-/**
-    @class wxLog

 
 

-    wxLog class defines the interface for the @e log targets used by wxWidgets
-    logging functions as explained in the @ref overview_log.
-    The only situations when you need to directly use this class is when you want
-    to derive your own log target because the existing ones don't satisfy your
-    needs. Another case is if you wish to customize the behaviour of the standard
-    logging classes (all of which respect the wxLog settings): for example, set
-    which trace messages are logged and which are not or change (or even remove
-    completely) the timestamp on the messages.
-
-    Otherwise, it is completely hidden behind the @e wxLogXXX() functions and
-    you may not even know about its existence.
-
-
-    @section log_derivingyours Deriving your own log target
-
-    There are two functions which must be implemented by any derived class to
-    actually process the log messages: DoLog() and DoLogString().
-    The second function receives a string which just has to be output in some way
-    and the easiest way to write a new log target is to override just this function
-    in the derived class.
-
-    If more control over the output format is needed, then the first function must
-    be overridden which allows to construct custom messages depending on the log level
-    or even do completely different things depending on the message severity
-    (for example, throw away all messages except warnings and errors, show warnings
-    on the screen and forward the error messages to the user's (or programmer's) cell
-    phone - maybe depending on whether the timestamp tells us if it is day or
-    night in the current time zone).
-
-    There also functions to support message buffering. Why are they needed?
-    Some of wxLog implementations, most notably the standard wxLogGui class,
-    buffer the messages (for example, to avoid showing the user a zillion of modal
-    message boxes one after another -- which would be really annoying).
-
-    Flush() shows them all and clears the buffer contents.
-    This function doesn't do anything if the buffer is already empty.
-
-    See also:
-    @li Flush()
-    @li FlushActive()
-
-
-    @section log_tracemasks Using trace masks
-
-    The functions below allow some limited customization of wxLog behaviour
-    without writing a new log target class (which, aside from being a matter of
-    several minutes, allows you to do anything you want).
-    The verbose messages are the trace messages which are not disabled in the
-    release mode and are generated by wxLogVerbose().
-    They are not normally shown to the user because they present little interest,
-    but may be activated, for example, in order to help the user find some program
-    problem.
-
-    As for the (real) trace messages, their handling depends on the settings of
-    the (application global) @e trace mask which can either be specified using
-    SetTraceMask(), GetTraceMask() and wxLogTrace() which takes an integer mask
-    or using AddTraceMask() for string trace masks.
-
-    The difference between bit-wise and string trace masks is that a message using
-    integer trace mask will only be logged if all bits of the mask are set in the
-    current mask while a message using string mask will be logged simply if the
-    mask had been added before to the list of allowed ones.
-    For example,
+/**
+    @class wxLogFormatter

 
 

-    @code
-    wxLogTrace( wxTraceRefCount|wxTraceOleCalls, "Active object ref count: %d", nRef );
-    @endcode
+    wxLogFormatter class is used to format the log messages. It implements the
+    default formatting and can be derived from to create custom formatters.

 
 

-    will do something only if the current trace mask contains both @c wxTraceRefCount
-    and @c wxTraceOle, but:
+    The default implementation formats the message into a string containing
+    the time stamp, level-dependent prefix and the message itself.

 
 

+    To change it, you can derive from it and override its Format() method. For
+    example, to include the thread id in the log messages you can use

     @code
     @code

-    wxLogTrace( wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called" );
+        class LogFormatterWithThread : public wxLogFormatter
+        {
+            virtual wxString Format(wxLogLevel level,
+                                    const wxString& msg,
+                                    const wxLogRecordInfo& info) const
+            {
+                return wxString::Format("[%d] %s(%d) : %s",
+                    info.threadId, info.filename, info.line, msg);
+            }
+        };

     @endcode
     @endcode

-
-    will log the message if it was preceded by:
+    And then associate it with wxLog instance using its SetFormatter(). Then,
+    if you call:

 
     @code
 
     @code

-    wxLog::AddTraceMask( wxTRACE_OleCalls);
+        wxLogMessage(_("*** Application started ***"));

     @endcode
 
     @endcode
 

-    Using string masks is simpler and allows you to easily add custom ones, so this
-    is the preferred way of working with trace messages. The integer trace mask is
-    kept for compatibility and for additional (but very rarely needed) flexibility
-    only.
-
-    The standard trace masks are given in wxLogTrace() documentation.
-
-    Finally, the @e wxLog::DoLog() function automatically prepends a time stamp
-    to all the messages. The format of the time stamp may be changed: it can be
-    any string with % specifications fully described in the documentation of the
-    standard @e strftime() function. For example, the default format is
-    "[%d/%b/%y %H:%M:%S] " which gives something like "[17/Sep/98 22:10:16] "
-    (without quotes) for the current date. Setting an empty string as the time
-    format disables timestamping of the messages completely.

-    window on the corresponding error message. If you wish to enable it, please
-    use SetTimestamp() explicitly.
-
-
-    @section log_target Manipulating the log target
-
-    The functions in this section work with and manipulate the active log
-    target. The OnLog() is called by the @e wxLogXXX() functions
-    and invokes the DoLog() of the active log target if any.
-
-    Get/Set methods are used to install/query the current active target and,
-    finally, DontCreateOnDemand() disables the automatic creation of a standard
-    log target if none actually exists. It is only useful when the application
-    is terminating and shouldn't be used in other situations because it may
-    easily lead to a loss of messages.
