2. Primary Log Module: Used to select the relevant Log module, quickly viewing the Log content of a certain category.
3. Secondary Log Module: Sub-module Logs of the Primary Log Module, used to further distinguish each sub-functional module under the Primary Module.

C++ Program Output

1. Include header file #include "flexi/public/core_Log_ex.h" ;

2. Declare a struct DECLARE_Log_NAME(<Log Module Name>) in the header file of the used class, and implement the struct DEFINE_Log_NAME(<Log Module Name>) in the implementation file of the class, to display the code hints in the Editor when using the current class.

3. For Primary Log: FLEXI_LOG(<Log Module Name>, <Log Level Type>, "<Log output content>"), input the module name, log level type and output content respectively.

   // Demo.h
   #include "flexi/public/core_log_ex.h"
   DECLARE_LOG_NAME(Module)

   // Demo.cpp
   DEFINE_LOG_NAME(Module)
   
   void output_log()
   {
       FLEXI_LOG(Module, LOG_TYPE_DISPLAY, "Hello world");
   }

4. For Secondary Log: FLEXI_LOG(<Sub Log Module Name>, <Log Level Type>, "<Log output content>"), input the sub module name, log level type and output content respectively.

   // Demo.h
   #include "flexi/public/core_log_ex.h"
   DECLARE_LOG_SUB(Module, SubModule)

   // Demo.cpp
   DEFINE_LOG_SUB(Module, SubModule)
   
   void output_log()
   {
       FLEXI_LOG(SubModule, LOG_TYPE_DISPLAY, "Hello world");
   }
