Chucho

Chucho is a cool open-source software project designed for all you C++ fans out there. It’s cross-platform, which means it works on different operating systems, making it super versatile! The main goal of Chucho is to give users a simple and speedy logging framework that’s built for C++11 (formerly called C++0x). This handy tool is based on the popular Logback library created by Sebastien Pennec in Java.

Key Features of Chucho

So what can you do with Chucho? Well, here are some key features:

• Console and file logging support


• An easy-to-use command-line interface


• Support for diagnostic contexts


• The use of markers


• Some basic filters to help you organize your logs

If you're curious about all the details, the complete API documentation can be found on the project’s homepage. You can check it out here.

Configuration Made Simple

When it comes to setting up Chucho, there are two ways to do it: automatically or manually. For new users, the automatic option is definitely the way to go! Chucho will look for a configuration file and try to figure things out when you first ask for a logger. If you'd rather not deal with that, you can set everything up yourself using the Chucho API.

Running Chucho on Different Platforms

This software runs as a command-line application. You’ll need to use it from a console environment or through an X11 terminal emulator if you’re on a graphical desktop. It works great on all GNU/Linux distributions, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows!

A Peek Under the Hood of Chucho

If we take a quick look at how it's built, we see that everything in Chucho is written in C++. Currently, you can download it from its website as a universal source archive. Just remember—you’ll need to configure and compile it before installation! To do this smoothly, you'll need CMake (check out the attached screenshot for more info!). Both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms are supported right now.
