Anyone ever used boost::singleton together with boost::logger?

Question

i think it makes sense to use boost::singleton together with a boost::logger, so that all the objects in the executable can access the same logger and dump strings to it.

class logger_singleton
  : public boost::mutexed_singleton<logger_singleton>
{
  private
   boost::logger blogger;

  public:

    logger_singleton(boost::restricted);

    // public interface, e.g:
    int log_this_string(const std::string &a){blogger->strm()<<a;}
};

has anyone ever tried this and what do you think about it?

Answer 1

I don't think there is a boost logger library yet. If there were i suspect it would be designed such that using it with a singleton class as you describe would not be necessary.
