Detailed Description

Class to encapsulate tracing functions.

This class does not require any instances and is only being used as a method of grouping functions together in a name space.

There are a number of macros for supporting tracing. These will all evaluate as empty in a "No Trace" build of the system:

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum PTrace::Options

Options for trace output.

Enumerator
Blocks	Include PTrace::Block constructs in output If this is bit is clear, all PTrace::Block output is inhibited regardless of the trace level. If set, the PTrace::Block may occur provided the trace level is greater than zero.
DateAndTime	Include date and time in all output.
Timestamp	Include (millisecond) timestamp in all output.
Thread	Include identifier for thread trace is made from in all output.
TraceLevel	Include trace level, as a numeric value, in all output.
FileAndLine	Include the file and line for the trace call in all output.
ThreadAddress	Include thread object pointer address in all trace output.
AppendToFile	Append to log file rather than resetting every time.
GMTTime	Output timestamps in GMT time rather than local time.
RotateDaily	If set, log file will be rotated daily.
RotateHourly	If set, log file will be rotated hourly.
RotateMinutely	If set, log file will be rotated every minute.
RotateLogMask	Mask for all the rotate bits.
ObjectInstance	Include object instance in all trace output.
ContextIdentifier	Include context identifier in all trace output.
SystemLogStream	SystemLog flag for tracing within a PServiceProcess application. Setting this flag will automatically execute `#SetStream(new PSystemLog)`.
HasFilePermissions	Flag indicating file permissions are to be set.
FilePermissionMask	Mask for setting standard file permission mask as used in open() or creat() system function calls.
FilePermissionShift

Member Function Documentation

static ostream& PTrace::Begin	(	unsigned	level,
		const char *	fileName,
		int	lineNum,
		const PObject *	instance = `NULL`,
		const char *	module = `NULL`
	)

static

Begin a trace output.

If the trace stream output is used outside of the provided macros, it should be noted that a mutex is obtained on the call to Begin() which will prevent any other threads from using the trace stream until the End() function is called.

So a typical usage would be:


  ostream & s = PTrace::Begin(3, FILE, LINE);
  s << "hello";
  if (want_there)
    s << " there";
  s << '!' << PTrace::End;

Parameters

level	Log level for output
fileName	Filename of source file being traced
lineNum	Line number of source file being traced.
instance	Instance for object logging occurred in
module	Module or subsection string

static ostream& PTrace::Begin	(	unsigned	level,
		const char *	fileName,
		int	lineNum,
		const char *	module,
		const PObject *	instance,
		const char *	defModule
	)

inlinestatic

Parameters

level	Log level for output
fileName	Filename of source file being traced
lineNum	Line number of source file being traced.
module	Module or subsection string
instance	Instance for object logging occurred in

Parameters

level	Log level for output
fileName	Filename of source file being traced
lineNum	Line number of source file being traced.
instance	Instance for object logging occurred in
module	Module or subsection string

static PBoolean PTrace::CanTrace ( unsigned level )

static

Determine if the level may cause trace output.

This checks against the current global trace level set by SetLevel() for if the trace output may be emitted. This is used by the PTRACE() macro.

Parameters

level Trace level to check

static void PTrace::ClearOptions ( unsigned options )

static

Clear the trace options.

The PTRACE(), PTRACE_BLOCK() and PTRACE_LINE() macros output trace text that may contain assorted values. These are defined by the Options enum.

Note this function AND's the complement of the bits included in the options parameter.

Parameters

options Option bits to turn off

static ostream& PTrace::End ( ostream & strm )

static

End a trace output.

If the trace stream output is used outside of the provided macros, the End() function must be used at the end of the section of trace output. A mutex is obtained on the call to Begin() which will prevent any other threads from using the trace stream until the End(). The End() is used in a similar manner to std::endl or std::flush.

So a typical usage would be:


  ostream & s = PTrace::Begin();
  s << "hello";
  if (want_there)
    s << " there";
  s << '!' << PTrace::End;

Parameters

strm	Trace output stream being completed

static unsigned PTrace::GetLevel ( )

static

Get the trace level.

The PTRACE() macro checks to see if its level is equal to or lower then the level set by this function. If so then the trace text is output to the trace stream.

static unsigned PTrace::GetNextContextIdentifier ( )

static

static unsigned PTrace::GetOptions ( )

static

Get the current trace options.

The PTRACE(), PTRACE_BLOCK() and PTRACE_LINE() macros output trace text that may contain assorted values. These are defined by the Options enum.

static ostream* PTrace::GetStream ( )

static

Get the stream being used for trace output.

static void PTrace::Initialise	(	const PArgList &	args,
		unsigned	options = `Timestamp\|Thread\|Blocks`,
		const char *	traceCount = `PTRACE_ARG_TRACE`,
		const char *	outputFile = `PTRACE_ARG_OUTPUT`,
		const char *	traceOpts = `PTRACE_ARG_OPTION`,
		const char *	traceRollover = `PTRACE_ARG_ROLLOVER`,
		const char *	traceLevel = `PTRACE_ARG_LEVEL`
	)

static

Set the most common trace options.

This sets trace options based on command line arguments.

Parameters

args	Command line arguments
options	Default Options for tracing
traceCount	Argument option name for trace count
outputFile	Argument option name for log output file
traceOpts	Argument option name for trace options
traceRollover	Argument option name for trace file roll over pattern
traceLevel	Argument option name for trace level

static void PTrace::Initialise	(	unsigned	level,
		const char *	filename = `NULL`,
		unsigned	options = `Timestamp\|Thread\|Blocks`,
		const char *	rolloverPattern = `NULL`
	)

static

Set the most common trace options.

If filename is not NULL then a PTextFile is created and attached the trace output stream. This object is never closed or deleted until the termination of the program.

There are several special values for filename:

"stderr": Output to standard error
"stdout": Output to standard output
"DEBUGSTREAM": Output to debugger (Windows only)
"syslog,ident,priority,options,facility": Output to syslog (Unix variants only) The ident, priority, options & facility components are optional, so "syslog", "syslog,myappname", "syslog,myappname,3" are all acceptable. See PSystemLogToSyslog for their exact meaning.
"network,host:port,facility": Output to RFC3164 network log server. The server and facility components are optional. The default server would be "localhost" Also, the port is an optional field for the server component, defaulting to the RFC3164 standard value. So, "network,10.0.1.1" or "network,fred:1234" are acceptable. See PSystemLogToNetwork for more.

If rolloverPattern is not NULL it is used as the time format pattern appended to filename if the RotateLogMask bits are set. Default is "yyyy_MM_dd".

A trace output of the program name, version, OS abnd other information is written to the log immediately.

Parameters

level	Level for tracing
filename	Filename for log output
options	Options for tracing
rolloverPattern	Pattern for rolling over trace files

static void PTrace::Initialise	(	unsigned	level,
		const char *	filename,
		const char *	rolloverPattern,
		unsigned	options = `Timestamp \| Thread \| Blocks`
	)

static ostream& PTrace::PrintInfo	(	ostream &	strm,
		bool	crlf = `true`
	)

static

Output trace parameters (level, output, options etc) to stream.

static void PTrace::SetLevel ( unsigned level )

static

Set the trace level.

The PTRACE() macro checks to see if its level is equal to or lower then the level set by this function. If so then the trace text is output to the trace stream.

Parameters

level New level for tracing

static void PTrace::SetOptions ( unsigned options )

static

Set the trace options.

The PTRACE(), PTRACE_BLOCK() and PTRACE_LINE() macros output trace text that may contain assorted values. These are defined by the Options enum.

Note this function OR's the bits included in the options parameter.

Parameters

options New option bits for tracing

static void PTrace::SetStream ( ostream * out )

static

Set the stream to be used for trace output.

This stream is used for all trace output using the various trace functions and macros.

Parameters

out	New output stream from trace.

static void PTrace::WalkStack	(	ostream &	strm,
		PThreadIdentifier	id = `PNullThreadIdentifier`
	)
