Dominik Psenner commented on LOG4NET-290: ----------------------------------------- {quote} I expect that usage of this method will look like this: ??logger.DebugExt(() => string.Format("Total value is {0}", CalculateTotalValue()); After that it's much harder to extract actual arguments of template. I understand that it is just my opinion and my case, but it was so good that log4net keeps these things (template and args) separated and I was impressed about it. {quote} As I see it, this signature is there for another purpose, namely to create objects that can be passed into custom object renderers such as: {quote} logger.DebugExt(() => new MyCustomLogObjectBasedOn(otherObjectFoo, otherObjectBar)) {quote} without requiring to write: {quote} if(logger.IsDebugEnabled) { logger.Debug(new MyCustomLogObjectBasedOn(otherObjectFoo, otherObjectBar)) } {quote} but still getting the performance benefits of lazy object instantiation. whereas this: {quote}logger.DebugExt(() => string.Format("Total value is {0}", CalculateTotalValue());{quote} will be written as: {quote}logger.DebugFormat("Total value is {0}", CalculateTotalValue()){quote} or: {quote}logger.DebugFormatExt("Total value is {0}", CalculateTotalValue()){quote} > Add Lambda-based ILog-Extensions (embedded log.IsEnabled) > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4NET-290 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-290 > Project: Log4net > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Affects Versions: 1.2.10 > Reporter: Lars Corneliussen > Assignee: Dominik Psenner > Fix For: 1.2.12 > > Attachments: LOG4NET-290-doc.patch, LOG4NET-290.patch > > > This statement: > if (log.IsDebugEnabled) log.DebugFormat("x: {0}", 123) > Could be nicely shortened to: > log.Debug( m=>m("value= {0}", obj.Value) ); > I'm already apache committer (NPanday Incubator Project) and would be happy > to help with this interface. The simplest thing would be to offer it as > static Extension-Methods to ILog. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
