CMakeLogger

CMakeLogger is a CMake standalone script which eases the usage of printing logs and measuring time.

Create Profile

Contents

Features

CMakeLogger defines a set of functions that can be used in your scripts, such as:

  • log_fatal
  • log_error
  • log_warn
  • log_info
  • log_debug
  • log_success

Each of the functions above receives a string as an argument for the log message.

CMakeLogger also allows convenient use of measuring time:

  • log_reset_timer - use before starting measuring time
  • log_print_time_taken - use after operation is finished
  • log_print_initial_time_taken - use to know how long since cmake started

This is useful if certain operations in your scripts take a while and you want to print how long in seconds it took.

Apart from the functions mentioned above, CMakeLogger allows different customization by giving the option to override some of configurations that can be found at the beginning of CMakeLogger.cmake file.

See CMakeLists.txt in the root directory for example usage.

Note that colorized output is not supported by all terminals, therefore CMakeLogger tries to determine in which environment the current execution is and allows it to print if supported. If you suspect your terminal supports printing in colors and CMakeLogger determination is wrong, opening an issue or sending a PR would be greatly appreciated.

Getting Started

Download links can be found in GitHub's releases page.

Download the cmake/CMakeLogger.cmake file into your project and add this in the root CMakeLists.txt of your project:

include("cmake/CMakeLogger.cmake")

This will define a set of functions for you to use (listed above).

Another possible way if you don't want to copy it into your project, is by adding this into your root CMakeLists.txt:

if(NOT EXISTS "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeLogger.cmake")
  file(DOWNLOAD
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/giladreich/CMakeLogger/v1.0.1/cmake/CMakeLogger.cmake"
    "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeLogger.cmake")
endif()
include("${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/CMakeLogger.cmake")
