Hi. I am wondering if a log file can be created in a header which is associated with a try-catch block. Below is my stripped down code for the log_header.h and log_test.cpp
Here is log_header.h
#include<fstream>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class thrower{
fstream myfile2;
public:
void errormessage();
};
void thrower::errormessage(){
cout<<"Thrower works\n";
///////These are log commnands////////
myfile2.open("C:\\error2.txt",ios::out);
myfile2<<"Message 2\n"<<endl;
myfile2.close();
////////////////////////////////////////
};
Here is log_test.cpp
#include"log_header.h"
#include<fstream>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
thrower t;
int main(){
fstream myfile;
try{
int y=4;
if (y<5){
throw t;
}
}
catch(thrower tt){
tt.errormessage();
myfile.open("C:\\error.txt",ios::out);
myfile<<"Message \n"<<endl;
myfile.close();
}
return 0;
}
If I comment out all of the log_header.h lines that contain "myfile2", then the "myfile" object in the log_test.cpp gets updated and the error message from the errormessage method is printed. It would be more elegant if the log file creation was contained in the header. Please assist.
