DETAILS
This logger processes log events as they are generated and routes them through the System_printf() function. The final disposition of the log event is dependent on which system provider has been assigned to the System.SupportProxy configuration parameter.
Note that the log events are processed within the runtime context of the Log_write() or Log_print() function that generated the event. It is important to account for the processing overhead and stack usage imposed on the runtime context. The cost of this processing is defined by the implementation of the system provider.
EXAMPLES
Configuration example: The following XDC configuration statements create a logger instance, assign it as the default logger for all modules, and enable USER1 logging in all modules of the package my.pkg. See the Diags.setMaskMeta() function for details on specifying the module names.
  var Defaults = xdc.useModule('xdc.runtime.Defaults');
  var Diags = xdc.useModule('xdc.runtime.Diags');
  var LoggerSys = xdc.useModule('xdc.runtime.LoggerSys');

  var LoggerSysParams = new LoggerSys.Params();
  Defaults.common$.logger = LoggerSys.create(LoggerSysParams);
  Diags.setMaskMeta("my.pkg.%", Diags.USER1, Diags.RUNTIME_ON);

Bool LoggerSys_enable(LoggerSys_Handle handle);
 
ARGUMENTS
handle — handle of a previously-created LoggerSys instance object
RETURNS
The function returns the state of the log (TRUE if enabled, FALSE if disabled) before the call. This return value allows clients to restore the previous state. Note: not thread safe.

LoggerSys_write4()  // instance

Process a log event with up to 4 arguments

C synopsis target-domain
Void LoggerSys_write4(LoggerSys_Handle handle, Log_Event evt, Types_ModuleId mid, IArg a1, IArg a2, IArg a3, IArg a4);
 
ARGUMENTS
handle — handle of a previously-created LoggerSys instance object
evt — event to be logged
mid — module ID of the module which logged the event
a1 — arbitrary argument passed by caller
DETAILS
The evt argument is of type Log.Event, which encodes the Log.EventId, the Diags.Mask, and the Diags.EventLevel of the event. The event ID can be obtained via Types.getEventId(evt), the Diags mask can be obtained via Diags.getMask(evt), and the event level can be obtained via Diags.getLevel(evt).
The modId argument is the module ID of the module that logged the event.
The event information can be used by the logger to handle different events specially. For example, the event ID can be used to compare against other known Log.Events.
      if (Log_getEventId(MY_EVENT) == Log_getEventId(evt)) {
          :
      }
The Diags mask and event level can be used for filtering of events based on event level (see IFilterLogger), or even routing events to separate loggers based on diags category (see, for example, LoggerBuf.statusLogger).
The Diags mask and event level are useful for handling the event, but are generally not recorded by the logger because they are not needed in decoding and displaying the event. A more suitable value to record is a Types.Event, which encodes the event ID and module ID. For example, the Log.EventRec type stores a Types.Event in its record definition. A Types.Event can be created using the Types.makeEvent API given the event ID and module ID.
The event ID value of 0 is used to indicate an event triggered by a call to one of the Log_print[0-6] methods. These methods take a format string rather than a Log_Event argument and, as a result, the event ID encoded in evt is 0 and the parameter a1 is the format string.
Non-zero event IDs can also be used to access the msg string associated with the Log.EventDesc that originally defined the Log event.
      Log_EventId id = Log_getEventId(evt));
      if (id != 0) {
          String msg = Text_ropeText(id);
          System_aprintf(msg, a1, a2, a3, a4);
      }
This works because an event's ID is simply an offset into a table of characters (maintained by the Text module) containing the event's msg string.
The arguments a1, a2, etc. are parameters that are to be interpreted according to the message format string associated with evt.

proxy LoggerSys.TimestampProxy

User supplied time-stamp proxy

Configuration settings
LoggerSys.TimestampProxy = ITimestampClient.Module null
// some delegate module inheriting the ITimestampClient interface
    LoggerSys.TimestampProxy.delegate$ = ITimestampClient.Module null
    // explicit access to the currently bound delegate module
 
DETAILS
This proxy allows LoggerSys to use a timestamp server different from the server used by xdc.runtime.Timestamp. However, if not supplied by a user, this proxy defaults to whichever timestamp server is used by Timestamp.
 
metaonly config LoggerSys.common$  // module-wide

Common module configuration parameters

Configuration settings
LoggerSys.common$ = Types.Common$ undefined;
 
DETAILS
All modules have this configuration parameter. Its name contains the '$' character to ensure it does not conflict with configuration parameters declared by the module. This allows new configuration parameters to be added in the future without any chance of breaking existing modules.
 
metaonly LoggerSys.getMetaArgs()  // module-wide

Returns any meta data needed to support RTA

Configuration settings
LoggerSys.getMetaArgs(Any inst, Any instNum) returns Any
 
DETAILS
This meta data should be returned in the form of a structure which can be converted into XML. This data is added to the RTA XML file during the application's configuration, and can be accessed later through the xdc.rta.MetaData module.
The MetaData is returned per instance of the ILogger module. The instance object is passed to the function as the first argument.
The second argument is the index of the instance in the list of the ILogger's static instances.
