为{fmt}

Question

我正在使用{fmt} library，需要构建一个动态的参数列表。基本上，我有一个格式字符串，如文档页面

fmt::print("Hello, {name}", fmt::arg("name", "test"), ...);

但参数列表（包括有多少参数）仅在运行时才知道。我查看了fmt::ArgList，其中列出了fmt::Arg个实例。但是命名参数是一个内部类fmt::internal::NamedArg，我无法看到如何传递给列表。

有什么想法吗？

我找到了使用fmtlib内部的解决方案。以下代码使用fmtlib格式化字符串字典中的字符串。必须包含特殊处理来处理arg-count＆gt; = 16，因为fmtlib对较小的参数列表使用优化。

// helper only:
inline void set_type(fmt::ULongLong& result, uint32_t index, fmt::internal::Arg::Type t)
{
    unsigned shift = index * 4;
    uint64_t mask = 0xf;
    result |= static_cast<uint64_t>(t) << shift;
}

// input: 
//     pattern = fmt::format string
//     vars = dictionary of string/string arguments
// output:
//     formatted string
std::string dformat(const std::string& pattern, const std::unordered_map<std::string, std::string>& vars)
{
    // this is a vector of "named arguments" - straightforward enough.
    std::vector<fmt::internal::NamedArg<char>> av;

    // fmtlib uses an optimization that stores the types of the first 16 arguments as 
    // bitmask-encoded 64-bit integer. 
    fmt::ULongLong types = 0;

    // we need to build the named-arguments vector. 
    // we cannot resize it to the required size (even though we know it - we have the
    // dictionary), because NamedArg has no default constructor.
    uint32_t index = 0;
    for (const auto& item : vars)
    {
        av.emplace_back(fmt::internal::NamedArg<char>(item.first, item.second));

        // we need to pack the first 16 arguments - see above
        if (index < fmt::ArgList::MAX_PACKED_ARGS)
        {
            set_type(types, index, fmt::internal::Arg::NAMED_ARG);
        }
        ++index;
    }

    // and this is a bit tricky: depending on the number of arguments we use two mutually
    // incompatible vectors to create an arglist. It has everything to do with the speed
    // (and memory) optimization above, even though the code looks nearly identical.
    if (index >= fmt::ArgList::MAX_PACKED_ARGS)
    {
        std::vector<fmt::internal::Arg> avdata;

        // note the additional terminating Arg::NONE
        avdata.resize(vars.size() + 1);
        index = 0;
        for (const auto& item : av)
        {
            avdata[index].type = fmt::internal::Arg::NAMED_ARG;
            avdata[index].pointer = &av[index];
            ++index;
        }
        return fmt::format(pattern, fmt::ArgList(types, &avdata[0]));
    }
    else
    {
        std::vector<fmt::internal::Value> avdata;

        // no need for terminating Arg::NONE, because ARG_NONE is the last encoded type 
        avdata.resize(vars.size());
        index = 0;
        for (const auto& item : av)
        {
            avdata[index].pointer = &av[index];
            ++index;
        }
        return fmt::format(pattern, fmt::ArgList(types, &avdata[0]));
    }
}

使用示例：

std::unordered_map<std::string, std::string> vars;
vars["FIRSTNAME"] = "Foo";
vars["LASTNAME"] = "Bar";

std::string result = dformat("Hello {FIRSTNAME} {LASTNAME}, how are you doing", vars);

{fmt} 从 7.0.0 开始内置支持动态参数列表。

命名动态参数：

fmt::dynamic_format_arg_store<fmt::format_context> store;
store.push_back(fmt::arg("const", "pi"));
store.push_back(fmt::arg("val", 3.14f));

std::string result = fmt::vformat("{const} = {val}", store);
// result is "pi = 3.14"

未命名的动态参数：

fmt::dynamic_format_arg_store<fmt::format_context> store;
store.push_back("answer to everything");
store.push_back(42);

std::string result = fmt::vformat("{} is {}", store);
// result is "answer to everything is 42"
