以下是我的(简单的解决方案):

std::string Format(const char* lpszFormat, ...)
{
    // Warning : "vsnprintf" crashes with an access violation
    // exception if lpszFormat is not a "const char*" (for example, const string&)

    size_t  nSize     = 1024;
    char    *lpBuffer = (char*)malloc(nSize);

    va_list lpParams;

    while (true)
    {
        va_start(lpParams, lpszFormat);

        int nResult = vsnprintf(
            lpBuffer,
            nSize,
            lpszFormat,
            lpParams
        );

        va_end(lpParams);

        if ((nResult >= 0) && (nResult < (int)nSize) )
        {
            // Success

            lpBuffer[nResult] = '\0';
            std::string sResult(lpBuffer);

            free (lpBuffer);

            return sResult;
        }
        else
        {
            // Increase buffer

            nSize =
                  (nResult < 0)
                ? nSize *= 2
                : (nResult + 1)
            ;

            lpBuffer = (char *)realloc(lpBuffer, nSize);
        }
    }
}

这是一个特定于Windows的解决方案，旨在避免Visual Studio中的编译器警告而不消除它们。所讨论的警告是针对使用std::string和va_start，这会错误地产生警告，以及针对使用已弃用的printf变量。

template<typename ... va>
std::string Format( const std::string& format, va ... args )
{
    std::string s;
    s.resize( _scprintf( format.c_str(), args ... ) + 1 );
    s.resize( _snprintf_s( s.data(), s.capacity(), _TRUNCATE, format.c_str(), args ... ) );
    return s;
}

template<typename ... va>
std::wstring Format( const std::wstring& format, va ... args )
{
    std::wstring s;
    s.resize( _scwprintf( format.c_str(), args ... ) + 1 );
    s.resize( _snwprintf_s( s.data(), s.capacity(), _TRUNCATE, format.c_str(), args ... ) );
    return s;
}

std::string s = Format( "%hs %d", "abc", 123 );
std::wstring ws = Format( L"%hs %d", "abc", 123 );

我通常用这个:

std::string myformat(const char *const fmt, ...)
{
        char *buffer = NULL;
        va_list ap;

        va_start(ap, fmt);
        (void)vasprintf(&buffer, fmt, ap);
        va_end(ap);

        std::string result = buffer;
        free(buffer);

        return result;
}

缺点:并非所有系统都支持vasprint

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。

根据Erik Aronesty提供的答案:

std::string string_format(const std::string &fmt, ...) {
    std::vector<char> str(100,'\0');
    va_list ap;
    while (1) {
        va_start(ap, fmt);
        auto n = vsnprintf(str.data(), str.size(), fmt.c_str(), ap);
        va_end(ap);
        if ((n > -1) && (size_t(n) < str.size())) {
            return str.data();
        }
        if (n > -1)
            str.resize( n + 1 );
        else
            str.resize( str.size() * 2);
    }
    return str.data();
}

这避免了需要从原始答案中的.c_str()结果中取消const。

这是我用来在我的程序中这样做的代码…这没什么特别的，但很管用……注意，您必须根据需要调整您的尺寸。我的MAX_BUFFER是1024。

std::string Format ( const char *fmt, ... )
{
    char textString[MAX_BUFFER*5] = {'\0'};

    // -- Empty the buffer properly to ensure no leaks.
    memset(textString, '\0', sizeof(textString));

    va_list args;
    va_start ( args, fmt );
    vsnprintf ( textString, MAX_BUFFER*5, fmt, args );
    va_end ( args );
    std::string retStr = textString;
    return retStr;
}
