the code is a COM server running on Windows XP, but my problem is to
find the easiest way to log server activy
(logging without delay to access, so the solution with saving to file
is omitted)
I use Microsoft Visual Studio and I cannot find out the built-in
output tab for program output (it means not for this program)
major changes in server code are also not allowable.
moreover, server create threads.
i think that problem is general in similar applications.
The general solution is to log to a file.
Is it? All of the servers I've worked on log to a variety of
places, depending on how serious the log is: a file, syslog,
email...
There isn't any guarantee that an application running in the
background (where supported) even has an output device
attached.
There is, however, a pretty good guarantee that a terminal won't
be attached.
I'm not sure what the OP's problem is with logging to a file.
Maybe he just doesn't know you have to flush after each log
message.
