Developing Omega Logging

Omega’s logging system is built upon the spdlog logging tool.

Logging macros and custom formatters for Kokkos data types have been integrated into the Omega logging system via the Logging.h header file located in the src/infra directory. Users who wish to utilize Omega’s logging capabilities must include this header file in their code.

The src/infra/Logging.cpp file encompasses various functions related to logging. As of the current version, this file contains the OMEGA::initLogging function, which initialize the logging process. It is recommended to invoke the OMEGA::initLogging function at the beginning of an Omega application to properly initialize the logging system.

Initializing Omega Logger

The OMEGA::initLogging function, located within the src/infra/Logging.cpp file, serves as a pivotal component for initializing the Omega logging system.

The function establishes the default logger configuration, ensuring that logging messages are effectively saved to a designated file. The path to this file is determined by utilizing the OMEGA_LOG_FILEPATH macro, which allows users to specify the desired file location for logging purposes.

Creating Logging Macros

The Omega logging macros, denoted by the prefix LOG_, are defined within the src/infra/Logging.h file. These macros constitute a main part of the logging infrastructure, enabling users to seamlessly incorporate logging functionality into their Omega applications.

Furthermore, the logging framework includes a distinct set of macros that commence with the prefix LOGGER_. These macros offer enhanced versatility by accommodating the utilization of the spdlog logger as their first argument. This approach facilitats the integration of various logger types.

Customer formatter for Kokkos

Within the same header file, you will encounter specialized spdlog formatter structs designed to accommodate Kokkos data types.
