Differences between ITLogLib/Standard C++ and ITLogLib/Visual C++

Although we followed our ‘Unified API’ strategy for all ITLogLib variants there are a view differences between the Standard C++ and the Visual C++ variant of ITLogLib:

Differences:

	ITLogLib/Standard C++	ITLogLib/Visual C++
*ITLogLib::GetLogChannel( const char LogChannelName )**	returns a ITOutputLogChannel object (that can be checked with IsOpen())	returns a ITOutputLogChannel pointer (or NULL if not created)
ITLogMsg::ITLogMsg copy constructor	not available	available

Even in ITLogLib/Visual C++ it is not necessary to copy ITLogMsg objects, because these objects only are smartpointers to the underlying logmessages. As function parameters ITLogMsg should be passed by reference not by value.
