patterns.
    Each pattern flag can be aligned by prepending a width number(upto 128).
    Use-(left align) or = (center align) to control the align side:

    align meaning example result
    %<width><flag> Align to the right %8l "    info"
    %-<width><flag> Align to the left %-8l "info    "
    %=<width><flag> Align to the center %=8l "  info  "

  • Support for logging source filename, line number, and function name (thanks @possiblyhuman for contributing to this effort)

    flag meaning example
    %@ Source file and line (use SPDLOG_TRACE(..),SPDLOG_INFO(...) etc.) my_file.cpp:123
    %s Source file (use SPDLOG_TRACE(..),SPDLOG_INFO(...) etc.) my_file.cpp
    %# Source line (use SPDLOG_TRACE(..),SPDLOG_INFO(...) etc.) 123
    %! Source function (use SPDLOG_TRACE(..),SPDLOG_INFO(...) etc. see tweakme for pretty-print) my_func

  • Support for compile time check of log levels using #define SPDLOG_ACTIVE_LEVEL <level>.
    Use LOG_TRACE(..), LOG_DEBUG(..), LOG_INFO(..), etc. to enable.
    Those macros check at compile time the log level and translate to empty statement if the log level is not high enough. Even if a log macro evaluate to a log call, the macro will check at runtime the level before evaluating its arguments.
    So for example the following won't evaluate some_costly_function() because the logger's level is error:

    #define SPDLOG_ACTIVE_LEVEL SPDLOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
#include "spdlog/spdlog.h"
 ..
 spdlog::set_level(error);
 SPDLOG_DEBUG("Some costly arg: {}", some_costly_function());

  • CMake improvements. Thanks @dpacbach (85b4d7c, f5dc166 ).

  • Numerous small performance optimizations.

  • Global option that disables global registration of loggers set_automatic_registration(bool). Thanks @pabloariasal (#892).

  • Optimize logging of C strings by using string_view to avoid unnecessary copy. Thanks @peergynt (cb71fea).

  • Use google benchmark to test latencies.
