[gameprogrammer] Re: How to assign a numeric variable to an std::string?

I ended up doing this, which is more flexible:

std::string query;
query+=FormatString("%i", 5);

// FormatString.cpp

#include "FormatString.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdarg.h>

#if defined(__GNUC__)
#define _vsnprintf vsnprintf
#endif

char * FormatString(const char *format, ...)
{
        static int textIndex=0;
        static char text[4][8096];
        va_list ap;
        va_start(ap, format);
        if (++textIndex==4)
                textIndex=0;
        _vsnprintf(text[textIndex], 8096, format, ap);
        va_end(ap);
        text[textIndex][8096-1]=0;

        return text[textIndex];
}

Use std::stringstream, or a wrapper thereof such as boost::lexical_cast.
