How about std::ostream ;) ?

Seriously, depending on your application, you can have so many 
possibilities to implement logging using std::ostream streams.
For instance, you can implement thread-safety in less than 80 lines of code.

Also, disabling writing to a stream is fairly easy, by setting the 
failbit of a stream object:
out.setstate( std::ios::failbit); // nothing gets written to this log 
any more

Best,
