glog
brew install glog
v0.7.1
BSD-3-Clause
C++ logging library with configurable severity levels, automatic log rotation, and stack trace capture.
Why you might care
glog is Google's battle-tested logging framework for C++ applications, offering structured log levels (INFO, WARNING, ERROR, FATAL), conditional logging, and performance tuning via environment variables—useful when you need production-grade logging in C++ binaries without rolling your own. It's widely used in Google's infrastructure and integrates naturally with gflags for command-line configuration.
