const char* byte_to_binary(int x)
{
    static char b[sizeof(int)*8+1] = {0};
    int y;
    long long z;

    for (z = 1LL<<sizeof(int)*8-1, y = 0; z > 0; z >>= 1, y++) {
        b[y] = (((x & z) == z) ? '1' : '0');
    }
    b[y] = 0;

    return b;
}

即使是支持%b的运行时库，它似乎也只适用于整数值。

如果您想打印二进制的浮点值，我写了一些代码，您可以在http://www.exploringbinary.com/converting-floating-point-numbers-to-binary-strings-in-c/上找到。

这里有一个快速的技巧来演示如何做你想做的事情。

#include <stdio.h>      /* printf */
#include <string.h>     /* strcat */
#include <stdlib.h>     /* strtol */

const char *byte_to_binary
(
    int x
)
{
    static char b[9];
    b[0] = '\0';

    int z;
    for (z = 128; z > 0; z >>= 1)
    {
        strcat(b, ((x & z) == z) ? "1" : "0");
    }

    return b;
}

int main
(
    void
)
{
    {
        /* binary string to int */

        char *tmp;
        char *b = "0101";

        printf("%d\n", strtol(b, &tmp, 2));
    }

    {
        /* byte to binary string */

        printf("%s\n", byte_to_binary(5));
    }
    
    return 0;
}

这可能不是很有效，但很简单。试试这个:

tmp1 = 1;
while(inint/tmp1 > 1) {
    tmp1 <<= 1;
}
do {
    printf("%d", tmp2=inint/tmp1);
    inint -= tmp1*tmp2;
} while((tmp1 >>= 1) > 0);
printf(" ");

下面是paniq解决方案的一个小变种，它使用模板来允许打印32位和64位整数:

template<class T>
inline std::string format_binary(T x)
{
    char b[sizeof(T)*8+1] = {0};

    for (size_t z = 0; z < sizeof(T)*8; z++)
        b[sizeof(T)*8-1-z] = ((x>>z) & 0x1) ? '1' : '0';

    return std::string(b);
}

并且可以这样使用:

unsigned int value32 = 0x1e127ad;
printf( "  0x%x: %s\n", value32, format_binary(value32).c_str() );

unsigned long long value64 = 0x2e0b04ce0;
printf( "0x%llx: %s\n", value64, format_binary(value64).c_str() );

结果如下:

  0x1e127ad: 00000001111000010010011110101101
0x2e0b04ce0: 0000000000000000000000000000001011100000101100000100110011100000

这段代码可以处理64位的需求。 我创建了两个函数:pBin和pBinFill。两者都做同样的事情，但是pBinFill用最后一个参数提供的填充字符填充前导空格。 测试函数生成一些测试数据，然后使用pBinFill函数将其打印出来。

#define kDisplayWidth 64

char* pBin(long int x,char *so)
{
  char s[kDisplayWidth+1];
  int i = kDisplayWidth;
  s[i--] = 0x00;  // terminate string
  do {  // fill in array from right to left
    s[i--] = (x & 1) ? '1' : '0';  // determine bit
    x >>= 1;  // shift right 1 bit
  } while (x > 0);
  i++;  // point to last valid character
  sprintf(so, "%s", s+i);  // stick it in the temp string string
  return so;
}

char* pBinFill(long int x, char *so, char fillChar)
{
  // fill in array from right to left
  char s[kDisplayWidth+1];
  int i = kDisplayWidth;
  s[i--] = 0x00;  // terminate string
  do {  // fill in array from right to left
    s[i--] = (x & 1) ? '1' : '0';
    x >>= 1;  // shift right 1 bit
  } while (x > 0);
  while (i >= 0) s[i--] = fillChar;  // fill with fillChar 
  sprintf(so, "%s", s);
  return so;
}

void test()
{
  char so[kDisplayWidth+1];  // working buffer for pBin
  long int val = 1;
  do {
    printf("%ld =\t\t%#lx =\t\t0b%s\n", val, val, pBinFill(val, so, '0'));
    val *= 11;  // generate test data
  } while (val < 100000000);
}

输出:

00000001 =  0x000001 =  0b00000000000000000000000000000001
