|  | 2 | ,
|  | 0 |  |
| ) |  |  |

InterfaceID.

virtual void IMessageSvc::reportMessage | ( | const Message & | msg,
|  | int | outputLevel |
| ) |  |  | `[pure virtual]`

Report a message by sending a Message object to the message service.

Parameters:

  | message | Reference to a message object
  | outputLevel | Output level of the message source for this message

Implemented in MessageSvc.

virtual void IMessageSvc::reportMessage | ( | const Message & | message | ) | `[pure virtual]`

Report a message by sending a Message object to the message service.

Parameters:

  | message | Reference to a message object

Implemented in MessageSvc.

virtual void IMessageSvc::reportMessage | ( | const StatusCode & | code,
|  | const std::string & | source = `""` |
| ) |  |  | `[pure virtual]`

Report an error to the message service.

The service will use the error code number for formating a human readable message

Parameters:

  | code | Error code number
  | source | Message source. Typically the alg/svc name

Implemented in MessageSvc.

virtual void IMessageSvc::reportMessage | ( | const std::string & | source,
|  | int | type,
|  | const std::string & | message |
| ) |  |  | `[pure virtual]`

Report a message by specifying the source, severity level and text.

Parameters:

  | source | Message source. Typically the alg/svc name
  | type | Severity level
  | message | Text message

Implemented in MessageSvc.

virtual void IMessageSvc::reportMessage | ( | const char * | source,
|  | int | type,
|  | const char * | message = `""` |
| ) |  |  | `[pure virtual]`

Report a message by specifying the source, severity level and text.

The text is passed as C like character string to avoid extra copying.

Parameters:

  | source | Message source. Typically the alg/svc name
  | type | Severity level
  | message | Text message

Implemented in MessageSvc.

virtual void IMessageSvc::insertMessage | ( | const StatusCode & | code,
