bool的printf格式说明符是什么？

本文翻译自：What is the printf format specifier for bool?

Since ANSI C99 there is _Bool or bool via stdbool.h . 从ANSI C99开始，通过stdbool.h _Bool或bool 。 But is there also a printf format specifier for bool? 但是还有bool的printf格式说明符吗？

I mean something like in that pseudo code: 我的意思是伪代码中的内容：

bool x = true;
printf("%B\n", x);

which would print: 它将打印：

true

There is no format specifier for bool. 没有用于bool的格式说明符。 You can print it using some of the existing specifiers for printing integral types or do something more fancy: 您可以使用一些现有的用于打印整数类型的说明符来打印它，或者做一些更有趣的事情：

 printf("%s", x?"true":"false");

There isn't. 没有。 But since any integral type shorter than int is promoted to int when passed down to printf() s variadic arguments, you can use %d : 但是，由于当传递给printf()的可变参数时，任何比int短的整数类型都会提升为int ，因此可以使用%d ：

bool x = true;
printf("%d\n", x); // prints 1

But why not 但是为什么不呢

printf(x ? "true" : "false");

or better 或更好

printf("%s", x ? "true" : "false");

or even better 甚至更好

fputs(x ? "true" : "false", stdout);

instead? 代替？

You can't, but you can print 0 or 1 您不能，但是可以打印0或1

_Bool b = 1;
printf("%d\n", b);

In the tradition of itoa() : 按照itoa()的传统：

#define btoa(x) ((x)?"true":"false")

bool x = true;
printf("%s\n", btoa(x));

ANSI C99/C11 don't include an extra printf conversion specifier for bool . ANSI C99 / C11不包含用于bool的额外的printf转换说明符。

But the GNU C library provides an API for adding custom specifiers . 但是GNU C库提供了用于添加自定义说明符的API 。

An example: 一个例子：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <printf.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

static int bool_arginfo(const struct printf_info *info, size_t n,
    int *argtypes, int *size)
{
  if (n) {
    argtypes[0] = PA_INT;
    *size = sizeof(bool);
  }
  return 1;
}
static int bool_printf(FILE *stream, const struct printf_info *info,
    const void *const *args)
{
  bool b =  *(const bool*)(args[0]);
  int r = fputs(b ? "true" : "false", stream);
  return r == EOF ? -1 : (b ? 4 : 5);
}
static int setup_bool_specifier()
{
  int r = register_printf_specifier('B', bool_printf, bool_arginfo);
  return r;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  int r = setup_bool_specifier();
  if (r) return 1;
  bool b = argc > 1;
  r = printf("The result is: %B\n", b);
  printf("(written %d characters)\n", r);
  return 0;
}

Since it is a glibc extensions the GCC warns about that custom specifier: 由于它是glibc扩展，因此GCC警告该自定义说明符：

$ gcc -Wall -g    main.c   -o main
main.c: In function ‘main’:
main.c:34:3: warning: unknown conversion type character ‘B’ in format [-Wformat=]
   r = printf("The result is: %B\n", b);
   ^
main.c:34:3: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args]

Output: 输出：

$ ./main
The result is: false
(written 21 characters)
$ ./main 1
The result is: true
(written 20 characters)
