Detailed Description

QMessageLogger is used to generate messages for the Qt logging framework. Usually one uses it through qDebug(), qInfo(), qWarning(), qCritical, or qFatal() functions, which are actually macros: For example qDebug() expands to QMessageLogger(__FILE__, __LINE__, Q_FUNC_INFO).debug() for debug builds, and QMessageLogger(0, 0, 0).debug() for release builds.

One example of direct use is to forward errors that stem from a scripting language, e.g. QML:

     void statusChanged(QDeclarativeComponent::Status status) {
         if (status == QDeclarativeComponent::Error) {
             foreach (const QDeclarativeError &error, component->errors()) {
                 const QByteArray file = error.url().toEncoded();
                 QMessageLogger(file.constData(), error.line(), 0).debug() << error.description();
             }
         }
     }

Member Type Documentation

typedef QMessageLogger::CategoryFunction

This is a typedef for a pointer to a function with the following signature:

     const QLoggingCategory &category();

A function which this signature is generated by Q_DECLARE_LOGGING_CATEGORY, Q_LOGGING_CATEGORY.

This typedef was introduced in Qt 5.3.
