In a C++ application, you have a stream of data being logged... 

  • Write to a temporary file first 
  • Use std::ofstream::flush after every write 
  • Use file locking mechanisms 
  • Implement journaling or write-ahead logging
Implementing journaling or write-ahead logging means changes are first logged to a separate, sequential log. In case of failures, this log can be used to bring the file back to a consistent state. This provides a safeguard against data corruption or loss during unforeseen events.
