我必须用sprintf格式化std::string,并将其发送到文件流。我该怎么做呢?


当前回答

为了以'sprintf'方式格式化std::string,调用snprintf(参数nullptr和0)来获得所需的缓冲区长度。使用c++ 11可变模板编写函数,如下所示:

#include <cstdio>
#include <string>
#include <cassert>

template< typename... Args >
std::string string_sprintf( const char* format, Args... args ) {
  int length = std::snprintf( nullptr, 0, format, args... );
  assert( length >= 0 );

  char* buf = new char[length + 1];
  std::snprintf( buf, length + 1, format, args... );

  std::string str( buf );
  delete[] buf;
  return str;
}

使用c++11支持编译,例如在GCC: g++ -std=c++11中编译

用法:

  std::cout << string_sprintf("%g, %g\n", 1.23, 0.001);

其他回答

这是谷歌的做法: facebook也以类似的方式:StringPrintf (Apache许可证) 两者都提供了一个方便的StringAppendF。

更新1:增加了fmt::格式测试

我对这里介绍的方法进行了自己的研究,得到了与这里提到的完全相反的结果。

我用了4个函数/ 4个方法:

可变变量函数+ vsnprintf + std::unique_ptr 可变变量函数+ vsnprintf + std::string 可变变量模板函数+ std::ostringstream + std::tuple +实用程序::for_each 来自Fmt库的Fmt::format函数

对于googletest使用的测试后端。

#include <string>
#include <cstdarg>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <memory>
#include <algorithm>

#include <fmt/format.h>

inline std::string string_format(size_t string_reserve, const std::string fmt_str, ...)
{
    size_t str_len = (std::max)(fmt_str.size(), string_reserve);

    // plain buffer is a bit faster here than std::string::reserve
    std::unique_ptr<char[]> formatted;

    va_list ap;
    va_start(ap, fmt_str);

    while (true) {
        formatted.reset(new char[str_len]);

        const int final_n = vsnprintf(&formatted[0], str_len, fmt_str.c_str(), ap);

        if (final_n < 0 || final_n >= int(str_len))
            str_len += (std::abs)(final_n - int(str_len) + 1);
        else
            break;
    }

    va_end(ap);

    return std::string(formatted.get());
}

inline std::string string_format2(size_t string_reserve, const std::string fmt_str, ...)
{
    size_t str_len = (std::max)(fmt_str.size(), string_reserve);
    std::string str;

    va_list ap;
    va_start(ap, fmt_str);

    while (true) {
        str.resize(str_len);

        const int final_n = vsnprintf(const_cast<char *>(str.data()), str_len, fmt_str.c_str(), ap);

        if (final_n < 0 || final_n >= int(str_len))
            str_len += (std::abs)(final_n - int(str_len) + 1);
        else {
            str.resize(final_n); // do not forget to shrink the size!
            break;
        }
    }

    va_end(ap);

    return str;
}

template <typename... Args>
inline std::string string_format3(size_t string_reserve, Args... args)
{
    std::ostringstream ss;
    if (string_reserve) {
        ss.rdbuf()->str().reserve(string_reserve);
    }
    std::tuple<Args...> t{ args... };
    utility::for_each(t, [&ss](auto & v)
    {
        ss << v;
    });
    return ss.str();
}

for_each实现从这里开始:遍历tuple

#include <type_traits>
#include <tuple>

namespace utility {

    template <std::size_t I = 0, typename FuncT, typename... Tp>
    inline typename std::enable_if<I == sizeof...(Tp), void>::type
        for_each(std::tuple<Tp...> &, const FuncT &)
    {
    }

    template<std::size_t I = 0, typename FuncT, typename... Tp>
    inline typename std::enable_if<I < sizeof...(Tp), void>::type
        for_each(std::tuple<Tp...> & t, const FuncT & f)
    {
        f(std::get<I>(t));
        for_each<I + 1, FuncT, Tp...>(t, f);
    }

}

正如你所看到的,通过vsnprintf+std::string实现等于fmt::format,但比通过vsnprintf+std::unique_ptr更快,而vsnprintf+std::unique_ptr比通过std::ostringstream更快。

测试在Visual Studio 2015 Update 3中编译,运行于Windows 7 x64 / Intel酷睿i7-4820K CPU @ 3.70GHz / 16GB。

你不能直接这样做,因为你没有对底层缓冲区的写访问权(直到c++ 11;见Dietrich Epp的评论)。你必须先在c-string中执行,然后将其复制到std::string中:

  char buff[100];
  snprintf(buff, sizeof(buff), "%s", "Hello");
  std::string buffAsStdStr = buff;

但我不确定为什么不直接使用字符串流?我想你有特定的理由不这么做:

  std::ostringstream stringStream;
  stringStream << "Hello";
  std::string copyOfStr = stringStream.str();

下面是@iFreilicht答案的稍微修改版本,更新到c++ 14(使用make_unique函数而不是原始声明),并增加了对std::string参数的支持(基于Kenny Kerr的文章)

#include <iostream>
#include <memory>
#include <string>
#include <cstdio>

template <typename T>
T process_arg(T value) noexcept
{
    return value;
}

template <typename T>
T const * process_arg(std::basic_string<T> const & value) noexcept
{
    return value.c_str();
}

template<typename ... Args>
std::string string_format(const std::string& format, Args const & ... args)
{
    const auto fmt = format.c_str();
    const size_t size = std::snprintf(nullptr, 0, fmt, process_arg(args) ...) + 1;
    auto buf = std::make_unique<char[]>(size);
    std::snprintf(buf.get(), size, fmt, process_arg(args) ...);
    auto res = std::string(buf.get(), buf.get() + size - 1);
    return res;
}

int main()
{
    int i = 3;
    float f = 5.f;
    char* s0 = "hello";
    std::string s1 = "world";
    std::cout << string_format("i=%d, f=%f, s=%s %s", i, f, s0, s1) << "\n";
}

输出:

i = 3, f = 5.000000, s = hello world

如果需要,可以随意将这个答案与原始答案合并。

c++ 17解决方案(这将工作于std::string和std::wstring):

分配一个缓冲区,格式化它,然后复制到另一个字符串是不高效的。可以创建格式化字符串大小的std::string,并直接格式化到字符串缓冲区中:

#include <string>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <cwchar>
#include <cstdio>
#include <type_traits>

template<typename T, typename ... Args>
std::basic_string<T> string_format(T const* const format, Args ... args)
{
    int size_signed{ 0 };

    // 1) Determine size with error handling:    
    if constexpr (std::is_same_v<T, char>) { // C++17
        size_signed = std::snprintf(nullptr, 0, format, args ...);
    }
    else {
        size_signed = std::swprintf(nullptr, 0, format, args ...);
    }  
    if (size_signed <= 0) {
        throw std::runtime_error("error during formatting.");
    }
    const auto size = static_cast<size_t>(size_signed);

    // 2) Prepare formatted string:
    std::basic_string<T> formatted(size, T{});
    if constexpr (std::is_same_v<T, char>) { // C++17
        std::snprintf(formatted.data(), size + 1, format, args ...); // +1 for the '\0' (it will not be part of formatted).
    }
    else {
        std::swprintf(formatted.data(), size + 1, format, args ...); // +1 for the '\0' (it will not be part of formatted).
    }

    return formatted; // Named Return Value Optimization (NRVO), avoids an unnecessary copy. 
}

此外:通常,format参数是char[] / wchar_t[] &创建std::string对象效率不高。传递char*或wchar_t* &如果你已经有一个std::string对象,你仍然可以使用它作为your_string.c_str()。例子:

int main()
{
    int i{ 0 };

    // The format parameter is a char[] / wchar_t[]:

    const std::string title1 = string_format("story[%d].", ++i); // => "story[1]"

    const std::wstring title2 = string_format(L"story[%d].", ++i); // => L"story[2]"

    // If you already have a std::string object:

    const std::string format1{ "story[%d]." };
    const std::string title3 = string_format(format1.c_str(), ++i); // => "story[3]"

    const std::wstring format2{ L"story[%d]." };
    const std::wstring title4 = string_format(format2.c_str(), ++i); // => L"story[4]"  
}
