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

如果你在一个有asprintf(3)的系统上,你可以很容易地对它进行包装:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdarg>
#include <cstdio>

std::string format(const char *fmt, ...) __attribute__ ((format (printf, 1, 2)));

std::string format(const char *fmt, ...)
{
    std::string result;

    va_list ap;
    va_start(ap, fmt);

    char *tmp = 0;
    int res = vasprintf(&tmp, fmt, ap);
    va_end(ap);

    if (res != -1) {
        result = tmp;
        free(tmp);
    } else {
        // The vasprintf call failed, either do nothing and
        // fall through (will return empty string) or
        // throw an exception, if your code uses those
    }

    return result;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    std::string username = "you";
    std::cout << format("Hello %s! %d", username.c_str(), 123) << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

其他回答

我喜欢的一个解决方案是,在使缓冲区足够大之后,用sprintf直接在std::string缓冲区中执行此操作:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

string l_output;
l_output.resize(100);

for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i)
{       
    memset (&l_output[0], 0, 100);
    sprintf (&l_output[0], "\r%i\0", i);

    cout << l_output;
    cout.flush();
}

因此,创建std::string,调整它的大小,直接访问它的缓冲区…

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.

[编辑:20/05/25]更好的是… 在标题:

// `say` prints the values
// `says` returns a string instead of printing
// `sayss` appends the values to it's first argument instead of printing
// `sayerr` prints the values and returns `false` (useful for return statement fail-report)<br/>

void PRINTSTRING(const std::string &s); //cater for GUI, terminal, whatever..
template<typename...P> void say(P...p) { std::string r{}; std::stringstream ss(""); (ss<<...<<p); r=ss.str(); PRINTSTRING(r); }
template<typename...P> std::string says(P...p) { std::string r{}; std::stringstream ss(""); (ss<<...<<p); r=ss.str(); return r; }
template<typename...P> void sayss(std::string &s, P...p) { std::string r{}; std::stringstream ss(""); (ss<<...<<p); r=ss.str();  s+=r; } //APPENDS! to s!
template<typename...P> bool sayerr(P...p) { std::string r{}; std::stringstream ss("ERROR: "); (ss<<...<<p); r=ss.str(); PRINTSTRING(r); return false; }

PRINTSTRING(r)-函数是为了满足GUI或终端或任何特殊输出需要使用#ifdef _some_flag_,默认是:

void PRINTSTRING(const std::string &s) { std::cout << s << std::flush; }

[edit '17/8/31]添加可变参数模板版本'vtspf(..)':

template<typename T> const std::string type_to_string(const T &v)
{
    std::ostringstream ss;
    ss << v;
    return ss.str();
};

template<typename T> const T string_to_type(const std::string &str)
{
    std::istringstream ss(str);
    T ret;
    ss >> ret;
    return ret;
};

template<typename...P> void vtspf_priv(std::string &s) {}

template<typename H, typename...P> void vtspf_priv(std::string &s, H h, P...p)
{
    s+=type_to_string(h);
    vtspf_priv(s, p...);
}

template<typename...P> std::string temp_vtspf(P...p)
{
    std::string s("");
    vtspf_priv(s, p...);
    return s;
}

它实际上是一个逗号分隔的版本(而不是)有时阻碍<<-操作符,像这样使用:

char chSpace=' ';
double pi=3.1415;
std::string sWorld="World", str_var;
str_var = vtspf("Hello", ',', chSpace, sWorld, ", pi=", pi);

(之前的回答) 这是一个很晚的回答,但对于那些像我一样喜欢“sprintf”方式的人来说:我已经编写并正在使用以下函数。如果你喜欢它,你可以扩展%-选项以更接近sprintf选项;现在里面的已经足够我用了。 使用stringf()和stringfappend()与使用sprintf相同。只要记住参数…必须是POD类型。

我对这个非常流行的问题的看法。

引用printf类函数的manpage:

Upon successful return, these functions return the number of characters printed (excluding the null byte used to end output to strings). The functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() do not write more than size bytes (including the terminating null byte ('\0')). If the output was truncated due to this limit then the return value is the number of characters (excluding the terminating null byte) which would have been written to the final string if enough space had been available. Thus, a return value of size or more means that the output was truncated.

换句话说,一个正常的c++ 11实现应该是这样的:

#include <string>
#include <cstdio>

template <typename... Ts>
std::string fmt (const std::string &fmt, Ts... vs)
{
    char b;
    size_t required = std::snprintf(&b, 0, fmt.c_str(), vs...) + 1;
        // See comments: the +1 is necessary, while the first parameter
        //               can also be set to nullptr

    char bytes[required];
    std::snprintf(bytes, required, fmt.c_str(), vs...);

    return std::string(bytes);
}

它工作得很好:)

只有c++ 11支持可变参数模板。pixelpoint的答案显示了使用较旧的编程风格的类似技术。

奇怪的是,c++没有这样一个开箱即用的东西。他们最近添加了to_string(),在我看来这是向前迈出的一大步。我想知道他们是否最终会给std::string添加一个.format操作符…

Edit

正如alexk7指出的那样,std::snprintf的返回值需要A +1,因为我们需要为\0字节留出空间。直观地说,在大多数体系结构上,缺少+1将导致所需的整数部分被0覆盖。这将在std::snprintf的required作为实际参数计算之后发生,因此效果不应该可见。

然而,这个问题可以改变,例如编译器优化:如果编译器决定为所需的变量使用寄存器怎么办?这类错误有时会导致安全问题。

我用vsnprintf写了我自己的,所以它返回字符串,而不是必须创建我自己的缓冲区。

#include <string>
#include <cstdarg>

//missing string printf
//this is safe and convenient but not exactly efficient
inline std::string format(const char* fmt, ...){
    int size = 512;
    char* buffer = 0;
    buffer = new char[size];
    va_list vl;
    va_start(vl, fmt);
    int nsize = vsnprintf(buffer, size, fmt, vl);
    if(size<=nsize){ //fail delete buffer and try again
        delete[] buffer;
        buffer = 0;
        buffer = new char[nsize+1]; //+1 for /0
        nsize = vsnprintf(buffer, size, fmt, vl);
    }
    std::string ret(buffer);
    va_end(vl);
    delete[] buffer;
    return ret;
}

所以你可以用它

std::string mystr = format("%s %d %10.5f", "omg", 1, 10.5);
