    Looking for a Logging class

    I'm looking to use a logging class with a license that allows its free use.

    I have looked at Easylogging, GitHub - easylogging/easyloggingpp: Single header only C++ logging library. It is extremely light-weight, robust, fast performing, thread and type safe and consists of many built-in features. It provides ability to write logs in your own customized format. It also provide support for logging your classes, third-party libraries, STL and third-party containers etc., and Dr Dobbs Logger, A Lightweight Logger for C++ | Dr Dobb's.

    I'm looking just log instrument calls, threads opening/closing, warnings, exceptions, etc. in a multi-threaded environment. I plan to mostly just want to put things into a text file. So, from what I gather a simple logger should handle all my needs.

    Any suggestions?

    So what is wrong with either of those solutions you posted?

    You could just strip out any fluff you don't want.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Nothing per se, other than are they battle tested logger or are there others that are aside from using something like boost?

    To be honest, logging functionality is something simple enough that I roll my own as I go.

    If it works, go with one or the other.
