Google's C++14 application-level logging library providing stream-based logging APIs and helper macros. The project is deprecated and will be archived on 2025-06-30, with ng-log and Abseil Logging as recommended successors.

Use cases

  • add structured logging to a C++ application
  • log with severity levels like INFO, WARNING, ERROR
  • replace printf debugging with stream-style logging macros
  • configure log output to files and stderr in C++
  • migrate legacy glog-based code to a maintained fork

When to choose

  • maintaining or reading legacy C++ code that already depends on glog
  • you need the exact historical glog API for compatibility

When to avoid

  • starting a new C++ project - use ng-log or Abseil Logging instead
  • you need bug fixes or ongoing support, since the project is archived
