[log] logfile not created where expected
hi, I encountered a bug, most probably, in Boost.Log It is reproduceable in the tutorial_logging.cpp : https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_74_0/libs/log/example/doc/tutorial_logging.... The short code should create a file named "sample.log". But it does not, instead it creates a file called "00000.log", with the expected lines logged in that file. If I compile and run exactly the same tutorial in Boost 1.70, the file sample.log is indeed created with the same content. The problem is already there in Boost 1.73 What is the problem? Is there a workaround for it? Thanks, regards, Barend

I replied in the issue you created: https://github.com/boostorg/log/issues/129

What a coincidence that - after a "longish" period of this bug manifesting, somehow everybody runs into the same bug now: - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63718805/parameter-passing-bug-in-boost-... - https://github.com/boostorg/parameter/issues/97 (last comment) I wonder whether it was a combination of factors exposing this rather than it lurking in plain site for a long while. Perhaps a note should be added to known issues for Boost Log library users.
