(4) (since C++20)

Format arguments held by args according to the format string fmt, and write the result to the output iterator out. If present, loc is used for locale-specific formatting.

Let CharT be decltype(fmt)::char_type (char for overloads (1,3), wchar_t for overloads (2,4)).

These overloads participate in overload resolution only if OutputIt satisfies the concept std::output_iterator<const CharT&>.

OutputIt must model (meet the semantic requirements of) the concept std::output_iterator<const CharT&>, and std::formatter<Ti, CharT> must meet the Formatter requirements for any Ti in the type of arguments. Otherwise, the behavior is undefined.

Contents

[edit] Parameters

out - iterator to the output buffer
fmt - an object that represents the format string. The format string consists of
  • ordinary characters (except { and }), which are copied unchanged to the output,
  • escape sequences {{ and }}, which are replaced with { and } respectively in the output, and
  • replacement fields.

Each replacement field has the following format:

{ arg-id (optional) } (1)
{ arg-id (optional) : format-spec } (2)
1) replacement field without a format specification
2) replacement field with a format specification
arg-id - specifies the index of the argument in args whose value is to be used for formatting; if it is omitted, the arguments are used in order.

The arg-id s in a format string must all be present or all be omitted. Mixing manual and automatic indexing is an error.

format-spec - the format specification defined by the std::formatter specialization for the corresponding argument. Cannot start with }.

(since C++23)
(since C++26)
  • For other formattable types, the format specification is determined by user-defined formatter specializations.
args - arguments to be formatted
loc - std::locale used for locale-specific formatting

[edit] Return value

Iterator past the end of the output range.

[edit] Exceptions

Throws std::format_error if fmt is not a valid format string for the provided arguments. Also propagates any exception thrown by formatter or iterator operations.

[edit] Example

[edit] Defect reports

The following behavior-changing defect reports were applied retroactively to previously published C++ standards.

DR Applied to Behavior as published Correct behavior
P2216R3 C++20 type of args is parameterized on OutputIt not parameterized
