Is there any drawback to using the default logger?

Hi,

Thanks for the great library! Just wondering, is there any drawback to using the default logger except that the logger stays alive until the program exits? RAII/controlling the scope seems the only advantage of creating your own logger. Thanks.

Cheers,
Bob

Hi,

Thanks for the nice feedback!

No drawback except maybe a slight performance penalty since spdlog needs to fetch the logger from the registry in each call:

spdlog/include/spdlog/spdlog-inl.h

Line 117 in 8826011

return details::registry::instance().get_default_raw();

Thanks a lot for the quick response! Makes sense!
