下面的函数返回给定无符号整数的二进制表示形式，使用不带前导零的指针算术:

const char* toBinaryString(unsigned long num)
{
    static char buffer[CHAR_BIT*sizeof(num)+1];
    char* pBuffer = &buffer[sizeof(buffer)-1];

    do *--pBuffer = '0' + (num & 1);
    while (num >>= 1);
    return pBuffer;
}

注意，不需要显式设置NUL结束符，因为buffer表示一个具有静态存储持续时间的对象，该对象已经被全0填充。

通过简单地修改num形式参数的类型，可以很容易地将其适应为无符号long long(或另一个无符号整数)。

CHAR_BIT要求包含<limits.h>。

下面是一个用法示例:

int main(void)
{
    printf(">>>%20s<<<\n", toBinaryString(1));
    printf(">>>%-20s<<<\n", toBinaryString(254));
    return 0;
}

其期望输出为:

>>>                   1<<<
>>>11111110            <<<

下面是一个不受重入性问题或参数大小/类型限制的函数版本:

#define FMT_BUF_SIZE (CHAR_BIT*sizeof(uintmax_t)+1)

char *binary_fmt(uintmax_t x, char buf[static FMT_BUF_SIZE])
{
    char *s = buf + FMT_BUF_SIZE;
    *--s = 0;
    if (!x) *--s = '0';
    for (; x; x /= 2) *--s = '0' + x%2;
    return s;
}

请注意，这段代码适用于2到10之间的任何底数，只要将2替换为所需的底数。用法是:

char tmp[FMT_BUF_SIZE];
printf("%s\n", binary_fmt(x, tmp));

其中x是任意的积分表达式。

const char* byte_to_binary(int x)
{
    static char b[sizeof(int)*8+1] = {0};
    int y;
    long long z;

    for (z = 1LL<<sizeof(int)*8-1, y = 0; z > 0; z >>= 1, y++) {
        b[y] = (((x & z) == z) ? '1' : '0');
    }
    b[y] = 0;

    return b;
}

根据@William Whyte的回答，这是一个提供int8、16,32和64版本的宏，重用int8宏以避免重复。

/* --- PRINTF_BYTE_TO_BINARY macro's --- */
#define PRINTF_BINARY_PATTERN_INT8 "%c%c%c%c%c%c%c%c"

#define PRINTF_BYTE_TO_BINARY_INT64(i) \
    PRINTF_BYTE_TO_BINARY_INT32((i) >> 32), PRINTF_BYTE_TO_BINARY_INT32(i)
/* --- end macros --- */

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    long long int flag = 1648646756487983144ll;
    printf("My Flag "
           PRINTF_BINARY_PATTERN_INT64 "\n",
           PRINTF_BYTE_TO_BINARY_INT64(flag));
    return 0;
}

这个输出:

My Flag 0001011011100001001010110111110101111000100100001111000000101000

为了可读性，你可能需要为eg添加分隔符:

My Flag 00010110,11100001,00101011,01111101,01111000,10010000,11110000,00101000

还有一种想法是将数字转换为十六进制格式，然后将每个十六进制密码解码为四个“位”(1和0)。Sprintf可以为我们做位操作:

const char* binary(int n) {
  static const char binnums[16][5] = { "0000","0001","0010","0011",
    "0100","0101","0110","0111","1000","1001","1010","1011","1100","1101","1110","1111" };
  static const char* hexnums = "0123456789abcdef";
  static char inbuffer[16], outbuffer[4*16];
  const char *i;
  sprintf(inbuffer,"%x",n); // hexadecimal n -> inbuffer
  for(i=inbuffer; *i!=0; ++i) { // for each hexadecimal cipher
    int d = strchr(hexnums,*i) - hexnums; // store its decimal value to d
    char* o = outbuffer+(i-inbuffer)*4; // shift four characters in outbuffer
    sprintf(o,"%s",binnums[d]); // place binary value of d there
  }
  return strchr(outbuffer,'1'); // omit leading zeros
}

puts(binary(42)); // outputs 101010

接下来将向您展示内存布局:

#include <limits>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

template<class T> string binary_text(T dec, string byte_separator = " ") {
    char* pch = (char*)&dec;
    string res;
    for (int i = 0; i < sizeof(T); i++) {
        for (int j = 1; j < 8; j++) {
            res.append(pch[i] & 1 ? "1" : "0");
            pch[i] /= 2;
        }
        res.append(byte_separator);
    }
    return res;
}

int main() {
    cout << binary_text(5) << endl;
    cout << binary_text(.1) << endl;

    return 0;
}
