Where is LOG(<severity>) macro.

[David Valouch]

Throughout the examples the LOG(<severity>) macro is being used, but I'm unable to find where it is defined. Do I need another library beyond Abseil?

I assume you are talking about stuff like https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/blob/1ae9b71c474628d60eb251a3f62967fe64151bb2/absl/status/status.h#L372-L377? It is just an example of how you might handle an error by logging it. You could certainly just replace LOG with std::cerr.

We are planning on releasing our logging library, but it is not ready yet. Our logging library will be an up-to-date version of what was previously released as https://github.com/google/glog.

Hi,

Is there any estimate on when the logging library might be available? I couldn't find up-to-date issues about this, and in the meantime it's a bit awkward to use both glog and Abseil flags.

Thanks!

We get this question a lot. It is still actively being worked on, nothing has changed. A lot of cleanup is going into this effort. Estimating a release date is difficult.

That's great to hear. Thank you!

After much anticipation, it looks like C++ Abseil logging is out!

@Googlers - will there be a guide for Abseil logging like the excellent ones for Status and Time? In particular, I'm currently using google/glog and am curious about the differences (environment variables, absl flags integration, etc).

We're still talking about what documentation to provide beyond the basic API docs, but there seems to be a consensus that a user's guide would be a good idea.  A migration guide from glog is an excellent suggestion.
