Alternatives are glog from Google is full-featured, like spdlog, while Plog offers a lightweight alternative. Both are worthy upgrades on using C++ built-in std::clog.

From the usability and features I like plog a lot. Their code is on Github, maybe check how they've done it? You can also look at other libraries to get a feeling for different approaches.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing logog and plog you can also consider the following projects:

easyloggingpp - C++ logging library. It is extremely powerful, extendable, light-weight, fast performing, thread and type safe and consists of many built-in features. It provides ability to write logs in your own customized format. It also provide support for logging your classes, third-party libraries, STL and third-party containers etc.

spdlog - Fast C++ logging library.

glog - C++ implementation of the Google logging module

Blackhole - Yet another logging library.

Description - Mini async log C port. Now with C++ wrappers.

G3log - G3log is an asynchronous, "crash safe", logger that is easy to use with default logging sinks or you can add your own. G3log is made with plain C++14 (C++11 support up to release 1.3.2) with no external libraries (except gtest used for unit tests). G3log is made to be cross-platform, currently running on OSX, Windows and several Linux distros. See Readme below for details of usage.

mini-async-log - Non bloated asynchronous logger

Boost.Log - Boost Logging library

quill - Asynchronous Low Latency C++ Logging Library

loguru - A lightweight C++ logging library
