QuantumGate::Console::SetOutput

Sets the output for the console.

Signature

static const bool SetOutput(const std::shared_ptr<Output>& output) noexcept;

Parameters

Name

Description

output

A reference to a std::shared_ptr of an object derived from QuantumGate::Console::Output that will accept the console messages being sent to it. If this parameter is nullptr the console output is disabled. Note that a copy of the std::shared_ptr is stored by the console increasing the reference count to the shared Output object. If you want the object to be destroyed also make sure to set the console output back to nullptr or to a different Output object.

Return values

Returns true if the operation succeeded, otherwise false.

Examples

// Sets output to an instance of QuantumGate::Console::WindowOutput
QuantumGate::Console::SetOutput(
    std::make_shared<QuantumGate::Console::WindowOutput>());

// Sets output to an instance of QuantumGate::Console::TerminalOutput
QuantumGate::Console::SetOutput(
    std::make_shared<QuantumGate::Console::TerminalOutput>());
