Description

Snippet to reproduce:

#include <ndn-cxx/util/logger.hpp>

NDN_LOG_INIT(MyLogModule);

int
main()
{
  NDN_LOG_FATAL("my-fatal");
}

Expected: code compiles with g++ -o x -std=c++14 x.cpp $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libndn-cxx)
Actual:

g++ -o x -std=c++11 x.cpp $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libndn-cxx) -DBOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK works fine.
-DBOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK argument should be added into pkg-config output.

We did have -DBOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK in the .pc file in the hackathon project, but during the code review to integrate that code in the official ndn-cxx, Alex was against adding the define and it was removed. He said he preferred to add it to ndn-cxx-config.hpp, but didn't explain why. I believe the .pc file is the correct place for this.

add it to ndn-cxx-config.hpp

Adding -DBOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK to ndn-cxx-config.hpp is as good as adding it to .pc. Either way can fix this bug.

No, it's not the same thing. If the define is in ndn-cxx-config.hpp, third-party code needs to ensure that ndn-cxx-config.hpp is (indirectly) included before any Boost.Log headers. The .pc file doesn't have this shortcoming.

Third party code is not supposed to both directly use Boost.Log and use ndn-cxx logging. See #3782.

I still don't agree with putting it in .pc file. The reason for the error is because code explicitly requires ndn-cxx log routines to be used. Which implies that all necessary elements should have been included (ndn-cxx-common.hpp) as part of that. Putting define in .pc precludes app from using Boost.Log in whatever other way the app wants to use Boost.Log.

What does that mean? Why does the define preclude that?

-DBOOST_LOG_DYN_LINK simply means "use dynamic linking", it doesn't change how the application uses the Boost.Log library.

... and that is a violation of rule 3.4 which requires "low level" Boost includes to appear before any ndn-cxx includes. Thus, pkg-config is the only way.
