#include <trace_source.h>

Definition

Provides a set of methods and properties that enable applications to trace the execution of code and associate trace messages with their source.

Namespace: xtd::diagnostics

Library: xtd.core

Remarks: The trace_source class is used by applications to produce traces that can be associated with the application. trace_source provides tracing methods that allow you to easily trace events, trace data, and issue informational traces.; The trace_source class is identified by the name of a source, typically the name of the application. The trace messages coming from a particular component can be initiated by a particular trace source, allowing all messages coming from that component to be easily identified.; trace_source defines tracing methods but does not actually provide any specific mechanism for generating and storing tracing data. The tracing data is produced by trace listeners, which are plug-ins that can be loaded by trace sources.; You can customize the tracing output's target by adding or removing trace_listener instances to or from the collection stored in the trace_source::listeners property. By default, trace output is produced using an instance of the default_trace_listener class.

Note: Adding a trace listener to the listeners collection can cause an exception to be thrown while tracing, if a resource used by the trace listener is not available. The conditions and the exception thrown depend on the trace listener and cannot be enumerated in this topic. It may be useful to place calls to the trace_source methods in try/catch blocks to detect and handle any exceptions from trace listeners.

Remarks: The source_switch class provides the means to dynamically control the tracing output. You can modify the value of the source switch without recompiling your application.; The trace_event_type enumeration is used to define the event type of the trace message. Trace filters use the trace_event_type to determine if a trace listener should produce the trace message.; The trace listeners can optionally have an additional layer of filtering through a trace filter. If a trace listener has an associated filter, the listener calls the should_trace method on that filter to determine whether or not to produce the trace information.; The trace listeners use the values of the trace class properties indent, indent_size, and auto_flush to format trace output.

const xtd::diagnostics::source_switch & xtd::diagnostics::trace_source::source_switch ( ) const

Gets the source switch value.

Returns: A SourceSwitch object representing the source switch value.

Remarks: The source_switch property allows the filtering of messages before the trace source calls the listeners.; The switch is used to check whether trace calls should be generated or ignored. Each trace method calls the should_trace method of the source_switch to determine whether to proceed with the trace. If the call returns true, the listeners are called.

void xtd::diagnostics::trace_source::source_switch ( const xtd::diagnostics::source_switch & source_switch )

Sets the source switch value.

Parameters

source_switch A SourceSwitch object representing the source switch value.

Remarks: The source_switch property allows the filtering of messages before the trace source calls the listeners.; The switch is used to check whether trace calls should be generated or ignored. Each trace method calls the should_trace method of the source_switch to determine whether to proceed with the trace. If the call returns true, the listeners are called.

◆ trace_data() [1/2]

template<typename object_t >

void xtd::diagnostics::trace_source::trace_data	(	const xtd::diagnostics::trace_event_type &	event_type,
		int32_t	id,
		const object_t &	data
	)

inline

Parameters

event_type	One of the enumeration values that specifies the event type of the trace data.
id	A numeric identifier for the event.
data	The trace data.

Remarks: The trace_data method, like the trace_event method, is intended for automated tools, but it also allows the attaching of an additional object, such as an exception instance, to the trace.; The trace_data method calls the source_switch::should_trace method of the source_switch object returned by the source_switch property. If should_trace returns true, trace_data calls the corresponding trace_data method on all listeners. Otherwise, trace_data returns without calling the listeners' methods.

◆ trace_data() [2/2]

template<typename object_t >

void xtd::diagnostics::trace_source::trace_data	(	const xtd::diagnostics::trace_event_type &	event_type,
		int32_t	id,
		const std::vector< object_t > &	data

Parameters

event_type	One of the enumeration values that specifies the event type of the trace data.
id	A numeric identifier for the event.
data	The trace data.

Remarks: The trace_data method, like the trace_event method, is intended for automated tools, but it also allows the attaching of an additional object, such as an exception instance, to the trace.; The trace_data method calls the source_switch::should_trace method of the source_switch object returned by the source_switch property. If should_trace returns true, trace_data calls the corresponding trace_data method on all listeners. Otherwise, trace_data returns without calling the listeners' methods.

◆ trace_event() [1/3]

Remarks: The trace_event method is intended to trace events that can be processed automatically by tools. For example, a monitoring tool can notify an administrator if a specific event is traced by a specific source.

◆ trace_event() [2/3]

template<typename ... objects>

void xtd::diagnostics::trace_source::trace_event	(	const xtd::diagnostics::trace_event_type &	event_type,

void xtd::diagnostics::trace_source::trace_information	(	const xtd::ustring &	format,
		const objects_t &...	args
	)

inline

Writes an informational message to the trace listeners in the listeners collection using the specified object array and formatting information.

Parameters

format	A composite format string that contains text intermixed with zero or more format items, which correspond to objects in the args array.
args...	An array containing zero or more objects to format.

Remarks: The trace_information method provides an informational message intended to be read by users and not by tools.; trace_information(const std::string&, const Objects_t) calls the trace_event(const trace_eventType&, Int32_t, const xtd::ustring&, ...objects_t) method, setting event_type to trace_event_type.Information and passing the message content as an object array with formatting information. The trace_event(const trace_event_type, Int32_t, xtd::ustring&, ...objects_t) method in turn calls the trace_event(const trace_event_cache&, const xtd::ustring&, trace_event_type, Int32_t, const xtd::ustring&, ...objects_t) method of each trace listener.

◆ trace_information() [2/2]

void xtd::diagnostics::trace_source::trace_information ( const xtd::ustring & message )

Writes an informational message to the trace listeners in the listeners collection using the specified message.

Parameters

message The informative message to write.

Remarks: The trace_information method provides an informational message intended to be read by users and not by tools.; trace_information(const std::string&, calls the trace_event(const trace_eventType&, Int32_t, const xtd::ustring&, ...objects_t) method, setting event_type to trace_event_type.Information and passing the message content as an object array with formatting information. The trace_event(const trace_event_type, Int32_t, xtd::ustring&) method in turn calls the trace_event(const trace_event_cache&, const xtd::ustring&, trace_event_type, Int32_t, const xtd::ustring&) method of each trace listener.

◆ trace_transfer()

template<typename guid_t >

void xtd::diagnostics::trace_source::trace_transfer	(	int32_t	id,
		const xtd::ustring &	message,
		const guid_t &	related_activity_id
	)

inline

Writes a trace transfer message to the trace listeners in the listeners collection using the specified numeric identifier, message, and related activity identifier.

Parameters

id	A numeric identifier for the event.
message	The trace message to write.
related_activity_id	A structure that identifies the related activity.

Remarks: The trace_transfer method calls the trace_transfer method of each trace listener in the listeners property to write the trace information. The default trace_transfer method in the base trace_listener class calls the trace_listener::trace_event(const trace_event_cache&, const xtd::ustring&, trace_event_type, Int32_t, const xtd::ustring&) method to process the call, setting event_type to trace_event_type::transfer and appending a string representation of the related_activity_id GUID to message.; trace_transfer is intended to be used with the logical operations of a correlation_manager. The related_activity_id parameter relates to the activity_id property of a correlation_manager object. If a logical operation begins in one activity and transfers to another, the second activity logs the transfer by calling the trace_transfer method. The trace_transfer call relates the new activity identity to the previous identity. The most likely consumer of this functionality is a trace viewer that can report logical operations that span multiple activities.
