[Live-devel] [PATCH] Enable logging levels, part1

[David Stegbauer]

Hi Ross,

Thank you for long reply. I understand how UsageEnvironment works and I also 
know how to derive and re implement "operator<<" virtual functions.

I'd rather say insufficient.
For example in RTSPClient.cpp there are
if (fVerbosityLevel >= 1) envir() << something;
all over the code.
But IMHO it looks not enough fine grained. Some of such "messages" are at debug 
level, some are at info level and some could even be on warning level.

Even more important is, that my code (like MyUsageEnvironment)  does not 
receive "verbosity level" in my operator<< for particular messages . So I'm 
not able to fiter them (or redirect to different destinations - console, file, 
syslog, ...).

I think proper logging is vital part of any non-trivial code. I'm willing to 
cooperate with you to introduce it in live555 library.

> But I'd prefer not to make any such changes right now

Well, but proper logging is really important for me right now. I have feeling 
you are actively trying to discourage me from making any changes to the 
library.

So the crucial questions are:
Are you willing to discuss modifications?
Are you willing to incorporate patches?

Best Regards
