I have written the following function to be a general "error logging" solution for my Windows API projects. Basically, given a Windows system error code (a la GetLastError()), it will log the error message into a file:
#include <Windows.h>
#include <strsafe.h>
// MAX_PATH for file name, 12 for max signed int in base 10 (-2147483648), 20 for datetime string, 5 for brackets/colon/spaces
#define MAX_DFL_LENGTH (MAX_PATH + 37)
// So that it can be used as a callback if desired
typedef VOID(CALLBACK *ERRORPROC)(DWORD, WCHAR *, INT, HANDLE, BOOL);
/**
* Logs an error message that occurred elsewhere in the program.
* PARAMETERS:
* dwError - The system error code to process.
* wszFileName - The name of the file in which the error occurred (pass __FILEW__)
* nLine - The line at which the error was detected (pass __LINE__)
* hOutFile - A handle to an already open file for writing the error message to.
* fRecoverable - If true, this error is recoverable; return to the calling code. If false, exit after logging the error.
*/
VOID CALLBACK ErrorProc(
DWORD dwError,
WCHAR *wszFileName,
INT nLine,
HANDLE hOutFile,
BOOL fRecoverable
)
FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS,
NULL,
dwError,
MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT),
(LPVOID)&lpMsgBuf,
0,
NULL
);
GetLocalTime(&st);
StringCchPrintfW(
wszDateFileLine,
MAX_DFL_LENGTH,
L"[%.4hu-%.2hu-%.2huT%.2hu:%.2hu:%.2hu %s:%d] ",
st.wYear,
st.wMonth,
st.wDay,
st.wHour,
st.wMinute,
st.wSecond,
wszFileName,
nLine
);
SetFilePointer(hOutFile, 0, NULL, FILE_END);
hr = StringCbLengthW(wszDateFileLine, (MAX_DFL_LENGTH) * sizeof(WCHAR), &uLen);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
WriteFile(hOutFile, wszDateFileLine, uLen, &dwWritten, NULL);
hr = StringCbLengthW(lpMsgBuf, STRSAFE_MAX_CCH * sizeof(WCHAR), &uLen);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
// Length - 2 WCHARs to not write out the rn at the end of the error message.
WriteFile(hOutFile, lpMsgBuf, uLen - (2 * sizeof(WCHAR)), &dwWritten, NULL);
WriteFile(hOutFile, wRecovMsg[!!fRecoverable], (36 + (!!fRecoverable * 3)) * sizeof(WCHAR), &dwWritten, NULL);
LocalFree((HLOCAL)lpMsgBuf);
if (FALSE == fRecoverable)
ExitProcess(dwError);
While this historically worked well enough for my personal projects, I am wondering if there are any modifications I should make to the presentation or operation of this function before suggesting its addition to a larger Windows project with an entire team of developers.
