/**
 * @class ACE_Log_Msg_Callback
 *
 * @brief An interface class used to get logging callbacks.
 *
 * Users who are interested in getting the logging messages
 * directly, can subclass this interface and override the log()
 * method. They must then register their subclass with the
 * Log_Msg class and make sure that they turn on the
 * ACE_Log_Msg::MSG_CALLBACK flag.
 *
 * Your log() routine is called with an instance of
 * ACE_Log_Record.  From this class, you can get the log
 * message, the verbose log message, message type, message
 * priority, and so on.
 *
 * Remember that there is one Log_Msg object per thread.
 * Therefore, you may need to register your callback object with
 * many ACE_Log_Msg objects (and have the correct
 * synchronization in the log() method) or have a separate
 * callback object per Log_Msg object.  Moreover,
 * ACE_Log_Msg_Callbacks are not inherited when a new thread
 * is spawned because it might have been allocated off of the
 * stack of the original thread, in which case all hell would
 * break loose...  Therefore, you'll need to reset these in each
 * new thread.
