00033 // Implementation details concerning SENF_LOG_CLASS_AREA
00034 //
00035 // The SENF_LOG_CLASS_AREA statement shall declare the containing class as it's own default area. Of
00036 // course, we cannot make the containing class into an area. Therefore we need to trick around a bit:
00037 //
00038 // We begin by defining an area SENFLogArea with in the class. This area however is hacked, so that
00039 // it's name() member will return the name of the containing class (which is simple: just cut of the
00040 // last couple of characters of the name since the name will always end in '::SENFLogArea').
00041 //
00042 // This however does not allow the use of the containing class as an area. There are several places
00043 // which need to be adjusted to allow using the containing class as an area: The logging statements
00044 // (SENF_LOG), the compile time configuration via SENF_LOG_CONF and the runtime configuration via
00045 // route statements.
00046 //
00047 // Lets begin with the compile time configuration. The compile time configuration is done using
00048 // specialization of the senf::log::detail::Config template. This doesn't care, what the area
00049 // template argument really is. Therefore, compile-time configuration just uses the containing class
00050 // as is. So we need to make sure, that the logging statements use the containing class when
00051 // checking the compile-time limit whereas they need to use the nested SENFLogArea when calling the
00052 // targets.
00053 //
00054 // So let's look at the logging statements. The central logic for parsing the logging parameters is
00055 // in SENF_LOG_MERGE_PARAMETERS in Parameters.ih. Here we have a special case which detects classes
00056 // with a SENFLogArea member and then set's things up correctly: It uses the containing class for
00057 // compile time checking (this is, what 'area_base' typedef is for) while using the nested
00058 // SENFLogArea for routing (this is, what the 'area' typedef is for).
00059 //
00060 // So the last thing which needs to be adjusted is the routing which is part of the Target
00061 // class. Here for each template taking an area as an argument we really provide TWO templates, one
00062 // taking the area directly, the other checking for a nested SENFLogArea member. We can
00063 // differentiate these overloads using boost::enable_if and friends.
00064 //
00065 // This setup makes a class with SENF_LOG_CLASS_AREA() look like an ordinary area even though the
00066 // implementation is somewhat different.
