Boost::format()提供了你想要的功能:

Boost格式库简介如下:

format对象由format-string构造，然后通过反复调用运算符%来给出参数。 然后，每个参数都被转换为字符串，这些字符串又根据format-string组合成一个字符串。

#include <boost/format.hpp>

cout << boost::format("writing %1%,  x=%2% : %3%-th try") % "toto" % 40.23 % 50; 
// prints "writing toto,  x=40.230 : 50-th try"

更新了一些答案，不同的是-函数将正确接受std::string为%s

namespace format_helper
{

    template <class Src>
    inline Src cast(Src v)
    {
        return v;
    }

    inline const char *cast(const std::string& v)
    {
        return v.c_str();
    }
};

template <typename... Ts>
inline std::string stringfmt (const std::string &fmt, Ts&&... vs)
{
    using namespace format_helper;
    char b;
    size_t required = std::snprintf(&b, 0, fmt.c_str(), cast(std::forward<Ts>(vs))...);//not counting the terminating null character.
    std::string result;
    //because we use string as container, it adds extra 0 automatically
    result.resize(required , 0);
    //and snprintf will use n-1 bytes supplied
    std::snprintf(const_cast<char*>(result.data()), required + 1, fmt.c_str(), cast(std::forward<Ts>(vs))...);

    return result;
}

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…

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;
}

对于Visual C:

std::wstring stringFormat(const wchar_t* fmt, ...)
{
    if (!fmt) {
        return L"";
    }

    std::vector<wchar_t> buff;
    size_t size = wcslen(fmt) * 2;
    buff.resize(size);
    va_list ap;
    va_start(ap, fmt);
    while (true) {
        int ret = _vsnwprintf_s(buff.data(), size, _TRUNCATE, fmt, ap);
        if (ret != -1)
            break;
        else {
            size *= 2;
            buff.resize(size);
        }
    }
    va_end(ap);
    return std::wstring(buff.data());
}

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]"  
}
