Logs play a crucial role in modern software systems, serving as a means for developers to record essential information for future software maintenance. As the performance of these log-based maintenance tasks heavily relies on the quality of logging statements, various works have been proposed to assist developers in writing appropriate logging statements. However, these works either only support developers in partial sub-tasks of this whole activity; or perform with a relatively high time cost and may introduce unwanted modifications. To address their limitations, we propose FastLog, which can support the complete logging statement generation and insertion activity, in a very speedy manner. Specifically, given a program method, FastLog first predicts the insertion position in the finest token level, and then generates a complete logging statement to insert. We further use text splitting for long input texts to improve the accuracy of predicting where to insert logging statements. A comprehensive empirical analysis shows that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art approach in both efficiency and output quality, which reveals its great potential and practicality in current real-time intelligent development environments.
