Re: toggling NSlog for framework

Hi Chuck,

Here's my situation. I have my main WOApplication which does a fair amount of SQL. I also link in a framework (homegrown) that does a lot of SQL on its own.

At this point, I'm happy with the framework and I trust that it's doing the correct thing. When I want to debug the SQL for the application I turn on adaptor logging with the command line option. Now my log is filled with stuff from the framework.

I took a glance at the NSLog logging groups stuff. But it looked like a lot of work to get what I want; essentially I would like lots of debug groups. I guess I'm used to syslog and other logging systems that where the logging statement is of the form
log(<FACILITY>, <LEVEL>, "msg");
but NSLog requires
if (NSLog.debugLoggingAllowedFor...(FACILITY) &&
NSLog.debugLoggingAllowedFor...(LEVEL))
NSLog.out(msg);

which is a headache bordering on migraine. I realize that there will be a performance issue if you don't do it NSLog's way. That limits the possibilities quite a bit. No macros in Java makes it that much more annoying. Running all the code through M4 would be pesky.

I guess I'm asking for a best implementation approach to logging. On its own, NSLog is a fine point of departure. But it's not sufficient. I have, in the distant past, created logging facilities that enabled debugging of complex applications just by reviewing a trace file. I can't see being successful to the same degree at that with NSLog.

Maybe I'm just a whinging git :-)

Hi Arturo,

I'm not clear on what you are trying to achieve. You want to not log for a certain sub-set of entities? Would it be easier to turn logging on and off around the pieces of code that you *do* want logging from?

Hi all,

I have a framework with its own EOModel. I would like to disable EOAdaptorDebugging on "entry" to this framework and reenable on "exit". Any suggestions for how to do that?

TIA
