The decorator uses a predefined msgFormat string to enrich log messages with additional information (e.g. timestamp).

The msgFormat string and also the message text may contain additional variable names in the form {name} that are filled by values taken from a static thread local dictionary.

The logger keeps a configurable number of messages in a ring-buffer. A log message with a severity >= minLevel flushes the buffer, so the stored messages get written out. If the buffer is disabled, then only messages with severity >= minLevel are written out.

If you enable the buffer and use minLevel=2, then the application logs only errors together with some buffered debug messages. But as long no error occurs, nothing gets written out.

Each thread has it's own buffer.

The logger can be registered to handle messages from the static global functions qDebug(), qWarning(), qCritical() and qFatal(). @see set() describes how to set logger variables @see LogMessage for a description of the message decoration. @warning You should prefer a derived class, for example FileLogger, because logging to the console is less useful. */ class LOGGING_API Logger : public QObject { Q_OBJECT Q_DISABLE_COPY(Logger) public: /** Constructor.
