I wrote my own using vsnprintf so it returns string instead of having to create my own buffer.
#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;
}
So you can use it like
std::string mystr = format("%s %d %10.5f", "omg", 1, 10.5);
