I discovered that my previous patch seems to only be necessary if you pass --with-logchar=wchar_t to configure, and could cause problems otherwise. Knowing that, I improved the patch. For more, see: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-135

Rainer Schuetze and I both came up with the suggestion of calling .c_str() in an operator<< function, but neither of us felt satisfied with this answer. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4cxx-user&m=112229621903500&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=log4cxx-user&m=113380074400398&w=2 When I looked more closely at the operator<< functions for char, though, I discovered the same pattern can be used for std::string. So, I added those functions and am attaching the patch (diff'd against revision 397231 of SVN). (I believe that the compiler complaint when trying to output std::string directly is because logstream is based off logchar, instead of char or wchar. The DECODE and ENCODE macros/functions do this conversion, I think.) I've created an issue for this: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-135 I've not submitted a patch before. So, please let me know if I need to do something differently. I'd also like to vote for renaming stream.h to logstream.h. On another topic, http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-82 looks like maybe it should be closed? -David
