format_as
work with any user-defined type and not just enums. For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/format.h> struct floaty_mc_floatface { double value; }; auto format_as(floaty_mc_floatface f) { return f.value; } int main() { fmt::print("{:8}\n", floaty_mc_floatface{0.42}); // prints " 0.42" }
-
Removed deprecated implicit conversions for enums and conversions to primitive types for compatibility with
std::format
and to prevent potential ODR violations. Useformat_as
instead. -
Added support for fill, align and width to the time point formatter (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/3237, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3260, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3275). For example (godbolt):

9.1.0 - 2022-08-27
-
fmt::formatted_size
now works at compile time (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/3026). For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/compile.h> int main() { using namespace fmt::literals; constexpr size_t n = fmt::formatted_size("{}"_cf, 42); fmt::print("{}\n", n); // prints 2 }
Thanks @marksantaniello.

Added the
n
specifier that disables the output of delimiters when formatting ranges (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2981, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2983). For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/ranges.h> #include <vector> int main() { auto v = std::vector{1, 2, 3}; fmt::print("{:n}\n", v); // prints 1, 2, 3 }
Thanks @BRevzin.

9.0.0 - 2022-07-04
-
Switched to the internal floating point formatter for all decimal presentation formats. In particular this results in consistent rounding on all platforms and removing the
s[n]printf
fallback for decimal FP formatting. -
Compile-time floating point formatting no longer requires the header-only mode. For example (godbolt):
#include <array> #include <fmt/compile.h> consteval auto compile_time_dtoa(double value) -> std::array<char, 10> { auto result = std::array<char, 10>(); fmt::format_to(result.data(), FMT_COMPILE("{}"), value); return result; } constexpr auto answer = compile_time_dtoa(0.42);
works with the default settings.
-
Improved the implementation of Dragonbox, the algorithm used for the default floating-point formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2713, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2750). Thanks @jk-jeon.
-
Made
fmt::to_string
work with__float128
. This uses the internal FP formatter and works even on system without__float128
support in[s]printf
. -
Disabled automatic
std::ostream
insertion operator (operator<<
) discovery whenfmt/ostream.h
is included to prevent ODR violations. You can get the old behavior by definingFMT_DEPRECATED_OSTREAM
but this will be removed in the next major release. Usefmt::streamed
orfmt::ostream_formatter
to enable formatting viastd::ostream
instead. -
Added
fmt::ostream_formatter
that can be used to writeformatter
specializations that perform formatting viastd::ostream
. For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/ostream.h> struct date { int year, month, day; friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const date& d) { return os << d.year << '-' << d.month << '-' << d.day; } }; template <> struct fmt::formatter<date> : ostream_formatter {}; std::string s = fmt::format("The date is {}", date{2012, 12, 9}); // s == "The date is 2012-12-9"
-
Added the
fmt::streamed
function that takes an object and formats it viastd::ostream
. For example (godbolt):#include <thread> #include <fmt/ostream.h> int main() { fmt::print("Current thread id: {}\n", fmt::streamed(std::this_thread::get_id())); }
Note that
fmt/std.h
provides aformatter
specialization forstd::thread::id
so you don't need to format it viastd::ostream
. -
Deprecated implicit conversions of unscoped enums to integers for consistency with scoped enums.
-
Added an argument-dependent lookup based
format_as
extension API to simplify formatting of enums. -
Added experimental
std::variant
formatting support (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2941). For example (godbolt):#include <variant> #include <fmt/std.h> int main() { auto v = std::variant<int, std::string>(42); fmt::print("{}\n", v); }
prints:
variant(42)
Thanks @jehelset.
-
Added experimental
std::filesystem::path
formatting support (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2865, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2902, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2917, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2918). For example (godbolt):#include <filesystem> #include <fmt/std.h> int main() { fmt::print("There is no place like {}.", std::filesystem::path("/home")); }
prints:
There is no place like "/home".
Thanks @phprus.
-
Added a
std::thread::id
formatter tofmt/std.h
. For example (godbolt):#include <thread> #include <fmt/std.h> int main() { fmt::print("Current thread id: {}\n", std::this_thread::get_id()); }
-
Added
fmt::styled
that applies a text style to an individual argument (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2793). For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/chrono.h> #include <fmt/color.h> int main() { auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now(); fmt::print( "[{}] {}: {}\n", fmt::styled(now, fmt::emphasis::bold), fmt::styled("error", fg(fmt::color::red)), "something went wrong"); }
prints
Thanks @rbrugo.
-
Made
fmt::print
overload for text styles correctly handle UTF-8 (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2681, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2701). Thanks @AlexGuteniev. -
Fixed Unicode handling when writing to an ostream.
-
Added support for nested specifiers to range formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2673). For example (godbolt):
#include <vector> #include <fmt/ranges.h> int main() { fmt::print("{::#x}\n", std::vector{10, 20, 30}); }
prints
[0xa, 0x14, 0x1e]
.Thanks @BRevzin.
-

begin
/end
found via the argument-dependent lookup (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2807). Thanks @rbrugo. -

-
Fixed handling of maps with element types other than
std::pair
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2944). Thanks @BrukerJWD. -
Made tuple formatter enabled only if elements are formattable (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2939, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2940). Thanks @jehelset.
-
Made
fmt::join
compatible with format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2719, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2720). Thanks @phprus. -
Made compile-time checks work with named arguments of custom types and
std::ostream
print
overloads (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2816, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2817, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2819). Thanks @timsong-cpp. -
Removed
make_args_checked
because it is no longer needed for compile-time checks (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2760). Thanks @phprus. -
Removed the following deprecated APIs:
_format
,arg_join
, theformat_to
overload that takes a memory buffer,[v]fprintf
that takes anostream
. -
Removed the deprecated implicit conversion of
[const] signed char*
and[const] unsigned char*
to C strings. -
Removed the deprecated
fmt/locale.h
. -
Replaced the deprecated
fileno()
withdescriptor()
inbuffered_file
. -
Moved
to_string_view
to thedetail
namespace since it's an implementation detail. -
Made access mode of a created file consistent with
fopen
by settingS_IWGRP
andS_IWOTH
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2733). Thanks @arogge. -
Removed a redundant buffer resize when formatting to
std::ostream
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2842, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2843). Thanks @jcelerier. -
Made precision computation for strings consistent with width (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2888).

8.1.0 - 2022-01-02
-
Optimized chrono formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2500, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2537, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2541, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2544, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2550, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2551, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2576, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2577, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2586, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2591, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2594, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2602, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2617, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2628, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2633, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2670, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2671).
Processing of some specifiers such as
%z
and%Y
is now up to 10-20 times faster, for example on GCC 11 with libstdc++:---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benchmark Before After ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FMTFormatter_z 261 ns 26.3 ns FMTFormatterCompile_z 246 ns 11.6 ns FMTFormatter_Y 263 ns 26.1 ns FMTFormatterCompile_Y 244 ns 10.5 ns ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks @phprus and @toughengineer.
-
Implemented subsecond formatting for chrono durations (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2623). For example (godbolt):
#include <fmt/chrono.h> int main() { fmt::print("{:%S}", std::chrono::milliseconds(1234)); }
prints "01.234".
Thanks @matrackif.
-
Fixed handling of precision 0 when formatting chrono durations (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2587, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2588). Thanks @lukester1975.
-
Fixed an overflow on invalid inputs in the
tm
formatter (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2564). Thanks @phprus. -
Added
fmt::group_digits
that formats integers with a non-localized digit separator (comma) for groups of three digits. For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/format.h> int main() { fmt::print("{} dollars", fmt::group_digits(1000000)); }
prints "1,000,000 dollars".
-
Added support for faint, conceal, reverse and blink text styles (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2394):
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/576385/147710227-c68f5317-f8fa-42c3-9123-7c4ba3c398cb.mp4
Thanks @benit8 and @data-man.
-
Added experimental support for compile-time floating point formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2426, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2470). It is currently limited to the header-only mode. Thanks @alexezeder.
-
Added UDL-based named argument support to compile-time format string checks (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2640, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2649). For example (godbolt):
#include <fmt/format.h> int main() { using namespace fmt::literals; fmt::print("{answer:s}", "answer"_a=42); }
gives a compile-time error on compilers with C++20
consteval
and non-type template parameter support (gcc 10+) becauses
is not a valid format specifier for an integer.Thanks @alexezeder.
-
Implemented escaping of string range elements. For example (godbolt):
#include <fmt/ranges.h> #include <vector> int main() { fmt::print("{}", std::vector<std::string>{"\naan"}); }
is now printed as:
["\naan"]
instead of:
[" aan"]
-
Added an experimental
?
specifier for escaping strings. (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2674). Thanks @BRevzin. -
Switched to JSON-like representation of maps and sets for consistency with Python's
str.format
. For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/ranges.h> #include <map> int main() { fmt::print("{}", std::map<std::string, int>{{"answer", 42}}); }
is now printed as:
{"answer": 42}
-
Extended
fmt::join
to support C++20-only ranges (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2549). Thanks @BRevzin. -
Optimized handling of non-const-iterable ranges and implemented initial support for non-const-formattable types.
-
Disabled implicit conversions of scoped enums to integers that was accidentally introduced in earlier versions (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1841).
-
Deprecated implicit conversion of
[const] signed char*
and[const] unsigned char*
to C strings. -
Deprecated
_format
, a legacy UDL-based format API (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2646). Thanks @alexezeder. -
Marked
format
,formatted_size
andto_string
as[[nodiscard]]
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2612). @0x8000-0000. -
Added missing diagnostic when trying to format function and member pointers as well as objects convertible to pointers which is explicitly disallowed (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2598, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2609, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2610). Thanks @AlexGuteniev.
-
Optimized writing to a contiguous buffer with
format_to_n
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2489). Thanks @Roman-Koshelev. -
Optimized writing to non-
char
buffers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2477). Thanks @Roman-Koshelev. -
Decimal point is now localized when using the
L
specifier. -
Improved floating point formatter implementation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2498, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2499). Thanks @Roman-Koshelev.
-
Fixed handling of very large precision in fixed format (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2616).
-
Made a table of cached powers used in FP formatting static (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2509). Thanks @jk-jeon.
-

-
Removed unnecessary inline namespace qualification (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2642, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2643). Thanks @mkurdej.
-
Implemented argument forwarding in
format_to_n
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2462, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2463). Thanks @owent. -
Fixed handling of implicit conversions in
fmt::to_string
and format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2565). -

-
Added the
FMT_SYSTEM_HEADERS

8.0.1 - 2021-07-02
- Fixed the version number in the inline namespace (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2374).
- Added a missing presentation type check for
std::string
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2402). - Fixed a linkage error when mixing code built with clang and gcc (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2377).
- Fixed documentation issues (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2396, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2403, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2406). Thanks @mkurdej.
- Removed dead code in FP formatter ( https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2398). Thanks @javierhonduco.
- Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2351, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2359, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2365, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2368, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2370, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2376, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2381, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2382, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2386, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2389, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2395, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2397, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2400, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2401, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2407).

8.0.0 - 2021-06-21
-
Enabled compile-time format string checks by default. For example (godbolt):
#include <fmt/core.h> int main() { fmt::print("{:d}", "I am not a number"); }
gives a compile-time error on compilers with C++20
consteval
support (gcc 10+, clang 11+) becaused
is not a valid format specifier for a string.To pass a runtime string wrap it in
fmt::runtime
:fmt::print(fmt::runtime("{:d}"), "I am not a number");
-
Added compile-time formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2019, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2044, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2056, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2072, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2075, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2078, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2129, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2326). For example (godbolt):
#include <fmt/compile.h> consteval auto compile_time_itoa(int value) -> std::array<char, 10> { auto result = std::array<char, 10>(); fmt::format_to(result.data(), FMT_COMPILE("{}"), value); return result; } constexpr auto answer = compile_time_itoa(42);
Most of the formatting functionality is available at compile time with a notable exception of floating-point numbers and pointers. Thanks @alexezeder.
-
Optimized handling of format specifiers during format string compilation. For example, hexadecimal formatting (
"{:x}"
) is now 3-7x faster than before when usingformat_to
with format string compilation and a stack-allocated buffer (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1944).Before (7.1.3):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benchmark Time CPU Iterations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FMTCompileOld/0 15.5 ns 15.5 ns 43302898 FMTCompileOld/42 16.6 ns 16.6 ns 43278267 FMTCompileOld/273123 18.7 ns 18.6 ns 37035861 FMTCompileOld/9223372036854775807 19.4 ns 19.4 ns 35243000 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After (8.x):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benchmark Time CPU Iterations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FMTCompileNew/0 1.99 ns 1.99 ns 360523686 FMTCompileNew/42 2.33 ns 2.33 ns 279865664 FMTCompileNew/273123 3.72 ns 3.71 ns 190230315 FMTCompileNew/9223372036854775807 5.28 ns 5.26 ns 130711631 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is even faster than
std::to_chars
from libc++ compiled with clang on macOS:---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benchmark Time CPU Iterations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ToChars/0 4.42 ns 4.41 ns 160196630 ToChars/42 5.00 ns 4.98 ns 140735201 ToChars/273123 7.26 ns 7.24 ns 95784130 ToChars/9223372036854775807 8.77 ns 8.75 ns 75872534 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In other cases, especially involving
std::string
construction, the speed up is usually lower because handling format specifiers takes a smaller fraction of the total time. -
Added the
_cf
user-defined literal to represent a compiled format string. It can be used instead of theFMT_COMPILE
macro (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2043, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2242):#include <fmt/compile.h> using namespace fmt::literals; auto s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE("{}"), 42); // 🙁 not modern auto s = fmt::format("{}"_cf, 42); // 🙂 modern as hell
It requires compiler support for class types in non-type template parameters (a C++20 feature) which is available in GCC 9.3+. Thanks @alexezeder.
-
Format string compilation now requires
format
functions offormatter
specializations for user-defined types to beconst
:template <> struct fmt::formatter<my_type>: formatter<string_view> { template <typename FormatContext> auto format(my_type obj, FormatContext& ctx) const { // Note const here. // ... } };
-
Added UDL-based named argument support to format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2243, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2281). For example:
#include <fmt/compile.h> using namespace fmt::literals; auto s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE("{answer}"), "answer"_a = 42);
Here the argument named "answer" is resolved at compile time with no runtime overhead. Thanks @alexezeder.
-
Added format string compilation support to
fmt::print
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2280, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2304). Thanks @alexezeder. -
Added initial support for compiling {fmt} as a C++20 module (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2235, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2240, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2260, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2282, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2283, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2288, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2298, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2306, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2307, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2309, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2318, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2324, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2332, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2340). Thanks @DanielaE.
-
Made symbols private by default reducing shared library size (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2301). For example there was a ~15% reported reduction on one platform. Thanks @sergiud.
-
Optimized includes making the result of preprocessing
fmt/format.h
~20% smaller with libstdc++/C++20 and slightly improving build times (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1998). -
Added support of ranges with non-const
begin
/end
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1953). Thanks @kitegi. -
Added support of
std::byte
and other formattable types tofmt::join
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1981, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2040, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2050, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2262). For example:#include <fmt/format.h> #include <cstddef> #include <vector> int main() { auto bytes = std::vector{std::byte(4), std::byte(2)}; fmt::print("{}", fmt::join(bytes, "")); }
prints "42".
Thanks @kamibo.
-
Implemented the default format for
std::chrono::system_clock
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2319, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2345). For example:#include <fmt/chrono.h> int main() { fmt::print("{}", std::chrono::system_clock::now()); }
prints "2021-06-18 15:22:00" (the output depends on the current date and time). Thanks @sunmy2019.
-
Made more chrono specifiers locale independent by default. Use the
'L'
specifier to get localized formatting. For example:#include <fmt/chrono.h> int main() { std::locale::global(std::locale("ru_RU.UTF-8")); auto monday = std::chrono::weekday(1); fmt::print("{}\n", monday); // prints "Mon" fmt::print("{:L}\n", monday); // prints "пн" }
-
Improved locale handling in chrono formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2337, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2349, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2350). Thanks @phprus.
-
Deprecated
fmt/locale.h
moving the formatting functions that take a locale tofmt/format.h
(char
) andfmt/xchar
(other overloads). This doesn't introduce a dependency on<locale>
so there is virtually no compile time effect. -
Deprecated an undocumented
format_to
overload that takesbasic_memory_buffer
. -
Made parameter order in
vformat_to
consistent withformat_to
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2327). -
Added support for time points with arbitrary durations (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2208). For example:
#include <fmt/chrono.h> int main() { using tp = std::chrono::time_point< std::chrono::system_clock, std::chrono::seconds>; fmt::print("{:%S}", tp(std::chrono::seconds(42))); }
prints "42".
-
Formatting floating-point numbers no longer produces trailing zeros by default for consistency with
std::format
. For example:#include <fmt/core.h> int main() { fmt::print("{0:.3}", 1.1); }
prints "1.1". Use the
'#'
specifier to keep trailing zeros. -
Dropped a limit on the number of elements in a range and replaced
{}
with[]
as range delimiters for consistency with Python'sstr.format
. -
The
'L'
specifier for locale-specific numeric formatting can now be combined with presentation specifiers as instd::format
. For example:#include <fmt/core.h> #include <locale> int main() { std::locale::global(std::locale("fr_FR.UTF-8")); fmt::print("{0:.2Lf}", 0.42); }
prints "0,42". The deprecated
'n'
specifier has been removed. -
Made the
0
specifier ignored for infinity and NaN (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2305, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2310). Thanks @Liedtke. -
Made the hexfloat formatting use the right alignment by default (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2308, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2317). Thanks @Liedtke.
-
Removed the deprecated numeric alignment (
'='
). Use the'0'
specifier instead. -
Removed the deprecated
fmt/posix.h
header that has been replaced withfmt/os.h
. -
Removed the deprecated
format_to_n_context
,format_to_n_args
andmake_format_to_n_args
. They have been replaced withformat_context
,format_args` and
make_format_args`` respectively. -
Moved
wchar_t
-specific functions and types tofmt/xchar.h
. You can defineFMT_DEPRECATED_INCLUDE_XCHAR
to automatically includefmt/xchar.h
fromfmt/format.h
but this will be disabled in the next major release. -
Fixed handling of the
'+'
specifier in localized formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2133). -
Added support for the
's'
format specifier that gives textual representation ofbool
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2094, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2109). For example:#include <fmt/core.h> int main() { fmt::print("{:s}", true); }
prints "true". Thanks @powercoderlol.
-
Made
fmt::ptr
work with function pointers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2131). For example:#include <fmt/format.h> int main() { fmt::print("My main: {}\n", fmt::ptr(main)); }
Thanks @mikecrowe.
-
The undocumented support for specializing
formatter
for pointer types has been removed. -
Fixed
fmt::formatted_size
with format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2141, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2161). Thanks @alexezeder. -
Fixed handling of empty format strings during format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2042):
auto s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE(""));
Thanks @alexezeder.
-
Fixed handling of enums in
fmt::to_string
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2036). -
Improved width computation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2033, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2091). For example:
#include <fmt/core.h> int main() { fmt::print("{:-<10}{}\n", "你好", "世界"); fmt::print("{:-<10}{}\n", "hello", "world"); }
prints
on a modern terminal.
-
The experimental fast output stream (
fmt::ostream
) is now truncated by default for consistency withfopen
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2018). For example:#include <fmt/os.h> int main() { fmt::ostream out1 = fmt::output_file("guide"); out1.print("Zaphod"); out1.close(); fmt::ostream out2 = fmt::output_file("guide"); out2.print("Ford"); }
writes "Ford" to the file "guide". To preserve the old file content if any pass
fmt::file::WRONLY | fmt::file::CREATE
flags tofmt::output_file
. -
Fixed moving of
fmt::ostream
that holds buffered data (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2197, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2198). Thanks @vtta. -
Replaced the
fmt::system_error
exception with a function of the same name that constructsstd::system_error
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2266). -
Replaced the
fmt::windows_error
exception with a function of the same name that constructsstd::system_error
with the category returned byfmt::system_category()
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2274, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2275). The latter is similar tostd::system_category
but correctly handles UTF-8. Thanks @phprus. -
Replaced
fmt::error_code
withstd::error_code
and made it formattable (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2269, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2270, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2273). Thanks @phprus. -
Added speech synthesis support (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2206).
-
Made
format_to
work with a memory buffer that has a custom allocator (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2300). Thanks @voxmea. -
Added
Allocator::max_size
support tobasic_memory_buffer
. (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1960). Thanks @phprus. -
Added wide string support to
fmt::join
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2236). Thanks @crbrz. -
Made iterators passed to
formatter
specializations via a format context satisfy C++20std::output_iterator
requirements (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2156, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2158, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2195, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2204). Thanks @randomnetcat. -
Optimized the
printf
implementation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1982, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1984, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2016, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2164). Thanks @rimathia and @moiwi. -
Improved detection of
constexpr
char_traits
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2246, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2257). Thanks @phprus. -
Fixed writing to
stdout
when it is redirected toNUL
on Windows (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2080). -
Fixed exception propagation from iterators (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2097).
-
Improved
strftime
error handling (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2238, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2244). Thanks @yumeyao. -
Stopped using deprecated GCC UDL template extension.
-
Added
fmt/args.h
to the install target (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2096). -
Error messages are now passed to assert when exceptions are disabled (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2145). Thanks @NobodyXu.
-
Added the
FMT_MASTER_PROJECT
CMake option to control build and install targets when {fmt} is included viaadd_subdirectory
(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2098, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2100). Thanks @randomizedthinking. -
Improved build configuration (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2026, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2122). Thanks @luncliff and @ibaned.
-
Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1947, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1959, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1963, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1965, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1966, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1974, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1975, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1990, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2000, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2001, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2002, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2004, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2006, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2009, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2010, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2038, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2039, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2047, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2053, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2059, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2065, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2067, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2068, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2073, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2103, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2105, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2106, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2107, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2116, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2117, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2118, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2119, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2127, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2128, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2140, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2142, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2143, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2144, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2147, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2148, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2149, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2152, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2160, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2170, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2175, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2176, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2177, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2178, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2179, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2180, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2181, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2183, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2184, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2185, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2186, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2187, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2190, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2192, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2194, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2205, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2210, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2211, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2215, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2216, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2218, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2220, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2228, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2229, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2230, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2233, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2239, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2248, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2252, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2253, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2255, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2261, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2278, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2284, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2287, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2289, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2290, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2293, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2295, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2296, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2297, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2311, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2313, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2315, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2320, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2321, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2323, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2328, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2329, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2333, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2338, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2341).
