我正在使用一个库，不幸的是使用boost::lexical_cast从double转换为string。
我需要能够明确地反映出我身边的这种行为，但我正在跳跃这样做而不传播boost。
我可以使用to_string，sprintf或标准中包含的其他功能保证相同的行为吗？
增强代码最终在这里：
bool shl_real_type(double val, char* begin) {
using namespace std;
finish = start +
#if defined(_MSC_VER) && (_MSC_VER >= 1400) && !defined(__SGI_STL_PORT) && !defined(_STLPORT_VERSION)
sprintf_s(begin, CharacterBufferSize,
#else
sprintf(begin,
#endif
"%.*g", static_cast<int>(boost::detail::lcast_get_precision<double>()), val);
return finish > start;
}
你很幸运，因为精度是USUALLY编译时常量（除非boost配置BOOST_LCAST_NO_COMPILE_TIME_PRECISION）。
简化一下，允许符合标准的现代标准库：
#include <cstdio>
#include <limits>
#include <string>
namespace {
template <class T> struct lcast_precision {
typedef std::numeric_limits<T> limits;
static constexpr bool use_default_precision = !limits::is_specialized || limits::is_exact;
static constexpr bool is_specialized_bin = !use_default_precision && limits::radix == 2 && limits::digits > 0;
static constexpr bool is_specialized_dec = !use_default_precision && limits::radix == 10 && limits::digits10 > 0;
static constexpr unsigned int precision_dec = limits::digits10 + 1U;
static constexpr unsigned long precision_bin = 2UL + limits::digits * 30103UL / 100000UL;
static constexpr unsigned value = is_specialized_bin
? precision_bin
: is_specialized_dec? precision_dec : 6;
};
std::string mimicked(double v) {
constexpr int prec = static_cast<int>(lcast_precision<double>::value);
std::string buf(prec+10, ' ');
buf.resize(sprintf(&buf[0], "%.*g", prec, v));
return buf;
}
}
要比较结果并检查假设：
#include <cstdio>
#include <limits>
#include <string>
namespace {
template <class T> struct lcast_precision {
typedef std::numeric_limits<T> limits;
static constexpr bool use_default_precision = !limits::is_specialized || limits::is_exact;
static constexpr bool is_specialized_bin = !use_default_precision && limits::radix == 2 && limits::digits > 0;
static constexpr bool is_specialized_dec = !use_default_precision && limits::radix == 10 && limits::digits10 > 0;
static constexpr unsigned int precision_dec = limits::digits10 + 1U;
static constexpr unsigned long precision_bin = 2UL + limits::digits * 30103UL / 100000UL;
static constexpr unsigned value = is_specialized_bin
? precision_bin
: is_specialized_dec? precision_dec : 6;
};
std::string mimicked(double v) {
constexpr int prec = static_cast<int>(lcast_precision<double>::value);
std::string buf(prec+10, ' ');
buf.resize(sprintf(&buf[0], "%.*g", prec, v));
return buf;
}
}
#include <cmath>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
#ifdef BOOST_LCAST_NO_COMPILE_TIME_PRECISION
#error BOOM

#define TEST(x) \

} while (0)
std::string use_sprintf(double v) {
std::string buf(32, ' ');
buf.resize(std::sprintf(&buf[0], "%f", v));
return buf;
}
void tests() {

请注意，mimicked和boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(double)每次都会产生完全相同的输出。
所以经过几个小时的Boost模板挖掘后，这就是我所学到的：
lexical_cast_do_cast<std::string, double>::lexical_cast_implstd::sprintf中使用boost::detail::lexical_stream_limited_src<char, std::char_traits<char>, false>boost::detail::lexical_stream_limited_src<char, std::char_traits<char>, true>::operator<<将用于插入double，传递begin，指向分配的std::string缓冲区的指针，val，输入double，产生此调用：std::sprintf(begin, "%.*g", static_cast<int>(boost::detail::lcast_get_precision<double>()), val)boost::details::lcast_precision<double>::value，它将使用std::numeric_limits<double>;如果它是is_specialized是false，is_exact是false，radix是2，而digits大于0然后boost::details::lcast_precision<double>::value将评估为：2UL + std::numeric_limits<double>::digits * 30103UL / 100000UL因此，如果begin是分配的string而val是输入双，boost::lexical_cast<double>产生的最终结果相当于：
std::sprintf(begin, "%.*g", 2UL + std::numeric_limits<double>::digits * 30103UL / 100000UL, val)
这显然是严重依赖于实现的。但是在我的系统上，这将产生完全相同的效果。
