STL streams maintain an internal state and would not be safe to use in an appender unless you used external synchronization and precomposed the message so that it was done as one operation.
For example, if you did something like: os << "Hello" << "World"; if os was visible from another thread, you could have another thread inject something between "Hello" and "World". We do however offer a STL stream-like interface for logging in log4cxx/stream.h. The current implementation does attempt to mimic as far as possible the semantics of STL streams which unfortunately can add a substantial performance penalty for features (like inserting format specifiers) that you may not use. If you really want to dive into it, search the archives for logstream. For an example of logstream usage, see src/examples/cpp/stream.cpp. On Aug 16, 2010, at 2:01 AM, andrejvanderzee wrote: > > Hi, > > I need an appended that writes to a stringstream.
