It may be desirable, for // example, to log values from generic functions; however, operator<< may not be // overloaded for all types. // // The helpers in this library use, in order of precedence: // // 1. std::string and std::string_view are quoted and escaped. (The specific // format is not guaranteed to be stable.) // 2. A defined AbslStringify() method. // 3. absl::log_internal::LogContainer, if the object is a STL container. // 4. For std::tuple, std::pair, and std::optional, recursively calls // GenericPrint for each element. // 5. Floating point values are printed with enough precision for round-trip. // 6. char values are quoted, with non-printable values escaped, and the // char's numeric value is included. // 7. A defined operator<< overload (which should be found by ADL). // 8. A defined DebugString() const method. // 9. A fallback value with basic information otherwise. // // Note that the fallback value means that if no formatting conversion is // defined, you will not see a compile-time error. This also means that // GenericPrint() can safely be used in generic template contexts, and can // format any types needed (even though the output will vary). // // Example usage: // // // All values after GenericPrint() are formatted: // LOG(INFO) << GenericPrint() // << int_var // <- printed normally // << float_var // <- sufficient precision for round-trip // << " unchanged literal text "; // // // Just one value is formatted: // LOG(INFO) << GenericPrint(string("this is quoted and escaped\t\n")) // << GenericPrint("but not this, "); // << string("and not this."); // // To make a type loggable with GenericPrint, prefer defining operator<< as a // friend function. For example: // // class TypeToLog { // public: // string ToString() const; // Many types already implement this. // // Define out-of-line if it is complex. // friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const TypeToLog& v) { // return os << v.ToString(); // OK to define in-line instead, if simple. // } // }; // // (Defining operator<< as an inline friend free function allows it to be found // by Argument-Dependent Lookup, or ADL, which is the mechanism typically used // for operator overload resolution. An inline friend function is the tightest // scope possible for overloading the left-hand side of an operator.) #include #include namespace absl { ABSL_NAMESPACE_BEGIN namespace strings_internal { // Helper for logging values in generic code. // // Example usage: // // template // void GenericFunction() { // T v1, v2; // VLOG(1) << GenericPrint() << v1 << v2; // GenericPrint everything // VLOG(1) << GenericPrint(v1) << v2; // GenericPrint just v1 // } // inline constexpr internal_generic_printer::GenericPrintAdapterFactory GenericPrint{}; // Generic printer type: this class can be used, for example, as a template // argument to allow users to provide alternative printing strategies. // // For example, to allow callers to provide a custom strategy: // // template > // void GenericFunction() { // T value; // VLOG(1) << PrinterT{value}; // } // template using GenericPrinter = internal_generic_printer::GenericPrinter; } // namespace strings_internal ABSL_NAMESPACE_END } // namespace absl #endif // ABSL_STRINGS_INTERNAL_GENERIC_PRINTER_H_
