Like the `printf` family, the `str_format` uses a "format string" to // perform argument substitutions based on types. See the `FormatSpec` section // below for format string documentation. // // Example: // // std::string s = absl::StrFormat( // "%s %s You have $%d!", "Hello", name, dollars); // // The library consists of the following basic utilities: // // * `absl::StrFormat()`, a type-safe replacement for `std::sprintf()`, to // write a format string to a `string` value. // * `absl::StrAppendFormat()` to append a format string to a `string` // * `absl::StreamFormat()` to more efficiently write a format string to a // stream, such as`std::cout`. // * `absl::PrintF()`, `absl::FPrintF()` and `absl::SNPrintF()` as // replacements for `std::printf()`, `std::fprintf()` and `std::snprintf()`. // // Note: a version of `std::sprintf()` is not supported as it is // generally unsafe due to buffer overflows. // // Additionally, you can provide a format string (and its associated arguments) // using one of the following abstractions: // // * A `FormatSpec` class template fully encapsulates a format string and its // type arguments and is usually provided to `str_format` functions as a // variadic argument of type `FormatSpec`. The `FormatSpec` // template is evaluated at compile-time, providing type safety. // * A `ParsedFormat` instance, which encapsulates a specific, pre-compiled // format string for a specific set of type(s), and which can be passed // between API boundaries. (The `FormatSpec` type should not be used // directly except as an argument type for wrapper functions.) // // The `str_format` library provides the ability to output its format strings to // arbitrary sink types: // // * A generic `Format()` function to write outputs to arbitrary sink types, // which must implement a `RawSinkFormat` interface. (See // `str_format_sink.h` for more information.) // // * A `FormatUntyped()` function that is similar to `Format()` except it is // loosely typed. `FormatUntyped()` is not a template and does not perform // any compile-time checking of the format string; instead, it returns a // boolean from a runtime check. // // In addition, the `str_format` library provides extension points for // augmenting formatting to new types. These extensions are fully documented // within the `str_format_extension.h` header file. #ifndef ABSL_STRINGS_STR_FORMAT_H_ #define ABSL_STRINGS_STR_FORMAT_H_ #include #include #include "absl/strings/internal/str_format/arg.h" // IWYU pragma: export #include "absl/strings/internal/str_format/bind.h" // IWYU pragma: export #include "absl/strings/internal/str_format/checker.h" // IWYU pragma: export #include "absl/strings/internal/str_format/extension.h" // IWYU pragma: export #include "absl/strings/internal/str_format/parser.h" // IWYU pragma: export namespace absl { // UntypedFormatSpec // // A type-erased class that can be used directly within untyped API entry // points.
