Detailed Description

RootCategory sits at the top of the logger hierachy. It is a regular logger except that it provides several guarantees.

First, it cannot be assigned a null level. Second, since root logger cannot have a parent, the getEffectiveLevel method always returns the value of the level field without walking the hierarchy.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

RootCategory

(

const LevelPtr &

)

The root logger names itself as "root". However, the root logger cannot be retrieved by name.

Member Function Documentation

const LevelPtr & getEffectiveLevel

(

)

[virtual]

Return the assigned level value without walking the category hierarchy.

void setLevel

(

const LevelPtr &

level

)

[virtual]

Setting a null value to the level of the root category may have catastrophic results. We prevent this here.

Reimplemented from Logger.
