How to use std::fixed

54 New Member
I have the following output column header:
Type Pass Cap Load Cap DOT License Serial Number
------ --------------- -------------- ------------------ ---------------------

How would I use std::fixed to line up my output with the columns?

You wouldn't, std::fixed is about how floating point numbers are displayed, to set column widths use setw (and setprecision to limit digits in a floating point number, std::fixed effects how setprecision is interpreted).

I suggest you read up on the IO Manipulators.

I'm trying to create a function that will turn a float into a std::string that always shows the number to two decimal places. I have the following but it doesn't give the desired output: inline std::string ftos(float f) { std::ostringstream buffer; buffer << std::setprecision(2) << f;

Hello, I'm writing a fixed-precision floating point class, based on the ideas in the example fixed_pt class in the "Practical C++ Programming" book by Steve Oualline (O' Reilly). This uses a long int to store the value, and the precision (number of decimal points) is variable (it's a templated class): template <size_t _decimal_places = 4> class FixedFloat {

STL allocators are templates so that when you write one you are obliged to make it work with any type. However, the Intel IPP library that we use has memory aligned allocators for each of 15 different types. For example an 8 bit unsigned array is allocated with ippsMalloc_8u(size). So I want to create memory aligned allocators for use with the STL (in particular the vector container) that is fast (due to alignment), and pointer...

Hi, I'm about to develop a new framework for my corporative applications and my first decision point is what kind of strings to use: std::string or classical C char*. Performance in my system is quite importante - it's not a realtime system, but almost - and I concern about std::string performance in terms of speed. No doubt to use std implementation is a lot easier but I can't sacrifice speed.

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 Here is the code in...
