Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Log()

eis::Log::Log	(	Level	type,
		bool	endline = true )

Constructor.

This Constructor is to be used like a global stream. Thus if logging is desired the user of this api shal use Log(DEBUG)<<"This is a debugging meesage"; Using this constructor to create a lvalue has some negative side effects such as: Possibly holding a global lock for the lifetime of the object and potenttaly unintuative newline behavior.

Parameters

type	The Level to use for this message.
endline	If true an UNIX newline ' ' will be emmited when the oject is destroyed
