在空字符串的情况下，你的代码假设将1添加到string::npos得到0。String::npos的类型是String::size_type，无符号。因此，您依赖于加法的溢出行为。

c++ 11中还加入了正则表达式模块，当然可以用它来修饰开头或结尾的空格。

也许是这样的:

std::string ltrim(const std::string& s)
{
    static const std::regex lws{"^[[:space:]]*", std::regex_constants::extended};
    return std::regex_replace(s, lws, "");
}

std::string rtrim(const std::string& s)
{
    static const std::regex tws{"[[:space:]]*$", std::regex_constants::extended};
    return std::regex_replace(s, tws, "");
}

std::string trim(const std::string& s)
{
    return ltrim(rtrim(s));
}

For what it's worth, here is a trim implementation with an eye towards performance. It's much quicker than many other trim routines I've seen around. Instead of using iterators and std::finds, it uses raw c strings and indices. It optimizes the following special cases: size 0 string (do nothing), string with no whitespace to trim (do nothing), string with only trailing whitespace to trim (just resize the string), string that's entirely whitespace (just clear the string). And finally, in the worst case (string with leading whitespace), it does its best to perform an efficient copy construction, performing only 1 copy and then moving that copy in place of the original string.

void TrimString(std::string & str)
{ 
    if(str.empty())
        return;

    const auto pStr = str.c_str();

    size_t front = 0;
    while(front < str.length() && std::isspace(int(pStr[front]))) {++front;}

    size_t back = str.length();
    while(back > front && std::isspace(int(pStr[back-1]))) {--back;}

    if(0 == front)
    {
        if(back < str.length())
        {
            str.resize(back - front);
        }
    }
    else if(back <= front)
    {
        str.clear();
    }
    else
    {
        str = std::move(std::string(str.begin()+front, str.begin()+back));
    }
}

我认为在这个例子中使用宏是一个很好的实践:(适用于c++ 98)

#define TRIM_CHARACTERS " \t\n\r\f\v"
#define TRIM_STRING(given) \
    given.erase(given.find_last_not_of(TRIM_CHARACTERS) + 1); \
    given.erase(0, given.find_first_not_of(TRIM_CHARACTERS));

例子:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

#define TRIM_CHARACTERS " \t\n\r\f\v"
#define TRIM_STRING(given) \
    given.erase(given.find_last_not_of(TRIM_CHARACTERS) + 1); \
    given.erase(0, given.find_first_not_of(TRIM_CHARACTERS));

int main(void) {
  std::string text("  hello world!! \t  \r");
  TRIM_STRING(text);
  std::cout << text; // "hello world!!"
}

这个……怎么样?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <regex>

std::string ltrim( std::string str ) {
    return std::regex_replace( str, std::regex("^\\s+"), std::string("") );
}

std::string rtrim( std::string str ) {
    return std::regex_replace( str, std::regex("\\s+$"), std::string("") );
}

std::string trim( std::string str ) {
    return ltrim( rtrim( str ) );
}

int main() {

    std::string str = "   \t  this is a test string  \n   ";
    std::cout << "-" << trim( str ) << "-\n";
    return 0;

}

注意:我对c++还是个新手，所以如果我在这里离题了，请原谅。

从Cplusplus.com上窃取的

std::string choppa(const std::string &t, const std::string &ws)
{
    std::string str = t;
    size_t found;
    found = str.find_last_not_of(ws);
    if (found != std::string::npos)
        str.erase(found+1);
    else
        str.clear();            // str is all whitespace

    return str;
}

这也适用于空情况。: -)
