我现在将为Visual Studio编写版本，希望有一天有人会让它变得可移植。(怀疑需要用vsnwprintf替换_vsnwprintf之类的东西。)

您需要使用项目配置中的define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS来禁用已弃用的警告。

我使用_vsnwprintf与第一个参数作为nullptr能够估计缓冲区大小，保留wstring缓冲区，然后格式化字符串直接到缓冲区。

不确定为什么需要禁用已弃用警告，因为相同方法调用(_vsnwprintf_s)的安全版本不能使用nullptr作为输入。怀疑需要报告给微软c++团队。

这个版本应该同时使用- string类或wstring类。

如果你发现任何错误或不一致，请再问一次，我会尽力修复它。

stringHelpers.h:

#pragma once
#include <string>

//
//  Formats string/wstring according to format, if formatting fails (e.g. invalid %s pointer - returns empty string)
//
template <typename T>
std::basic_string<T> sFormat(const T* format, ...)
{
    va_list args;
    va_start(args, format);
    int size;

    if constexpr (std::is_same_v<T, char>)
        size = vsnprintf(nullptr, 0, format, args);
    else
        size = _vsnwprintf(nullptr, 0, format, args);

    size++; // Zero termination
    std::basic_string<T> s;
    s.resize(size);

    if constexpr (std::is_same_v<T, char>)
        vsnprintf(&s[0], size, format, args);
    else
        _vsnwprintf(&s[0], size, format, args);

    va_end(args);
    return s;
}

以上是代码示例，可以复制。我将维护工作版本在我自己的仓库在github:

https://github.com/tapika/cppscriptcore/blob/master/SolutionProjectModel/helpers.h#L12

更新了一些答案，不同的是-函数将正确接受std::string为%s

namespace format_helper
{

    template <class Src>
    inline Src cast(Src v)
    {
        return v;
    }

    inline const char *cast(const std::string& v)
    {
        return v.c_str();
    }
};

template <typename... Ts>
inline std::string stringfmt (const std::string &fmt, Ts&&... vs)
{
    using namespace format_helper;
    char b;
    size_t required = std::snprintf(&b, 0, fmt.c_str(), cast(std::forward<Ts>(vs))...);//not counting the terminating null character.
    std::string result;
    //because we use string as container, it adds extra 0 automatically
    result.resize(required , 0);
    //and snprintf will use n-1 bytes supplied
    std::snprintf(const_cast<char*>(result.data()), required + 1, fmt.c_str(), cast(std::forward<Ts>(vs))...);

    return result;
}

这是谷歌的做法: facebook也以类似的方式:StringPrintf (Apache许可证) 两者都提供了一个方便的StringAppendF。

如果缓冲区不够大，无法打印字符串，就会出现问题。在打印格式化消息之前，必须确定格式化字符串的长度。 我制作了自己的帮助器(在Windows和Linux GCC上测试)，您可以尝试使用它。

从Dacav和pixelpoint的答案中获得灵感。我玩了一下，得到了这个:

#include <cstdarg>
#include <cstdio>
#include <string>

std::string format(const char* fmt, ...)
{
    va_list vl;

    va_start(vl, fmt);
    int size = vsnprintf(0, 0, fmt, vl) + sizeof('\0');
    va_end(vl);

    char buffer[size];

    va_start(vl, fmt);
    size = vsnprintf(buffer, size, fmt, vl);
    va_end(vl);

    return std::string(buffer, size);
}

通过合理的编程实践，我相信代码应该足够了，但是我仍然对更安全的替代方案持开放态度，这些替代方案仍然足够简单，不需要c++ 11。

下面是另一个版本，它使用初始缓冲区来防止在初始缓冲区已经足够多时再次调用vsnprintf()。

std::string format(const char* fmt, ...)
{

    va_list vl;
    int size;

    enum { INITIAL_BUFFER_SIZE = 512 };

    {
        char buffer[INITIAL_BUFFER_SIZE];

        va_start(vl, fmt);
        size = vsnprintf(buffer, INITIAL_BUFFER_SIZE, fmt, vl);
        va_end(vl);

        if (size < INITIAL_BUFFER_SIZE)
            return std::string(buffer, size);
    }

    size += sizeof('\0');

    char buffer[size];

    va_start(vl, fmt);
    size = vsnprintf(buffer, size, fmt, vl);
    va_end(vl);

    return std::string(buffer, size);
}

(事实证明，这个版本与Piti Ongmongkolkul的答案相似，只是它没有使用new和delete[]，并且在创建std::string时指定了大小。

The idea here of not using new and delete[] is to imply usage of the stack over the heap since it doesn't need to call allocation and deallocation functions, however if not properly used, it could be dangerous to buffer overflows in some (perhaps old, or perhaps just vulnerable) systems. If this is a concern, I highly suggest using new and delete[] instead. Note that the only concern here is about the allocations as vsnprintf() is already called with limits, so specifying a limit based on the size allocated on the second buffer would also prevent those.)

template<typename... Args>
std::string string_format(const char* fmt, Args... args)
{
    size_t size = snprintf(nullptr, 0, fmt, args...);
    std::string buf;
    buf.reserve(size + 1);
    buf.resize(size);
    snprintf(&buf[0], size + 1, fmt, args...);
    return buf;
}

使用C99 snprintf和c++ 11
