Need help with migrating to 0.12.0

This sample program can be compiled with 0.11.0 but not 0.12.0. The error
is "Cannot convert ‘ROSConsoleStdioAppender*’ to ‘log4cxx::App
enderPtr’ {aka ‘std::shared_ptr<log4cxx::Appender>’}". What change do I
need to make it works with 0,12.0? Thank you.

#include <log4cxx/log4cxx.h>
#include <log4cxx/basicconfigurator.h>
#include <log4cxx/helpers/exception.h>
#include <log4cxx/logger.h>
#include <log4cxx/level.h>
#include <log4cxx/appenderskeleton.h>

using namespace log4cxx;
using namespace log4cxx::helpers;

class ROSConsoleStdioAppender : public log4cxx::AppenderSkeleton
{
public:
  ~ROSConsoleStdioAppender()
  {
  }

protected:
  virtual void append(const log4cxx::spi::LoggingEventPtr& event,
                      log4cxx::helpers::Pool&)
  {
  }

  virtual void close()
  {
  }

  virtual bool requiresLayout() const
  {
    return false;
  }
};

int main(){
    LoggerPtr logger(Logger::getLogger("main"));
    logger->addAppender(new ROSConsoleStdioAppender);
    return 0;
}

Technical reason:
Since the new version of log4cxx uses std::shared_ptr(instead of the
homegrown smart pointer solution), you need to slightly modify your code to
work.  The reason for the shared_ptr is that it's standard, and it fixes
some bugs with regards to reference counting.  The original homegrown
solution was implicitly convertible to/from a pointer; shared_ptr is not.

Create a typedef for your appender using the LOG4CXX_PTR_DEF macro:

LOG4CXX_PTR_DEF(ROSConsoleStdioAppender)

Then just create a new shared_ptr with your typedef:

ROSConsoleStdioAppenderPtr(new ROSConsoleStdioAppender());
