More of a request than an issue:

It'd be really nice if there was wide string support so that:

LOG(INFO) << L"A wide string" << std::endl;

printed out something like:

I0121 135418 main.cpp:30] A wide string

instead of

I0121 135418 main.cpp:30] 0x805edf0

Support for std::wstring would also be very appreciated.

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. (See above) 2. 3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? (See above)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? glog-0.12 on SuSE 10.3 x86

Please provide any additional information below.

Will look into this issue after releasing 0.2.

I vote for this too! All new projects in VS9 are anyways have unicode on with the character type (TCHAR/wchar_t)

Maybe you can just add a header file whose content is

ifndef WCHAR_LOGGING_H_

define WCHAR_LOGGING_H_

include

include

include

std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const wchar_t* str) { size_t len = wcsrtombs(NULL, &str, 0, NULL); char* buf = (char*)malloc(len + 1); buf[len] = 0; wcsrtombs(buf, &str, len, NULL); out << buf; free(buf); return out; }

std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const std::wstring& str) { return operator<<(out, str.c_str()); }

endif // WCHAR_LOGGING_H_

or something for this? If you think it's useful, I'll add this header file into glog's package.

i've tried to use this header in my qt project and get linker error: CMakeFiles/test.dir/myerror.cpp.o: In function operator<<(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, wchar_t const*)': /opt/google/include/glog/logging.h:1093: multiple definition of operator<<(std::basic_ostream >&, wchar_t const*)' CMakeFiles/test.dir/xmlcheckthread.cpp.o:/usr/include/QtCore/qglobal.h:1499: first defined here CMakeFiles/test.dir/myerror.cpp.o: In function operator<<(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, std::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>, std::allocator<wchar_t> > const&)': /home/aeon/projects/shalficky/qt_client/wchar_log.h:19: multiple definition of operator<<(std::basic_ostream >&, std::basic_string, std::allocator > const&)' CMakeFiles/test.dir/xmlcheckthread.cpp.o:/home/aeon/projects/shalficky/qt_client/wchar_log.h:19: first defined here including header in logging.h gives me same result. is there any way to resolve this problem?

Ah, I think I forgot to add "inline" for the two operators.

ifndef WCHAR_LOGGING_H_

define WCHAR_LOGGING_H_

include

include

include

inline std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const wchar_t* str) { size_t len = wcsrtombs(NULL, &str, 0, NULL); char* buf = (char*)malloc(len + 1); buf[len] = 0; wcsrtombs(buf, &str, len, NULL); out << buf; free(buf); return out; }

inline std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& out, const std::wstring& str) { return operator<<(out, str.c_str()); }

endif // WCHAR_LOGGING_H_

Please let me know if this doesn't solve your issue.

Issue 29 has been merged into this issue.

Ok,I try this bug-fix in my vs2008 sp1 project, and it works. well done!

why not merge this in the project?

I got a simmilar problem, with operator == The code suggested doesn't fix my problem... When will google test support wchar/wstring? I'm using VS2012 ultimate.
