Why use a logger library and not just std::cout ?
I am currently looking at a well written code base. I notice the author uses https://github.com/abumq/easyloggingpp to log messages. Why might they have done that rather than just use std::cout or std::ofstream? The software doesn't really have performance constraints (most of the time it's just sleeping) nor is it networked. What do logging libraries offer and when would I decide to use one?
