一种便捷的打印数据到缓冲区的解决方案 - snprintf, vsnpintf

打印数据到缓冲区可以采用snprintf, vsnpintf等函数。

Return value

Upon successful return, these functions return the number of characters printed (not including the trailing ’\0’ used to end output to strings). The functions snprintf() and vsnprintf() do not write more than size bytes (including the trailing ’\0’). If the output was truncated due to this limit then the return value is the number of characters (not including the trailing ’\0’) which would have been written to the final string if enough space had been available. Thus, a return value of size or more means that the output was truncated. (See also below under NOTES.) If an output error is encountered, a negative value is returned.

如果我们要分多次将数据输出到一个连续缓冲区中，同时又希望避免每次输出的\0对后面的影响，不妨直接使用下面这个函数：

void databuff_printf(char *buf, const int64_t buf_len, int64_t& pos, const char* fmt, ...) { if (NULL != buf && 0 <= pos && pos <= buf_len) { va_list args; va_start(args, fmt); int len = vsnprintf(buf+pos, buf_len-pos, fmt, args); if (len < buf_len-pos) { pos += len; } else { pos = buf_len; } } }
有了这个函数之后，就很方便了。假设我们要将一个数组输出到一个字符串中：

int a[3] = { 1, 2, 3}; char buf[1024]; for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { databuff_printf(buf, buf_len, pos, "%d", a[i]); } printf("result: %s\n", buf);

done！

如果直接用snprintf则比较麻烦了。首先要记录n，然后外面还要做各种加减法。不信你试试；）
