在我看来很奇怪的是，SO网站上有这么多注重速度的书呆子，却没有人给出一个使用编译时生成的分隔符查找表的版本(下面是示例实现)。使用查找表和迭代器应该在效率上击败std::regex，如果你不需要击败regex，就使用它，它是c++ 11的标准，超级灵活。

有些人已经建议使用正则表达式，但对于新手来说，这里有一个打包的示例，应该完全符合OP的期望:

std::vector<std::string> split(std::string::const_iterator it, std::string::const_iterator end, std::regex e = std::regex{"\\w+"}){
    std::smatch m{};
    std::vector<std::string> ret{};
    while (std::regex_search (it,end,m,e)) {
        ret.emplace_back(m.str());              
        std::advance(it, m.position() + m.length()); //next start position = match position + match length
    }
    return ret;
}
std::vector<std::string> split(const std::string &s, std::regex e = std::regex{"\\w+"}){  //comfort version calls flexible version
    return split(s.cbegin(), s.cend(), std::move(e));
}
int main ()
{
    std::string str {"Some people, excluding those present, have been compile time constants - since puberty."};
    auto v = split(str);
    for(const auto&s:v){
        std::cout << s << std::endl;
    }
    std::cout << "crazy version:" << std::endl;
    v = split(str, std::regex{"[^e]+"});  //using e as delim shows flexibility
    for(const auto&s:v){
        std::cout << s << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

如果我们需要更快并接受所有字符必须为8位的约束，我们可以在编译时使用元编程创建一个查找表:

template<bool...> struct BoolSequence{};        //just here to hold bools
template<char...> struct CharSequence{};        //just here to hold chars
template<typename T, char C> struct Contains;   //generic
template<char First, char... Cs, char Match>    //not first specialization
struct Contains<CharSequence<First, Cs...>,Match> :
    Contains<CharSequence<Cs...>, Match>{};     //strip first and increase index
template<char First, char... Cs>                //is first specialization
struct Contains<CharSequence<First, Cs...>,First>: std::true_type {}; 
template<char Match>                            //not found specialization
struct Contains<CharSequence<>,Match>: std::false_type{};

template<int I, typename T, typename U> 
struct MakeSequence;                            //generic
template<int I, bool... Bs, typename U> 
struct MakeSequence<I,BoolSequence<Bs...>, U>:  //not last
    MakeSequence<I-1, BoolSequence<Contains<U,I-1>::value,Bs...>, U>{};
template<bool... Bs, typename U> 
struct MakeSequence<0,BoolSequence<Bs...>,U>{   //last  
    using Type = BoolSequence<Bs...>;
};
template<typename T> struct BoolASCIITable;
template<bool... Bs> struct BoolASCIITable<BoolSequence<Bs...>>{
    /* could be made constexpr but not yet supported by MSVC */
    static bool isDelim(const char c){
        static const bool table[256] = {Bs...};
        return table[static_cast<int>(c)];
    }   
};
using Delims = CharSequence<'.',',',' ',':','\n'>;  //list your custom delimiters here
using Table = BoolASCIITable<typename MakeSequence<256,BoolSequence<>,Delims>::Type>;

有了这些，创建getNextToken函数就很容易了:

template<typename T_It>
std::pair<T_It,T_It> getNextToken(T_It begin,T_It end){
    begin = std::find_if(begin,end,std::not1(Table{})); //find first non delim or end
    auto second = std::find_if(begin,end,Table{});      //find first delim or end
    return std::make_pair(begin,second);
}

使用它也很简单:

int main() {
    std::string s{"Some people, excluding those present, have been compile time constants - since puberty."};
    auto it = std::begin(s);
    auto end = std::end(s);
    while(it != std::end(s)){
        auto token = getNextToken(it,end);
        std::cout << std::string(token.first,token.second) << std::endl;
        it = token.second;
    }
    return 0;
}

这里有一个生动的例子:http://ideone.com/GKtkLQ

我以前只用标准库做了一个lexer/tokenizer。代码如下:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

string seps(string& s) {
    if (!s.size()) return "";
    stringstream ss;
    ss << s[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < s.size(); i++) {
        ss << '|' << s[i];
    }
    return ss.str();
}

void Tokenize(string& str, vector<string>& tokens, const string& delimiters = " ")
{
    seps(str);

    // Skip delimiters at beginning.
    string::size_type lastPos = str.find_first_not_of(delimiters, 0);
    // Find first "non-delimiter".
    string::size_type pos = str.find_first_of(delimiters, lastPos);

    while (string::npos != pos || string::npos != lastPos)
    {
        // Found a token, add it to the vector.
        tokens.push_back(str.substr(lastPos, pos - lastPos));
        // Skip delimiters.  Note the "not_of"
        lastPos = str.find_first_not_of(delimiters, pos);
        // Find next "non-delimiter"
        pos = str.find_first_of(delimiters, lastPos);
    }
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    vector<string> t;
    string s = "Tokens for everyone!";

    Tokenize(s, t, "|");

    for (auto c : t)
        cout << c << endl;

    system("pause");

    return 0;
}

/// split a string into multiple sub strings, based on a separator string
/// for example, if separator="::",
///
/// s = "abc" -> "abc"
///
/// s = "abc::def xy::st:" -> "abc", "def xy" and "st:",
///
/// s = "::abc::" -> "abc"
///
/// s = "::" -> NO sub strings found
///
/// s = "" -> NO sub strings found
///
/// then append the sub-strings to the end of the vector v.
/// 
/// the idea comes from the findUrls() function of "Accelerated C++", chapt7,
/// findurls.cpp
///
void split(const string& s, const string& sep, vector<string>& v)
{
    typedef string::const_iterator iter;
    iter b = s.begin(), e = s.end(), i;
    iter sep_b = sep.begin(), sep_e = sep.end();

    // search through s
    while (b != e){
        i = search(b, e, sep_b, sep_e);

        // no more separator found
        if (i == e){
            // it's not an empty string
            if (b != e)
                v.push_back(string(b, e));
            break;
        }
        else if (i == b){
            // the separator is found and right at the beginning
            // in this case, we need to move on and search for the
            // next separator
            b = i + sep.length();
        }
        else{
            // found the separator
            v.push_back(string(b, i));
            b = i;
        }
    }
}

boost库很好，但并不总是可用的。手工做这些事情也是很好的脑力锻炼。这里我们只使用STL中的std::search()算法，参见上面的代码。

您可以使用流、迭代器和复制算法来相当直接地做到这一点。

#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <istream>
#include <ostream>
#include <iterator>
#include <sstream>
#include <algorithm>

int main()
{
  std::string str = "The quick brown fox";

  // construct a stream from the string
  std::stringstream strstr(str);

  // use stream iterators to copy the stream to the vector as whitespace separated strings
  std::istream_iterator<std::string> it(strstr);
  std::istream_iterator<std::string> end;
  std::vector<std::string> results(it, end);

  // send the vector to stdout.
  std::ostream_iterator<std::string> oit(std::cout);
  std::copy(results.begin(), results.end(), oit);
}

下面是一个示例标记器类，它可以实现您想要的功能

//Header file
class Tokenizer 
{
    public:
        static const std::string DELIMITERS;
        Tokenizer(const std::string& str);
        Tokenizer(const std::string& str, const std::string& delimiters);
        bool NextToken();
        bool NextToken(const std::string& delimiters);
        const std::string GetToken() const;
        void Reset();
    protected:
        size_t m_offset;
        const std::string m_string;
        std::string m_token;
        std::string m_delimiters;
};

//CPP file
const std::string Tokenizer::DELIMITERS(" \t\n\r");

Tokenizer::Tokenizer(const std::string& s) :
    m_string(s), 
    m_offset(0), 
    m_delimiters(DELIMITERS) {}

Tokenizer::Tokenizer(const std::string& s, const std::string& delimiters) :
    m_string(s), 
    m_offset(0), 
    m_delimiters(delimiters) {}

bool Tokenizer::NextToken() 
{
    return NextToken(m_delimiters);
}

bool Tokenizer::NextToken(const std::string& delimiters) 
{
    size_t i = m_string.find_first_not_of(delimiters, m_offset);
    if (std::string::npos == i) 
    {
        m_offset = m_string.length();
        return false;
    }

    size_t j = m_string.find_first_of(delimiters, i);
    if (std::string::npos == j) 
    {
        m_token = m_string.substr(i);
        m_offset = m_string.length();
        return true;
    }

    m_token = m_string.substr(i, j - i);
    m_offset = j;
    return true;
}

例子:

std::vector <std::string> v;
Tokenizer s("split this string", " ");
while (s.NextToken())
{
    v.push_back(s.GetToken());
}

下面是一种方法，允许您控制是否包含空标记(如strsep)或排除空标记(如strtok)。

#include <string.h> // for strchr and strlen

/*
 * want_empty_tokens==true  : include empty tokens, like strsep()
 * want_empty_tokens==false : exclude empty tokens, like strtok()
 */
std::vector<std::string> tokenize(const char* src,
                                  char delim,
                                  bool want_empty_tokens)
{
  std::vector<std::string> tokens;

  if (src and *src != '\0') // defensive
    while( true )  {
      const char* d = strchr(src, delim);
      size_t len = (d)? d-src : strlen(src);

      if (len or want_empty_tokens)
        tokens.push_back( std::string(src, len) ); // capture token

      if (d) src += len+1; else break;
    }

  return tokens;
}
