Hi, I'm using log4cxx v0.9.7 (for historical reasons) My question is whether it is possible (in this or any other version) to work with memory mapped files. Objective is to have the application log both to a rolling i/o-buffered file on disk for the long-term log and an unbuffered memory mapped

So is there any possibility to have an log4cxx appender logging to a memory mapped file? (primary target is Linux) Does anybody have had experience with implementing that? How would you do it? No experience, no. A rough hack would be to call WriterAppender::setWriter on a ConsoleAppender

Curiosity, turning off the buffering on FileAppender isn't close enough to what you want? Well, maybe. But won't turning off buffering severely decrease performance because of higher i/o activity? Yeah. I was thinking that one would toss the file onto something RAMish. But you're right
