您可以使用{fmt}库打印容器以及范围和元组。例如:

#include <vector>
#include <fmt/ranges.h>

int main() {
  auto v = std::vector<int>{1, 2, 3};
  fmt::print("{}", v);
}

打印

[1, 2, 3]

到标准输出(godbolt)。

我不建议对标准容器重载操作符<<，因为它可能会引入ODR违规。

这个解决方案的灵感来自Marcelo的解决方案，有一些变化:

与Marcelo的版本一样，它使用了一个is_container类型的特征，必须为所有要支持的容器特殊化。也许可以使用trait来检查value_type、const_iterator、begin()/end()，但我不确定我是否会推荐这样做，因为它可能匹配那些符合这些标准但实际上不是容器的东西，比如std::basic_string。同样像Marcelo的版本一样，它使用可以专门化的模板来指定要使用的分隔符。

主要的区别是，我围绕pretty_ostream_iterator构建了我的版本，它的工作原理类似于std::ostream_iterator，但没有在最后一项后面打印分隔符。容器的格式化是由print_container_helper完成的，它可以直接用于打印不带is_container特征的容器，或指定不同的分隔符类型。

我还定义了is_container和分隔符，因此它将适用于具有非标准谓词或分配器的容器，以及char和wchar_t。操作符<<函数本身也被定义为同时使用char和wchar_t流。

最后，我使用了std::enable_if，它是c++0x的一部分，在Visual c++ 2010和g++ 4.3(需要-std=c++0x标志)和更高版本中可用。这样就不依赖于Boost。

我看到了两个问题。正如在

for (x = 17; isalpha(firstsquare); x++)

要么是一个无限循环，要么根本没有执行，同样在if(入口== 'S')中，如果入口字符与'S'不同，则没有任何东西被推送到路径向量，使其为空，因此在屏幕上不打印任何东西。您可以检查path.empty()或打印path.size()来测试后者。

不管怎样，使用字符串而不是向量不是更好吗?您可以像访问数组一样访问字符串内容，查找字符，提取子字符串并轻松打印字符串(无需循环)。

用字符串来完成这一切可能是用一种不那么复杂的方式来编写它，并且更容易发现问题。

我的解决方案是simple.h，它是scc包的一部分。所有std容器，map, set, c-arrays都是可打印的。

从第一个BoostCon(现在叫CppCon)出来，我和另外两个人致力于一个库来实现这一点。主要的问题是需要扩展命名空间std。这对boost库来说是不可能的。

不幸的是，到代码的链接不再工作，但您可能会在讨论中发现一些有趣的花絮(至少那些没有讨论如何命名它!)

你可以使用std::experimental::make_ostream_joiner:

#include <algorithm>
#include <experimental/iterator>
#include <iostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <numeric>
#include <vector>
 
int main()
{
    std::vector<int> vi(12);
    std::iota(vi.begin(), vi.end(), -5);
    std::cout << "Int vector:\n";
    std::copy(std::begin(vi),
              std::end(vi),
              std::experimental::make_ostream_joiner(std::cout, ", "));

    std::cout <<"\nString vector:\n[";
    std::vector<std::string> vs { "some", "string", "vector" };
    std::copy(std::begin(vs),
              std::end(vs),
              std::experimental::make_ostream_joiner(std::cout, "] - ["));
    std::cout << "]\n";
}
