Have you considered using a log library.

There are several available, I discovered Pantheios recently and it really seems to be quite incredible.

It's more a front-end logger, you can customize which system is used. It can interact with ACE or log4cxx for example and it seems really easy to use and configure. The main advantage is that it use typesafe operators, which is always great.

If you just want a barebone logging library:

• ACE
• log4c*
• Boost.Log

Pick any :)

I should note that it's possible to implement lock-free queues in C++ and that they are great for logging.
