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);

如果你只想要一个类似printf的语法(不需要自己调用printf)，可以看看Boost Format。

这个问题已经解决了。但是，我认为这是c++中格式化字符串的另一种方式

class string_format {
private:
    std::string _result;
public:
    string_format( ) { }
    ~string_format( ) { std::string( ).swap( _result ); }
    const std::string& get_data( ) const { return _result; }
    template<typename T, typename... Targs>
    void format( const char* fmt, T value, Targs... Fargs ) {
        for ( ; *fmt != '\0'; fmt++ ) {
            if ( *fmt == '%' ) {
                _result += value;
                this->format( fmt + 1, Fargs..., 0 ); // recursive call
                return;
            }
            _result += *fmt;
        }
    }
    friend std::ostream& operator<<( std::ostream& ostream, const string_format& inst );
};
inline std::string& operator+=( std::string& str, int val ) {
    str.append( std::to_string( val ) );
    return str;
}
inline std::string& operator+=( std::string& str, double val ) {
    str.append( std::to_string( val ) );
    return str;
}
inline std::string& operator+=( std::string& str, bool val ) {
    str.append( val ? "true" : "false" );
    return str;
}
inline std::ostream& operator<<( std::ostream& ostream, const string_format& inst ) {
    ostream << inst.get_data( );
    return ostream;
}

并测试这个类:

string_format fmt;
fmt.format( "Hello % and is working ? Ans: %", "world", true );
std::cout << fmt;

你可以在这里查一下

到目前为止，所有的答案似乎都有一个或多个这样的问题:(1)它可能无法在vc++上工作(2)它需要额外的依赖，如boost或fmt(3)它太复杂的自定义实现，可能没有经过很好的测试。

下面的代码解决了上述所有问题。

#include <string>
#include <cstdarg>
#include <memory>

std::string stringf(const char* format, ...)
{
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, format);
    #ifndef _MSC_VER

        //GCC generates warning for valid use of snprintf to get
        //size of result string. We suppress warning with below macro.
        #ifdef __GNUC__
        #pragma GCC diagnostic push
        #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wformat-nonliteral"
        #endif

        size_t size = std::snprintf(nullptr, 0, format, args) + 1; // Extra space for '\0'

        #ifdef __GNUC__
        # pragma GCC diagnostic pop
        #endif

        std::unique_ptr<char[]> buf(new char[ size ] ); 
        std::vsnprintf(buf.get(), size, format, args);
        return std::string(buf.get(), buf.get() + size - 1 ); // We don't want the '\0' inside
    #else
        int size = _vscprintf(format, args);
        std::string result(++size, 0);
        vsnprintf_s((char*)result.data(), size, _TRUNCATE, format, args);
        return result;
    #endif
    va_end(args);
}    

int main() {
    float f = 3.f;
    int i = 5;
    std::string s = "hello!";
    auto rs = stringf("i=%d, f=%f, s=%s", i, f, s.c_str());
    printf("%s", rs.c_str());
    return 0;
}

注:

Separate VC++ code branch is necessary because VC++ has decided to deprecate snprintf which will generate compiler warnings for other highly voted answers above. As I always run in "warnings as errors" mode, its no go for me. The function accepts char * instead of std::string. This because most of the time this function would be called with literal string which is indeed char *, not std::string. In case you do have std::string as format parameter, then just call .c_str(). Name of the function is stringf instead of things like string_format to keepup with printf, scanf etc. It doesn't address safety issue (i.e. bad parameters can potentially cause seg fault instead of exception). If you need this then you are better off with boost or fmt libraries. My preference here would be fmt because it is just one header and source file to drop in the project while having less weird formatting syntax than boost. However both are non-compatible with printf format strings so below is still useful in that case. The stringf code passes through GCC strict mode compilation. This requires extra #pragma macros to suppress false positives in GCC warnings.

以上代码已在，

GCC 4.9.2 11 / c++ / C + + 14 vc++编译器19.0 铿锵声3.7.0

inline void format(string& a_string, const char* fmt, ...)
{
    va_list vl;
    va_start(vl, fmt);
    int size = _vscprintf( fmt, vl );
    a_string.resize( ++size );
    vsnprintf_s((char*)a_string.data(), size, _TRUNCATE, fmt, vl);
    va_end(vl);
}

这是可以尝试的。简单。虽然没有使用字符串类的细微差别。

#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <assert.h>

#include <string>
#include <exception>
using namespace std;

class StringFormatter
{
public:
    static string format(const char *format, ...);
};

string StringFormatter::format(const char *format, ...)
{
    va_list  argptr;

    va_start(argptr, format);

        char   *ptr;
        size_t  size;
        FILE   *fp_mem = open_memstream(&ptr, &size);
        assert(fp_mem);

        vfprintf (fp_mem, format, argptr);
        fclose (fp_mem);

    va_end(argptr);

    string ret = ptr;
    free(ptr);

    return ret;
}

int main(void)
