Base class for 'loggers' that write text messages to log files.
This class is used to direct log messages to application- or environment-specific output. The default is to simply print the messages to the standard output stream or standard error stream, but classes may be derived from Logger that implement other output options. This is important when Cantera is used in applications that do not display the standard output, such as MATLAB. The Cantera MATLAB interface derives a class from Logger that implements these methods with MATLAB-specific procedures, insuring that the messages will be passed through to the user. It would also be possible to derive a class that displayed the messages in a pop-up window, or redirected them to a file, etc.
To install a logger, call function setLogger (global.h / misc.cpp).
See the files Cantera/python/src/pylogger.h and Cantera/matlab/cantera/private/mllogger.h for examples of deriving logger classes.

| virtual void error | ( | const std::string & | msg | ) | [inline, virtual] |
Write an error message and quit.
The default behavior is to write to the standard eror stream, and then call exit(). Note that no end-of-line character is appended to the message, and so if one is desired it must be included in the string. Note that this default behavior will terminate the application Cantera is invoked from (MATLAB, Excel, etc.) If this is not desired, then derive a class and reimplement this method.

Write a log message.
The default behavior is to write to the standard output. Note that no end-of-line character is appended to the message, and so if one is desired it must be included in the string.

| virtual void writeendl | ( | ) | [inline, virtual] |
Write an end of line character and flush output.
Some systems treat endl and
differently. The endl statement causes a flushing of stdout to the screen.
