I'm converting some old C code to C++. Although I'm not concerned
about converting every C item to C++ I'm in a situation in which using
an ostringstream makes more sense than using sprintf. Here's my
problem: In sprintf, one could use the %g symbol to indicate that I
either wanted scientific notation or a simple floating point,
whichever is smaller. Is there a way to do that using an
ostringstream?
Basically, what is the ostringstream equivalent of:
sprintf(buffer, "%-20.12g",mynum);

I would think it does that by default, no? Just output 'mynum' and
it should do what you need. As to '20' and '12', look for the 'setw'
and 'setprecision' manipulators.

Ah... I see. I was trying too hard. Yes it does do it like the %g
by default. Thanks!

For some reason the following code is not compiling.
void Find_score(void)
{
glColor3f(1.0,0.0,0.0);
std::ostringstream ostr; //turn int score into a string
ostr << score; //score is defined some where
else
std::string LL = ostr.str();

Hey
Iam occaisonally using something like
char buffer;
sprinf(buffer,"Hello test %d %s",someint,somestring);
Is there any _convenient_ and buffer overflow secure equivalent for that
using std::string?
Thanks

Hi,
I went through most of the FAQ but did not find any direct references
formatting outputed data. If I have a application in C like so:
void main(void)
{
int nValue = 100;
double dPi = 3.14159265;
char sName = {"Morpheus"};

I am writing code that needs to run on a variety of Unix systems. I am
calling the statvfs and statfs system calls and I need to to convert some of
the integers returned to character strings. Normally I would do this using
sprintf as so:
sprintf(&buffer, "%lu", integer);
The problem is that I will not know if the integer values I am converting
are long or long long. I also do not know if the compilers being used will
support long long...

How can I rewrite this code to avoid the possibility of a
buffer overflow?
sprintf(errbuf, "%s\nError is: %u: %s\n", errmsg, dwErrCode, s );
Here:
errmsg = a string
dwErrCode = a number
s = a string
I do have value 'errbuflen' = length of buffer 'errbuf'.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
