Pretty-print C++ STL containers

Question

Please take note of the updates at the end of this post.

Update: I have created a public project on GitHub for this library!

---

I would like to have a single template that once and for all takes care of pretty-printing all STL containers via operator<<. In pseudo code, I'm looking for something like this:

template<container C, class T, String delim = ", ", String open = "[", String close = "]">
std::ostream & operator<<(std::ostream & o, const C<T> & x)
{
    o << open;
    // for (typename C::const_iterator i = x.begin(); i != x.end(); i++) /* Old-school */
    for (auto i = x.begin(); i != x.end(); i++)
    {
        if (i != x.begin()) o << delim;
        o << *i;
    }
    o << close;
    return o;
}

Now I've seen plenty of template magic here on SO that I never thought possible, so I'm wondering if anyone can suggest something that would match all containers C. Maybe something trait-ish that can figure out if something has the necessary iterator?

Many thanks!

Update (and solution)

After raising this problem again on Channel 9, I got a fantastic answer from Sven Groot, which, combined with a bit of SFINAE type traiting, appears to solve the problem in a completely general and nestable fashion. The delimiters may be individually specialised, an example specialization for std::set is included, as well as an example of using custom delimiters.

The helper "wrap_array()" can be used to print raw C arrays. Update: Pairs and tuples are available for printing; default delimiters are round brackets.

The enable-if type trait requires C++0x, but with some modifications it should be possible to make a C++98 version of this. Tuples require variadic templates, hence C++0x.

I have asked Sven to post the solution here so that I can accept it, but in the meantime I'd like to post the code myself for reference. (Update: Sven has now posted his code below, which I made the accepted answer. My own code uses container type traits, which work for me but may cause unexpected behaviour with non-container classes that provide iterators.)

Further ideas for improvements:

• Implement output for std::tuple<...> in the same way is we have it for std::pair<S,T>. Update: This is now a separate question on SO! Upupdate: This has now been implemented, thanks to Xeo!
• Add namespaces so that the helper classes don't bleed into the global namespace. Done
• 添加模板别名(或类似的东西)以便于制作自定义分隔符类,或者可能是预处理器宏？

最近更新:

• 我删除了自定义输出迭代器,转而使用print函数中的简单for循环.
• 所有实现细节现在都在pretty_print命名空间中.只有全局流操作符和pretty_print_array包装器位于全局命名空间中.
• 修复了命名空间,以便operator<<现在正确使用std.

笔记:

• 删除输出迭代器意味着无法使用std::copy()来进行漂亮的打印.如果这是一个理想的功能,我可能会恢复漂亮的迭代器,但下面的Sven代码有实现.
• 这是一个有意识的设计决策,使分隔符编译时常量而不是对象常量.这意味着您无法在运行时动态提供分隔符,但这也意味着没有不必要的开销.Dennis Zickefoose在下面对Sven的代码的评论中提出了一种基于对象的分隔符配置.如果需要,这可以作为替代功能实现.
• 目前尚不清楚如何自定义嵌套容器分隔符.
• 请记住,此库的目的是允许快速容器打印设施,您需要零编码.它不是一个通用的格式化库,而是一个开发工具,以减少编写用于容器检查的样板代码的需要.

谢谢所有贡献的人!

注意:如果您正在寻找一种快速部署自定义分隔符的方法,这里有一种使用类型擦除的方法.我们假设你已经构建了一个分隔符类,比如说MyDel:

struct MyDel { static const pretty_print::delimiters_values<char> values; };
const pretty_print::delimiters_values<char> MyDel::values = { "<", "; ", ">" };

现在我们希望能够使用这些分隔符std::cout << MyPrinter(v) << std::endl;为某个容器编写代码v.MyPrinter将是一个类型擦除类,如下所示:

struct wrapper_base
{
  virtual ~wrapper_base() { }
  virtual std::ostream & stream(std::ostream & o) = 0;
};

template <typename T, typename Delims>
struct wrapper : public wrapper_base
{
  wrapper(const T & t) : t(t) { }
  std::ostream & stream(std::ostream & o)
  {
    return o << pretty_print::print_container_helper<T, char, std::char_traits<char>, Delims>(t);
  }
private:
  const T & t;
};

template <typename Delims>
struct MyPrinter
{
  template <typename Container> MyPrinter(const Container & c) : base(new wrapper<Container, Delims>(c)) { }
  ~MyPrinter() { delete base; }
  wrapper_base * base;
};

template <typename Delims>
std::ostream & operator<<(std::ostream & o, const MyPrinter<Delims> & p) { return p.base->stream(o); }

与Marcelo的版本一样,它使用is_container类型特征,该特征必须专用于所有要支持的容器.它可能会使用特点来检查value_type,const_iterator,begin()/ end(),但我不知道我建议,因为它可能匹配匹配这些标准,但实际上不是容器,喜欢的东西std::basic_string.与Marcelo的版本一样,它使用专门用于指定要使用的分隔符的模板.

主要区别在于我已经围绕a构建了我的版本pretty_ostream_iterator,其工作方式类似于std::ostream_iterator但不会在最后一项之后打印分隔符.格式化容器是通过print_container_helper,可以直接用于打印没有is_container特征的容器,或指定不同的分隔符类型.

我还定义了is_container和delimiters,因此它适用于具有非标准谓词或分配器的容器,以及char和wchar_t.operator <<函数本身也被定义为使用char和wchar_t流.

最后,我使用过std::enable_if,它可以作为C++ 0x的一部分使用,并且可以在Visual C++ 2010和g ++ 4.3(需要-std = c ++ 0x标志)和更高版本中使用.这种方式不依赖于Boost.

Answer 2

这已被编辑了几次,我们决定调用包装集合RangePrinter的主类

一旦您编写了一次性操作符<< overload,这将自动与任何集合一起工作,除了您需要一个特殊的地图来打印该对,并且可能想要在那里自定义分隔符.

您还可以在项目上使用特殊的"打印"功能,而不是直接输出.有点像STL算法允许您传递自定义谓词.使用map,您可以使用这种方式,使用std :: pair的自定义打印机.

您的"默认"打印机只会将其输出到流.

好吧,让我们使用自定义打印机.我将我的外部类更改为RangePrinter.所以我们有2个迭代器和一些分隔符,但没有自定义如何打印实际项目.

struct DefaultPrinter
{
   template< typename T >
   std::ostream & operator()( std::ostream& os, const T& t ) const
   {
     return os << t;
   }

   // overload for std::pair
   template< typename K, typename V >
   std::ostream & operator()( std::ostream & os, std::pair<K,V> const& p)
   {
      return os << p.first << '=' << p.second;
   }
};

// some prototypes
template< typename FwdIter, typename Printer > class RangePrinter;

template< typename FwdIter, typename Printer > 
  std::ostream & operator<<( std::ostream &, 
        RangePrinter<FwdIter, Printer> const& );

template< typename FwdIter, typename Printer=DefaultPrinter >
class RangePrinter
{
    FwdIter begin;
    FwdIter end;
    std::string delim;
    std::string open;
    std::string close;
    Printer printer;

    friend std::ostream& operator<< <>( std::ostream&, 
         RangePrinter<FwdIter,Printer> const& );

public:
    RangePrinter( FwdIter b, FwdIter e, Printer p,
         std::string const& d, std::string const & o, std::string const& c )
      : begin( b ), end( e ), printer( p ), open( o ), close( c )
    {
    } 

     // with no "printer" variable
    RangePrinter( FwdIter b, FwdIter e,
         std::string const& d, std::string const & o, std::string const& c )
      : begin( b ), end( e ), open( o ), close( c )
    {
    } 

};


template<typename FwdIter, typename Printer>
std::ostream& operator<<( std::ostream& os, 
          RangePrinter<FwdIter, Printer> const& range )
{
    const Printer & printer = range.printer;

    os << range.open;
    FwdIter begin = range.begin, end = range.end;

    // print the first item
    if (begin == end) 
    { 
      return os << range.close; 
    }

    printer( os, *begin );

    // print the rest with delim as a prefix
    for( ++begin; begin != end; ++begin )
    {
       os << range.delim;
       printer( os, *begin );
    }
    return os << range.close;
}

现在默认情况下它只适用于地图,只要键和值类型都是可打印的,你可以放入你自己的特殊项目打印机,当它们不是(你可以使用任何其他类型),或者如果你不想要=作为分隔符.

我正在移动自由函数来创建这些到现在为止:

一个自由函数(迭代器版本)看起来像这样,你甚至可以有默认值:

template<typename Collection>
RangePrinter<typename Collection::const_iterator> rangePrinter
    ( const Collection& coll, const char * delim=",", 
       const char * open="[", const char * close="]")
{
   return RangePrinter< typename Collection::const_iterator >
     ( coll.begin(), coll.end(), delim, open, close );
}

然后你可以将它用于std :: set by

 std::cout << outputFormatter( mySet );

您还可以编写采用自定义打印机的自由功能版本和采用两个迭代器的自由功能版本.在任何情况下,他们都会为您解析模板参数,您将能够将它们作为临时传递.

Answer 3

这是一个工作库,作为一个完整的工作程序呈现,我刚刚一起攻击:

#include <set>
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>

#include <boost/utility/enable_if.hpp>

// Default delimiters
template <class C> struct Delims { static const char *delim[3]; };
template <class C> const char *Delims<C>::delim[3]={"[", ", ", "]"};
// Special delimiters for sets.                                                                                                             
template <typename T> struct Delims< std::set<T> > { static const char *delim[3]; };
template <typename T> const char *Delims< std::set<T> >::delim[3]={"{", ", ", "}"};

template <class C> struct IsContainer { enum { value = false }; };
template <typename T> struct IsContainer< std::vector<T> > { enum { value = true }; };
template <typename T> struct IsContainer< std::set<T>    > { enum { value = true }; };

template <class C>
typename boost::enable_if<IsContainer<C>, std::ostream&>::type
operator<<(std::ostream & o, const C & x)
{
  o << Delims<C>::delim[0];
  for (typename C::const_iterator i = x.begin(); i != x.end(); ++i)
    {
      if (i != x.begin()) o << Delims<C>::delim[1];
      o << *i;
    }
  o << Delims<C>::delim[2];
  return o;
}

template <typename T> struct IsChar { enum { value = false }; };
template <> struct IsChar<char> { enum { value = true }; };

template <typename T, int N>
typename boost::disable_if<IsChar<T>, std::ostream&>::type
operator<<(std::ostream & o, const T (&x)[N])
{
  o << "[";
  for (int i = 0; i != N; ++i)
    {
      if (i) o << ",";
      o << x[i];
    }
  o << "]";
  return o;
}

int main()
{
  std::vector<int> i;
  i.push_back(23);
  i.push_back(34);

  std::set<std::string> j;
  j.insert("hello");
  j.insert("world");

  double k[] = { 1.1, 2.2, M_PI, -1.0/123.0 };

  std::cout << i << "\n" << j << "\n" << k << "\n";
}

它目前仅适用于vector和set,但可以使用大多数容器,只需扩展IsContainer专业化.我没有想过这个代码是否是最小的,但我不能立即想到任何我可以删除的冗余.

编辑:只是为了踢,我包括一个处理数组的版本.我不得不排除char数组以避免进一步的模糊; 它可能仍会遇到麻烦wchar_t[].

Answer 4

您可以使用{fmt}库来格式化容器以及范围和元组。例如：

#include <vector>
#include <fmt/ranges.h>

int main() {
  auto v = std::vector<int>{1, 2, 3};
  fmt::print("{}", v);
}

版画

{1, 2, 3}

到stdout。

免责声明：我是{fmt}的作者。

Answer 5

现在,这些代码在几个方面被证明是方便的,我觉得进入自定义的费用很低.因此,我决定在MIT许可下发布它,并提供一个GitHub存储库,其中可以下载标题和一个小示例文件.

http://djmuw.github.io/prettycc

0.前言和措辞

一个"装饰"在这个答案的方面是一组前缀字符串,分隔字符串,以及后缀串的.前缀字符串插入到流之前和后缀字符串之后的容器值(请参阅2.目标容器).分隔符字符串插入相应容器的值之间.

注意:实际上,这个答案没有解决100%的问题,因为装饰不是严格编译的时间常数,因为需要运行时检查来检查自定义装饰是否已应用于当前流. 不过,我认为它有一些不错的功能.

注2:可能有小错误,因为它尚未经过良好测试.

1.一般想法/用法

使用所需的零附加代码

它应该像保持一样简单

#include <vector>
#include "pretty.h"

int main()
{
  std::cout << std::vector<int>{1,2,3,4,5}; // prints 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
  return 0;
}

轻松定制......

...关于特定流对象

#include <vector>
#include "pretty.h"

int main()
{
  // set decoration for std::vector<int> for cout object
  std::cout << pretty::decoration<std::vector<int>>("(", ",", ")");
  std::cout << std::vector<int>{1,2,3,4,5}; // prints (1,2,3,4,5)
  return 0;
}

或关于所有流:

#include <vector>
#include "pretty.h"

// set decoration for std::vector<int> for all ostream objects
PRETTY_DEFAULT_DECORATION(std::vector<int>, "{", ", ", "}")

int main()
{
  std::cout << std::vector<int>{1,2,3,4,5}; // prints {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
  std::cout << pretty::decoration<std::vector<int>>("(", ",", ")");
  std::cout << std::vector<int>{1,2,3,4,5}; // prints (1,2,3,4,5)
  return 0;
}

粗略的描述

• 该代码包括一个类模板,为任何类型提供默认装饰
• 它可以专门用于更改(a)某些类型的默认装饰,它是
• 使用所提供的私有存储ios_base使用xalloc/ pword以便指针保存到pretty::decor对象特别装饰上的特定流某一类型.

如果没有pretty::decor<T>显式设置此流的对象,pretty::defaulted<T, charT, chartraitT>::decoration()则调用此方法以获取给定类型的默认装饰.该类pretty::defaulted将专门用于自定义默认装饰.

2.目标对象/容器

此代码obj的"漂亮装饰"的目标对象是具有其中任何一个的对象

• 重载std::begin和std::end定义(包括C风格数组),
• 具有begin(obj)与end(obj)通过ADL可用,
• 是类型的 std::tuple
• 或类型std::pair.

该代码包括用于识别具有范围特征(begin/ end)的类的特征.(但是没有包括检查,是否begin(obj) == end(obj)是一个有效的表达式.)

该代码operator<<在全局命名空间中提供s,仅适用于没有更专业版operator<<可用的类.因此,例如std::string,虽然具有有效begin/ end对,但是在该代码中不使用操作符打印.

3.利用和定制

可以为每种类型(除了不同的tuples)和流(不是流类型!)单独强加装饰.(即std::vector<int>不同的流对象可以有不同的装饰.)

A)默认装饰

默认前缀是""(无),默认后缀是默认前缀,而默认前缀是", "(逗号+空格).

B)通过专门化pretty::defaulted类模板来定制类型的默认装饰

在struct defaulted具有静态成员函数decoration()返回一个decor对象,其包括用于给定类型的默认值.

使用数组的示例:

自定义默认阵列打印:

namespace pretty
{
  template<class T, std::size_t N>
  struct defaulted<T[N]>
  {
    static decor<T[N]> decoration()
    {
      return{ { "(" }, { ":" }, { ")" } };
    }
  };
}

打印arry数组:

float e[5] = { 3.4f, 4.3f, 5.2f, 1.1f, 22.2f };
std::cout << e << '\n'; // prints (3.4:4.3:5.2:1.1:22.2)

将流PRETTY_DEFAULT_DECORATION(TYPE, PREFIX, DELIM, POSTFIX, ...)用于宏char

宏扩展到

namespace pretty { 
  template< __VA_ARGS__ >
  struct defaulted< TYPE > {
    static decor< TYPE > decoration() {
      return { PREFIX, DELIM, POSTFIX };
    } 
  }; 
} 

使上述部分专业化能够被重写

PRETTY_DEFAULT_DECORATION(T[N], "", ";", "", class T, std::size_t N)

或插入完整的专业化

PRETTY_DEFAULT_DECORATION(std::vector<int>, "(", ", ", ")")

wchar_t流的另一个宏包括:PRETTY_DEFAULT_WDECORATION.

C)在溪流上施加装饰

该函数pretty::decoration用于在某个流上强加装饰.有一些重载 - 一个字符串参数是分隔符(从默认类中采用前缀和后缀) - 或三个字符串参数组合完整的装饰

给定类型和流的完整装饰

float e[3] = { 3.4f, 4.3f, 5.2f };
std::stringstream u;
// add { ; } decoration to u
u << pretty::decoration<float[3]>("{", "; ", "}");

// use { ; } decoration
u << e << '\n'; // prints {3.4; 4.3; 5.2}

// uses decoration returned by defaulted<float[3]>::decoration()
std::cout << e; // prints 3.4, 4.3, 5.2

定制给定流的分隔符

PRETTY_DEFAULT_DECORATION(float[3], "{{{", ",", "}}}")

std::stringstream v;
v << e; // prints {{{3.4,4.3,5.2}}}

v << pretty::decoration<float[3]>(":");
v << e; // prints {{{3.4:4.3:5.2}}}

v << pretty::decoration<float[3]>("((", "=", "))");
v << e; // prints ((3.4=4.3=5.2))

4.特殊处理 std::tuple

此代码不是允许对每个可能的元组类型进行专门化,而是将所有可用的装饰应用于std::tuple<void*>所有类型的std::tuple<...>s.

5.从流中删除自定义装饰

要返回给定类型的默认装饰,请使用pretty::clear流上的功能模板s.

s << pretty::clear<std::vector<int>>();

5.进一步的例子

使用换行符分隔符打印"矩阵状"

std::vector<std::vector<int>> m{ {1,2,3}, {4,5,6}, {7,8,9} };
std::cout << pretty::decoration<std::vector<std::vector<int>>>("\n");
std::cout << m;

打印

1, 2, 3
4, 5, 6
7, 8, 9
