SafePrintf() [1/2]

template<typename T , typename... Types>

void drama::SafePrintf	(	std::ostream &	ostream,
		const char *	format,
		const T &	value,
		Types...	args
	)

Safe formatted write to a stream.

Case with arguments.

This is probably slower then say fprintf(), and provides no way to influence the formatting. But in many cases its type safety is what really matters.

Deprecated:

Use the fmt::format library instead of this function. See DRAMA 2 String formatting for details on this formatting approach, but you can replace the use of this function by returning value of fmt::format() to the stream.

Parameters

ostream	The stream to write to.
format	The format string. Each % character is to be replaced by the corresponding argument. Note - only the % is needed and used, don't do for example "%d". To output a %, use "%%".
value	The first argument.
args	Arguments to the format. Any arbitrary types can be formatted as long as an overload of the << operator is available for that type.

Template Parameters

T	The type of the first argument.
Types...	the remaining argument types.
