If you just want a C-style string representing the same content: char const* ca = str.c_str(); If you want a C-style string with new contents, one way (given that you don't know the string size at compile-time) is dynamic allocation: char* ca = new char[str.size()+1]; std::copy(str.begin(), str.end(), ca); ca[str.size()] = '\0'; Don't forget to delete[] it later. If you want a statically-allocated, limited-length array instead: size_t const MAX = 80; // maximum number of chars char ca[MAX] = {}; std::copy(str.begin(), (str.size() >= MAX ? str.begin() + MAX : str.end()), ca);

string不会隐式转换为这些类型，原因很简单，需要这样做通常是一种设计风格。确保你真的需要它。

如果你确实需要一个char*，最好的方法可能是:

vector<char> v(str.begin(), str.end());
char* ca = &v[0]; // pointer to start of vector

它不会自动转换(感谢上帝)。您必须使用c_str()方法来获取C字符串版本。

std::string str = "string";
const char *cstr = str.c_str();

注意，它返回一个const char *;你不允许改变c_str()返回的c风格字符串。如果你想处理它，你必须先复制它:

std::string str = "string";
char *cstr = new char[str.length() + 1];
strcpy(cstr, str.c_str());
// do stuff
delete [] cstr;

或者在现代c++中:

std::vector<char> cstr(str.c_str(), str.c_str() + str.size() + 1);

假设你只需要一个c风格的字符串作为输入传递:

std::string str = "string";
const char* chr = str.c_str();

如果我需要c++字符串内容的可变原始副本，那么我会这样做:

std::string str = "string";
char* chr = strdup(str.c_str());

后来:

free(chr); 

So why don't I fiddle with std::vector or new[] like anyone else? Because when I need a mutable C-style raw char* string, then because I want to call C code which changes the string and C code deallocates stuff with free() and allocates with malloc() (strdup uses malloc). So if I pass my raw string to some function X written in C it might have a constraint on it's argument that it has to allocated on the heap (for example if the function might want to call realloc on the parameter). But it is highly unlikely that it would expect an argument allocated with (some user-redefined) new[]!

(这个答案只适用于c++ 98。)

请不要使用原始的char*。

std::string str = "string";
std::vector<char> chars(str.c_str(), str.c_str() + str.size() + 1u);
// use &chars[0] as a char*
