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]printffallback 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_stringwork with__float128. This uses the internal FP formatter and works even on system without__float128support in[s]printf. -
Disabled automatic
std::ostreaminsertion operator (operator<<) discovery whenfmt/ostream.his included to prevent ODR violations. You can get the old behavior by definingFMT_DEPRECATED_OSTREAMbut this will be removed in the next major release. Usefmt::streamedorfmt::ostream_formatterto enable formatting viastd::ostreaminstead. -
Added
fmt::ostream_formatterthat can be used to writeformatterspecializations 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::streamedfunction 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.hprovides aformatterspecialization forstd::thread::idso 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_asextension API to simplify formatting of enums. -
Added experimental
std::variantformatting 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::pathformatting 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::idformatter 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::styledthat 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::printoverload 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.
-
Implemented escaping of wide strings in ranges (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2904). Thanks @phprus.
-
Added support for ranges with
begin/endfound via the argument-dependent lookup (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2807). Thanks @rbrugo. -
Fixed formatting of certain kinds of ranges of ranges (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2787). Thanks @BRevzin.
-
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::joincompatible 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::ostreamprintoverloads (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_checkedbecause 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_tooverload that takes a memory buffer,[v]fprintfthat 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_viewto thedetailnamespace since it's an implementation detail. -
Made access mode of a created file consistent with
fopenby settingS_IWGRPandS_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).
-
Fixed handling of locale separators in floating point formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2830).
-
Made sign specifiers work with
__int128_t(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2773). -

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
constevaland non-type template parameter support (gcc 10+) becausesis 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

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.

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
constevalsupport (gcc 10+, clang 11+) becausedis 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_towith 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):

std::stringconstruction, the speed up is usually lower because handling format specifiers takes a smaller fraction of the total time. -
Added the
_cfuser-defined literal to represent a compiled format string. It can be used instead of theFMT_COMPILEmacro (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 hellIt 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
formatfunctions offormatterspecializations 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::byteand 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.hmoving 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_tooverload that takesbasic_memory_buffer. -
Made parameter order in
vformat_toconsistent 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
0specifier 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.hheader that has been replaced withfmt/os.h. -
Removed the deprecated
format_to_n_context,format_to_n_argsandmake_format_to_n_args. They have been replaced withformat_context,format_args` andmake_format_args`` respectively. -
Moved
wchar_t-specific functions and types tofmt/xchar.h. You can defineFMT_DEPRECATED_INCLUDE_XCHARto automatically includefmt/xchar.hfromfmt/format.hbut 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::ptrwork 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
formatterfor pointer types has been removed. -
Fixed
fmt::formatted_sizewith 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::CREATEflags tofmt::output_file. -
Fixed moving of
fmt::ostreamthat holds buffered data (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2197, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2198). Thanks @vtta. -
Replaced the
fmt::system_errorexception with a function of the same name that constructsstd::system_error(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2266). -
Replaced the
fmt::windows_errorexception with a function of the same name that constructsstd::system_errorwith 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::sytem_categorybut correctly handles UTF-8. Thanks @phprus. -
Replaced
fmt::error_codewithstd::error_codeand 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_towork with a memory buffer that has a custom allocator (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2300). Thanks @voxmea. -
Added
Allocator::max_sizesupport 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
formatterspecializations via a format context satisfy C++20std::output_iteratorrequirements (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
printfimplementation (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. -

constexprchar_traits(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2246, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/2257). Thanks @phprus. -
Fixed writing to
stdoutwhen it is redirected toNULon Windows (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2080). -
Fixed exception propagation from iterators (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2097).
-
Improved

Stopped using deprecated GCC UDL template extension.
-
Added
fmt/args.hto 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_PROJECTCMake 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. -

7.1.3 - 2020-11-24
- Fixed handling of buffer boundaries in
format_to_n(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1996, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2029). - Fixed linkage errors when linking with a shared library (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2011).
- Reintroduced ostream support to range formatters (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2014).
- Worked around an issue with mixing std versions in gcc (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/2017).
7.1.2 - 2020-11-04
- Fixed floating point formatting with large precision (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1976).
7.1.1 - 2020-11-01
- Fixed ABI compatibility with 7.0.x (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1961).
- Added the
FMT_ARM_ABI_COMPATIBILITYmacro to work around ABI incompatibility between GCC and Clang on ARM (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1919). - Worked around a SFINAE bug in GCC 8 (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1957).
- Fixed linkage errors when building with GCC's LTO (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1955).
- Fixed a compilation error when building without
__builtin_clzor equivalent (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1968). Thanks @tohammer. - Fixed a sign conversion warning (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1964). Thanks @OptoCloud.
7.1.0 - 2020-10-25
-
Switched from Grisu3 to Dragonbox for the default floating-point formatting which gives the shortest decimal representation with round-trip guarantee and correct rounding (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1882, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1887, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1894). This makes {fmt} up to 20-30x faster than common implementations of
std::ostringstreamandsprintfon dtoa-benchmark and faster than double-conversion and Ryū:It is possible to get even better performance at the cost of larger binary size by compiling with the
FMT_USE_FULL_CACHE_DRAGONBOXmacro set to 1.Thanks @jk-jeon.
-
Added an experimental unsynchronized file output API which, together with format string compilation, can give 5-9 times speed up compared to fprintf on common platforms (godbolt):
#include <fmt/os.h> int main() { auto f = fmt::output_file("guide"); f.print("The answer is {}.", 42); } -
Added a formatter for
std::chrono::time_point<system_clock>(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1819, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1837). For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/chrono.h> int main() { auto now = std::chrono::system_clock::now(); fmt::print("The time is {:%H:%M:%S}.\n", now); }Thanks @adamburgess.
-
Added support for ranges with non-const
begin/endtofmt::join(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1784, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1786). For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/ranges.h> #include <range/v3/view/filter.hpp> int main() { using std::literals::string_literals::operator""s; auto strs = std::array{"a"s, "bb"s, "ccc"s}; auto range = strs | ranges::views::filter( [] (const std::string &x) { return x.size() != 2; } ); fmt::print("{}\n", fmt::join(range, "")); }prints "accc".
Thanks @tonyelewis.
-
Added a
memory_buffer::appendoverload that takes a range (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1806). Thanks @BRevzin. -
Improved handling of single code units in
FMT_COMPILE. For example:#include <fmt/compile.h> char* f(char* buf) { return fmt::format_to(buf, FMT_COMPILE("x{}"), 42); }compiles to just (godbolt):
_Z1fPc: movb $120, (%rdi) xorl %edx, %edx cmpl $42, _ZN3fmt2v76detail10basic_dataIvE23zero_or_powers_of_10_32E+8(%rip) movl $3, %eax seta %dl subl %edx, %eax movzwl _ZN3fmt2v76detail10basic_dataIvE6digitsE+84(%rip), %edx cltq addq %rdi, %rax movw %dx, -2(%rax) retHere a single
movinstruction writes'x'($120) to the output buffer. -
Added dynamic width support to format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1809).
-
Improved error reporting for unformattable types: now you'll get the type name directly in the error message instead of the note:
#include <fmt/core.h> struct how_about_no {}; int main() { fmt::print("{}", how_about_no()); }Error (godbolt):
fmt/core.h:1438:3: error: static_assert failed due to requirement 'fmt::v7::formattable<how_about_no>()' "Cannot format an argument. To make type T formattable provide a formatter<T> specialization: https://fmt.dev/latest/api.html#udt" ... -
Added the make_args_checked function template that allows you to write formatting functions with compile-time format string checks and avoid binary code bloat (godbolt):
void vlog(const char* file, int line, fmt::string_view format, fmt::format_args args) { fmt::print("{}: {}: ", file, line); fmt::vprint(format, args); } template <typename S, typename... Args> void log(const char* file, int line, const S& format, Args&&... args) { vlog(file, line, format, fmt::make_args_checked<Args...>(format, args...)); } #define MY_LOG(format, ...) \ log(__FILE__, __LINE__, FMT_STRING(format), __VA_ARGS__) MY_LOG("invalid squishiness: {}", 42); -
Replaced
snprintffallback with a faster internal IEEE 754floatanddoubleformatter for arbitrary precision. For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/core.h> int main() { fmt::print("{:.500}\n", 4.9406564584124654E-324); }prints
4.9406564584124654417656879286822137236505980261432476442558568250067550727020875186529983636163599237979656469544571773092665671035593979639877479601078187812630071319031140452784581716784898210368871863605699873072305000638740915356498438731247339727316961514003171538539807412623856559117102665855668676818703956031062493194527159149245532930545654440112748012970999954193198940908041656332452475714786901472678015935523861155013480352649347201937902681071074917033322268447533357208324319360923829e-324. -
Made
format_to_nandformatted_sizepart of the core API (godbolt):#include <fmt/core.h> int main() { char buffer[10]; auto result = fmt::format_to_n(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "{}", 42); } -
Added
fmt::format_to_noverload with format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1764, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1767, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1869). For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/compile.h> int main() { char buffer[8]; fmt::format_to_n(buffer, sizeof(buffer), FMT_COMPILE("{}"), 42); }Thanks @Kurkin and @alexezeder.
-
Added
fmt::format_tooverload that taketext_style(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1593, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1842, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1843). For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/color.h> int main() { std::string out; fmt::format_to(std::back_inserter(out), fmt::emphasis::bold | fg(fmt::color::red), "The answer is {}.", 42); }Thanks @Naios.
-
Made the
'#'specifier emit trailing zeros in addition to the decimal point (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1797). For example (godbolt):#include <fmt/core.h> int main() { fmt::print("{:#.2g}", 0.5); }prints
0.50. -
Changed the default floating point format to not include
.0for consistency withstd::formatandstd::to_chars(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1893, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1943). It is possible to get the decimal point and trailing zero with the#specifier. -
Fixed an issue with floating-point formatting that could result in addition of a non-significant trailing zero in rare cases e.g.
1.00e-34instead of1.0e-34(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1873, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1917). -
Made
fmt::to_stringfallback onostreaminsertion operator if theformatterspecialization is not provided (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1815, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1829). Thanks @alexezeder. -
Added support for the append mode to the experimental file API and improved
fcntl.hdetection. (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1847, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1848). Thanks @t-wiser. -
Fixed handling of types that have both an implicit conversion operator and an overloaded
ostreaminsertion operator (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1766). -
Fixed a slicing issue in an internal iterator type (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1822). Thanks @BRevzin.
-
Fixed an issue in locale-specific integer formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1927).
-
Fixed handling of exotic code unit types (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1870, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1932).
-
Improved
FMT_ALWAYS_INLINE(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1878). Thanks @jk-jeon. -
Removed dependency on
windows.h(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1900). Thanks @bernd5. -
Optimized counting of decimal digits on MSVC (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1890). Thanks @mwinterb.
-
Improved documentation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1772, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1775, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1792, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1838, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1888, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1918, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1939). Thanks @leolchat, @pepsiman, @Klaim, @ravijanjam, @francesco-st and @udnaan.
-
Added the
FMT_REDUCE_INT_INSTANTIATIONSCMake option that reduces the binary code size at the cost of some integer formatting performance. This can be useful for extremely memory-constrained embedded systems (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1778, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1781). Thanks @kammce. -
Added the
FMT_USE_INLINE_NAMESPACESmacro to control usage of inline namespaces (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1945). Thanks @darklukee. -
Improved build configuration (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1760, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1770, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1779, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1783, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1823). Thanks @dvetutnev, @xvitaly, @tambry, @medithe and @martinwuehrer.
-

7.0.3 - 2020-08-06
- Worked around broken
numeric_limitsfor 128-bit integers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1787). - Added error reporting on missing named arguments (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1796).
- Stopped using 128-bit integers with clang-cl (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1800). Thanks @Kingcom.
- Fixed issues in locale-specific integer formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1782, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1801).
7.0.2 - 2020-07-29
- Worked around broken
numeric_limitsfor 128-bit integers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1725). - Fixed compatibility with CMake 3.4 (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1779).
- Fixed handling of digit separators in locale-specific formatting (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1782).
7.0.1 - 2020-07-07
- Updated the inline version namespace name.
- Worked around a gcc bug in mangling of alias templates (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1753).
- Fixed a linkage error on Windows (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1757). Thanks @Kurkin.
- Fixed minor issues with the documentation.
7.0.0 - 2020-07-05
-
Reduced the library size. For example, on macOS a stripped test binary statically linked with {fmt} shrank from ~368k to less than 100k.
-
Added a simpler and more efficient format string compilation API:
#include <fmt/compile.h> // Converts 42 into std::string using the most efficient method and no // runtime format string processing. std::string s = fmt::format(FMT_COMPILE("{}"), 42);The old
fmt::compileAPI is now deprecated. -
Optimized integer formatting:
format_towith format string compilation and a stack-allocated buffer is now faster than to_chars on both libc++ and libstdc++. -
Optimized handling of small format strings. For example,
fmt::format("Result: {}: ({},{},{},{})", str1, str2, str3, str4, str5)is now ~40% faster (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1685).
-
Applied extern templates to improve compile times when using the core API and
fmt/format.h(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1452). For example, on macOS with clang the compile time of a test translation unit dropped from 2.3s to 0.3s with-O2and from 0.6s to 0.3s with the default settings (-O0).Before (
-O2):% time c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 -O2 c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 -O2 2.22s user 0.08s system 99% cpu 2.311 totalAfter (
-O2):% time c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 -O2 c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 -O2 0.26s user 0.04s system 98% cpu 0.303 totalBefore (default):
% time c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 0.53s user 0.06s system 98% cpu 0.601 totalAfter (default):
% time c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 c++ -c test.cc -I include -std=c++17 0.24s user 0.06s system 98% cpu 0.301 totalIt is still recommended to use
fmt/core.hinstead offmt/format.hbut the compile time difference is now smaller. Thanks @alex3d for the suggestion. -
Named arguments are now stored on stack (no dynamic memory allocations) and the compiled code is more compact and efficient. For example
#include <fmt/core.h> int main() { fmt::print("The answer is {answer}\n", fmt::arg("answer", 42)); }compiles to just (godbolt)
.LC0: .string "answer" .LC1: .string "The answer is {answer}\n" main: sub rsp, 56 mov edi, OFFSET FLAT:.LC1 mov esi, 23 movabs rdx, 4611686018427387905 lea rax, [rsp+32] lea rcx, [rsp+16] mov QWORD PTR [rsp+8], 1 mov QWORD PTR [rsp], rax mov DWORD PTR [rsp+16], 42 mov QWORD PTR [rsp+32], OFFSET FLAT:.LC0 mov DWORD PTR [rsp+40], 0 call fmt::v6::vprint(fmt::v6::basic_string_view<char>, fmt::v6::format_args) xor eax, eax add rsp, 56 ret .L.str.1: .asciz "answer" -
Implemented compile-time checks for dynamic width and precision (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1614):
#include <fmt/format.h> int main() { fmt::print(FMT_STRING("{0:{1}}"), 42); }now gives a compilation error because argument 1 doesn't exist:
In file included from test.cc:1: include/fmt/format.h:2726:27: error: constexpr variable 'invalid_format' must be initialized by a constant expression FMT_CONSTEXPR_DECL bool invalid_format = ^ ... include/fmt/core.h:569:26: note: in call to '&checker(s, {}).context_->on_error(&"argument not found"[0])' if (id >= num_args_) on_error("argument not found"); ^ -
Added sentinel support to
fmt::join(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1689)struct zstring_sentinel {}; bool operator==(const char* p, zstring_sentinel) { return *p == '\0'; } bool operator!=(const char* p, zstring_sentinel) { return *p != '\0'; } struct zstring { const char* p; const char* begin() const { return p; } zstring_sentinel end() const { return {}; } }; auto s = fmt::format("{}", fmt::join(zstring{"hello"}, "_")); // s == "h_e_l_l_o"Thanks @BRevzin.
-
Added support for named arguments,
clearandreservetodynamic_format_arg_store(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1655, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1663, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1674, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1677). Thanks @vsolontsov-ll. -
Added support for the
'c'format specifier to integral types for compatibility withstd::format(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1652). -
Replaced the
'n'format specifier with'L'for compatibility withstd::format(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1624). The'n'specifier can be enabled via theFMT_DEPRECATED_N_SPECIFIERmacro. -
The
'='format specifier is now disabled by default for compatibility withstd::format. It can be enabled via theFMT_DEPRECATED_NUMERIC_ALIGNmacro. -
Removed the following deprecated APIs:
FMT_STRING_ALIASandfmtmacros - replaced byFMT_STRINGfmt::basic_string_view::char_type- replaced byfmt::basic_string_view::value_typeconvert_to_intformat_arg_store::types*parse_context- replaced by*format_parse_contextFMT_DEPRECATED_INCLUDE_OSFMT_DEPRECATED_PERCENT- incompatible withstd::format*writer- replaced by compiled format API
-
Renamed the
internalnamespace todetail(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1538). The former is still provided as an alias if theFMT_USE_INTERNALmacro is defined. -
Improved compatibility between
fmt::printfwith the standard specs (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1595, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1682, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1683, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1687, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1699). Thanks @rimathia. -
Fixed handling of
operator<<overloads that usecopyfmt(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1666). -
Added the
FMT_OSCMake option to control inclusion of OS-specific APIs in the fmt target. This can be useful for embedded platforms (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1654, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1656). Thanks @kwesolowski. -
Replaced
FUZZING_BUILD_MODE_UNSAFE_FOR_PRODUCTIONwith theFMT_FUZZmacro to prevent interfering with fuzzing of projects using {fmt} (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1650). Thanks @asraa. -
Fixed compatibility with emscripten (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1636, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1637). Thanks @ArthurSonzogni.

-
Implemented detection of invalid use of
fmt::arg. -
Used
type_identityto block unnecessary template argument deduction. Thanks Tim Song. -
Improved UTF-8 handling (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1109):
fmt::print("┌{0:─^{2}}┐\n" "│{1: ^{2}}│\n" "└{0:─^{2}}┘\n", "", "Привет, мир!", 20);now prints:

6.1.2 - 2019-12-11
- Fixed ABI compatibility with
libfmt.so.6.0.0(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1471). - Fixed handling types convertible to
std::string_view(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1451). Thanks @denizevrenci. - Made CUDA test an opt-in enabled via the
FMT_CUDA_TESTCMake option. - Fixed sign conversion warnings (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1440). Thanks @0x8000-0000.
6.1.1 - 2019-12-04
- Fixed shared library build on Windows (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1443, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1445, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1446, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1450). Thanks @egorpugin and @bbolli.
- Added a missing decimal point in exponent notation with trailing zeros.
- Removed deprecated
format_arg_store::TYPES.
6.1.0 - 2019-12-01
-
{fmt} now formats IEEE 754
floatanddoubleusing the shortest decimal representation with correct rounding by default:#include <cmath> #include <fmt/core.h> int main() { fmt::print("{}", M_PI); }prints
3.141592653589793. -
Made the fast binary to decimal floating-point formatter the default, simplified it and improved performance. {fmt} is now 15 times faster than libc++'s
std::ostringstream, 11 times faster thanprintfand 10% faster than double-conversion on dtoa-benchmark:Function Time (ns) Speedup ostringstream 1,346.30 1.00x ostrstream 1,195.74 1.13x sprintf 995.08 1.35x doubleconv 99.10 13.59x fmt 88.34 15.24x -
{fmt} no longer converts
floatarguments todouble. In particular this improves the default (shortest) representation of floats and makesfmt::formatconsistent withstd::formatspecs (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1336, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1353, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1360, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1361):fmt::print("{}", 0.1f);prints
0.1instead of0.10000000149011612.Thanks @orivej.
-
Made floating-point formatting output consistent with
printf/iostreams (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1376, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1417). -
Added support for 128-bit integers (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1287):
fmt::print("{}", std::numeric_limits<__int128_t>::max());prints
170141183460469231731687303715884105727.Thanks @denizevrenci.
-
The overload of
printthat takestext_styleis now atomic, i.e. the output from different threads doesn't interleave (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1351). Thanks @tankiJong. -
Made compile time in the header-only mode ~20% faster by reducing the number of template instantiations.
wchar_toverload ofvprintwas moved fromfmt/core.htofmt/format.h. -
Added an overload of
fmt::jointhat works with tuples (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1322, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1330):#include <tuple> #include <fmt/ranges.h> int main() { std::tuple<char, int, float> t{'a', 1, 2.0f}; fmt::print("{}", t); }prints
('a', 1, 2.0).Thanks @jeremyong.
-
Changed formatting of octal zero with prefix from "00" to "0":
fmt::print("{:#o}", 0);prints
0. -
The locale is now passed to ostream insertion (
<<) operators (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1406):#include <fmt/locale.h> #include <fmt/ostream.h> struct S { double value; }; std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, S s) { return os << s.value; } int main() { auto s = fmt::format(std::locale("fr_FR.UTF-8"), "{}", S{0.42}); // s == "0,42" }Thanks @dlaugt.
-
Locale-specific number formatting now uses grouping (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1393, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1394). Thanks @skrdaniel.
-
Fixed handling of types with deleted implicit rvalue conversion to
const char**(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1421):struct mystring { operator const char*() const&; operator const char*() &; operator const char*() const&& = delete; operator const char*() && = delete; }; mystring str; fmt::print("{}", str); // now compiles -
Enums are now mapped to correct underlying types instead of
int(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1286). Thanks @agmt. -
Enum classes are no longer implicitly converted to
int(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1424). -
Added
basic_format_parse_contextfor consistency with C++20std::formatand deprecatedbasic_parse_context. -
Fixed handling of UTF-8 in precision (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1389, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1390). Thanks @tajtiattila.
-
{fmt} can now be installed on Linux, macOS and Windows with Conda using its conda-forge package (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1410):
conda install -c conda-forge fmtThanks @tdegeus.
-
Added a CUDA test (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1285, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1317). Thanks @luncliff and @risa2000.
-
Improved documentation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1276, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1291, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1296, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1315, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1332, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1337, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1395 https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1418). Thanks @waywardmonkeys, @pauldreik and @jackoalan.
-
Various code improvements (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1358, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1407). Thanks @orivej and @dpacbach.
-
Fixed compile-time format string checks for user-defined types (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1292).
-
Worked around a false positive in
unsigned-integer-overflowsanitizer (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1377). -
Fixed various warnings and compilation issues (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1273, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1278, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1280, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1281, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1288, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1290, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1301, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1305, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1306, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1309, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1312, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1313, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1316, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1319, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1320, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1326, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1328, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1344, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1345, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1347, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1349, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1354, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1362, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1366, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1364, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1370, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1371, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1385, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1388, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1397, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1414, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1416, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1422 https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1427, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1431, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1433).

6.0.0 - 2019-08-26
-
Switched to the MIT license with an optional exception that allows distributing binary code without attribution.
-
Floating-point formatting is now locale-independent by default:
#include <locale> #include <fmt/core.h> int main() { std::locale::global(std::locale("ru_RU.UTF-8")); fmt::print("value = {}", 4.2); }prints "value = 4.2" regardless of the locale.
For locale-specific formatting use the
nspecifier:std::locale::global(std::locale("ru_RU.UTF-8")); fmt::print("value = {:n}", 4.2);prints "value = 4,2".
-
Added an experimental Grisu floating-point formatting algorithm implementation (disabled by default). To enable it compile with the
FMT_USE_GRISUmacro defined to 1:#define FMT_USE_GRISU 1 #include <fmt/format.h> auto s = fmt::format("{}", 4.2); // formats 4.2 using GrisuWith Grisu enabled, {fmt} is 13x faster than
std::ostringstream(libc++) and 10x faster thansprintfon dtoa-benchmark (full results): -
Separated formatting and parsing contexts for consistency with C++20 std::format, removing the undocumented
basic_format_context::parse_context()function. -
Added oss-fuzz support (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1199). Thanks @pauldreik.
-
formatterspecializations now always take precedence overoperator<<(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/952):#include <iostream> #include <fmt/ostream.h> struct S {}; std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, S) { return os << 1; } template <> struct fmt::formatter<S> : fmt::formatter<int> { auto format(S, format_context& ctx) { return formatter<int>::format(2, ctx); } }; int main() { std::cout << S() << "\n"; // prints 1 using operator<< fmt::print("{}\n", S()); // prints 2 using formatter } -
Introduced the experimental
fmt::compilefunction that does format string compilation (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/618, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1169, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1171):#include <fmt/compile.h> auto f = fmt::compile<int>("{}"); std::string s = fmt::format(f, 42); // can be called multiple times to // format different values // s == "42"It moves the cost of parsing a format string outside of the format function which can be beneficial when identically formatting many objects of the same types. Thanks @stryku.
-
Added experimental
%format specifier that formats floating-point values as percentages (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1060, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1069, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1071):auto s = fmt::format("{:.1%}", 0.42); // s == "42.0%"Thanks @gawain-bolton.
-
Implemented precision for floating-point durations (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1004, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1012):
auto s = fmt::format("{:.1}", std::chrono::duration<double>(1.234)); // s == 1.2sThanks @DanielaE.
-
Implemented
chronoformat specifiers%Qand%qthat give the value and the unit respectively (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1019):auto value = fmt::format("{:%Q}", 42s); // value == "42" auto unit = fmt::format("{:%q}", 42s); // unit == "s"Thanks @DanielaE.
-
Fixed handling of dynamic width in chrono formatter:
auto s = fmt::format("{0:{1}%H:%M:%S}", std::chrono::seconds(12345), 12); // ^ width argument index ^ width // s == "03:25:45 "Thanks Howard Hinnant.
-
Removed deprecated
fmt/time.h. Usefmt/chrono.hinstead. -
Added
fmt::formatandfmt::vformatoverloads that taketext_style(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/993, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/994):#include <fmt/color.h> std::string message = fmt::format(fmt::emphasis::bold | fg(fmt::color::red), "The answer is {}.", 42);Thanks @Naios.
-
Removed the deprecated color API (
print_colored). Use the new API, namelyprintoverloads that taketext_styleinstead. -
Made
std::unique_ptrandstd::shared_ptrformattable as pointers viafmt::ptr(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1121):std::unique_ptr<int> p = ...; fmt::print("{}", fmt::ptr(p)); // prints p as a pointerThanks @sighingnow.
-
Made
printandvprintreport I/O errors (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/1098, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1099). Thanks @BillyDonahue. -
Marked deprecated APIs with the
[[deprecated]]attribute and removed internal uses of deprecated APIs (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1022). Thanks @eliaskosunen. -
Modernized the codebase using more C++11 features and removing workarounds. Most importantly,
buffer_contextis now an alias template, so usebuffer_context<T>instead ofbuffer_context<T>::type. These features require GCC 4.8 or later. -
formatterspecializations now always take precedence over implicit conversions tointand the undocumentedconvert_to_inttrait is now deprecated. -
Moved the undocumented
basic_writer,writer, andwwritertypes to theinternalnamespace. -
Removed deprecated
basic_format_context::begin(). Useout()instead. -
Disallowed passing the result of
joinas an lvalue to prevent misuse. -
Refactored the undocumented structs that represent parsed format specifiers to simplify the API and allow multibyte fill.
-
Moved SFINAE to template parameters to reduce symbol sizes.

5.2.0 - 2018-09-13
-
Optimized format string parsing and argument processing which resulted in up to 5x speed up on long format strings and significant performance boost on various benchmarks. For example, version 5.2 is 2.22x faster than 5.1 on decimal integer formatting with
format_to(macOS, clang-902.0.39.2):Method Time, s Speedup fmt::format 5.1 0.58 fmt::format 5.2 0.35 1.66x fmt::format_to 5.1 0.51 fmt::format_to 5.2 0.23 2.22x sprintf 0.71 std::to_string 1.01 std::stringstream 1.73 -
Changed the
fmtmacro from opt-out to opt-in to prevent name collisions. To enable it define theFMT_STRING_ALIASmacro to 1 before includingfmt/format.h:#define FMT_STRING_ALIAS 1 #include <fmt/format.h> std::string answer = format(fmt("{}"), 42); -
Added compile-time format string checks to
format_tooverload that takesfmt::memory_buffer(https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/783):fmt::memory_buffer buf; // Compile-time error: invalid type specifier. fmt::format_to(buf, fmt("{:d}"), "foo"); -
Moved experimental color support to
fmt/color.hand enabled the new API by default. The old API can be enabled by defining theFMT_DEPRECATED_COLORSmacro. -
Added formatting support for types explicitly convertible to
fmt::string_view:struct foo { explicit operator fmt::string_view() const { return "foo"; } }; auto s = format("{}", foo());In particular, this makes formatting function work with
folly::StringPiece. -
Implemented preliminary support for
char*_tby replacing theformatfunction overloads with a single function template parameterized on the string type. -
Added support for dynamic argument lists (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/814, https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/819). Thanks @MikePopoloski.

Thanks @Remotion, @gabime, @foonathan, @Dark-Passenger and @0x8000-0000.
5.0.0 - 2018-05-21
-
Added a requirement for partial C++11 support, most importantly variadic templates and type traits, and dropped
FMT_VARIADIC_*emulation macros. Variadic templates are available since GCC 4.4, Clang 2.9 and MSVC 18.0 (2013). For older compilers use {fmt} version 4.x which continues to be maintained and works with C++98 compilers. -
Renamed symbols to follow standard C++ naming conventions and proposed a subset of the library for standardization in P0645R2 Text Formatting.
-
Implemented
constexprparsing of format strings and compile-time format string checks. For example#include <fmt/format.h> std::string s = format(fmt("{:d}"), "foo");gives a compile-time error because
dis an invalid specifier for strings (godbolt):... <source>:4:19: note: in instantiation of function template specialization 'fmt::v5::format<S, char [4]>' requested here std::string s = format(fmt("{:d}"), "foo"); ^ format.h:1337:13: note: non-constexpr function 'on_error' cannot be used in a constant expression handler.on_error("invalid type specifier");Compile-time checks require relaxed
constexpr(C++14 feature) support. If the latter is not available, checks will be performed at runtime. -
Separated format string parsing and formatting in the extension API to enable compile-time format string processing. For example
struct Answer {}; namespace fmt { template <> struct formatter<Answer> { constexpr auto parse(parse_context& ctx) { auto it = ctx.begin(); spec = *it; if (spec != 'd' && spec != 's') throw format_error("invalid specifier"); return ++it; } template <typename FormatContext> auto format(Answer, FormatContext& ctx) { return spec == 's' ? format_to(ctx.begin(), "{}", "fourty-two") : format_to(ctx.begin(), "{}", 42); } char spec = 0; }; } std::string s = format(fmt("{:x}"), Answer());gives a compile-time error due to invalid format specifier (godbolt):
... <source>:12:45: error: expression '<throw-expression>' is not a constant expression throw format_error("invalid specifier"); -
Added iterator support:
#include <vector> #include <fmt/format.h> std::vector<char> out; fmt::format_to(std::back_inserter(out), "{}", 42); -
Added the format_to_n function that restricts the output to the specified number of characters (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/298):
char out[4]; fmt::format_to_n(out, sizeof(out), "{}", 12345); // out == "1234" (without terminating '\0') -
Added the formatted_size function for computing the output size:
#include <fmt/format.h> auto size = fmt::formatted_size("{}", 12345); // size == 5 -
Improved compile times by reducing dependencies on standard headers and providing a lightweight core API:
#include <fmt/core.h> fmt::print("The answer is {}.", 42); -
Added the make_format_args function for capturing formatting arguments:
// Prints formatted error message. void vreport_error(const char *format, fmt::format_args args) { fmt::print("Error: "); fmt::vprint(format, args); } template <typename...

Sign is now preserved when formatting an integer with an incorrect
printfformat specifier (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/265):fmt::printf("%lld", -42); // prints -42Note that it would be an undefined behavior in
std::printf. -

0.12.0 - 2014-10-25
-
[Breaking] Improved separation between formatting and buffer management.
Writeris now a base class that cannot be instantiated directly. The newMemoryWriterclass implements the default buffer management with small allocations done on stack. Sofmt::Writershould be replaced withfmt::MemoryWriterin variable declarations.Old code:
fmt::Writer w;New code:
fmt::MemoryWriter w;If you pass
fmt::Writerby reference, you can continue to do so:void f(fmt::Writer &w);This doesn't affect the formatting API.
-
Support for custom memory allocators (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/69)
-
Formatting functions now accept [signed char]{.title-ref} and [unsigned char]{.title-ref} strings as arguments (https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/73):
auto s = format("GLSL version: {}", glGetString(GL_VERSION)); -
Reduced code bloat. According to the new benchmark results, cppformat is close to
printfand by the order of magnitude better than Boost Format in terms of compiled code size. -
Improved appearance of the documentation on mobile by using the Sphinx Bootstrap theme:
Old New 

0.11.0 - 2014-08-21
-
Safe printf implementation with a POSIX extension for positional arguments:
fmt::printf("Elapsed time: %.2f seconds", 1.23); fmt::printf("%1$s, %3$d %2$s", weekday, month, day); -
Arguments of
chartype can now be formatted as integers (Issue https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/55):fmt::format("0x{0:02X}", 'a'); -
Deprecated parts of the API removed.
-
The library is now built and tested on MinGW with Appveyor in addition to existing test platforms Linux/GCC, OS X/Clang, Windows/MSVC.
0.10.0 - 2014-07-01
Improved API
-
All formatting methods are now implemented as variadic functions instead of using
operator<<for feeding arbitrary arguments into a temporary formatter object. This works both with C++11 where variadic templates are used and with older standards where variadic functions are emulated by providing lightweight wrapper functions defined with theFMT_VARIADICmacro. You can use this macro for defining your own portable variadic functions:void report_error(const char *format, const fmt::ArgList &args) { fmt::print("Error: {}"); fmt::print(format, args); } FMT_VARIADIC(void, report_error, const char *) report_error("file not found: {}", path);Apart from a more natural syntax, this also improves performance as there is no need to construct temporary formatter objects and control arguments' lifetimes. Because the wrapper functions are very lightweight, this doesn't cause code bloat even in pre-C++11 mode.
-
Simplified common case of formatting an
std::string. Now it requires a single function call:std::string s = format("The answer is {}.", 42);Previously it required 2 function calls:
std::string s = str(Format("The answer is {}.") << 42);Instead of unsafe
c_strfunction,fmt::Writershould be used directly to bypass creation ofstd::string:fmt::Writer w; w.write("The answer is {}.", 42); w.c_str(); // returns a C stringThis doesn't do dynamic memory allocation for small strings and is less error prone as the lifetime of the string is the same as for
std::string::c_strwhich is well understood (hopefully). -
Improved consistency in naming functions that are a part of the public API. Now all public functions are lowercase following the standard library conventions. Previously it was a combination of lowercase and CapitalizedWords. Issue https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/issues/50.
-
Old functions are marked as deprecated and will be removed in the next release.
Other Changes
-
Experimental support for printf format specifications (work in progress):
fmt::printf("The answer is %d.", 42); std::string s = fmt::sprintf("Look, a %s!", "string"); -
Support for hexadecimal floating point format specifiers
aandA:print("{:a}", -42.0); // Prints -0x1.5p+5 print("{:A}", -42.0); // Prints -0X1.5P+5 -
CMake option
FMT_SHAREDthat specifies whether to build format as a shared library (off by default).
0.9.0 - 2014-05-13
-
More efficient implementation of variadic formatting functions.
-
Writer::Formatnow has a variadic overload:Writer out; out.Format("Look, I'm {}!", "variadic"); -
For efficiency and consistency with other overloads, variadic overload of the
Formatfunction now returnsWriterinstead ofstd::string. Use thestrfunction to convert it tostd::string:std::string s = str(Format("Look, I'm {}!", "variadic")); -
Replaced formatter actions with output sinks:
NoAction->NullSink,Write->FileSink,ColorWriter->ANSITerminalSink. This improves naming consistency and shouldn't affect client code unless these classes are used directly which should be rarely needed. -
Added
ThrowSystemErrorfunction that formats a message and throwsSystemErrorcontaining the formatted message and system-specific error description. For example, the following codeFILE *f = fopen(filename, "r"); if (!f) ThrowSystemError(errno, "Failed to open file '{}'") << filename;will throw
SystemErrorexception with description "Failed to open file '<filename>': No such file or directory" if file doesn't exist. -
Support for AppVeyor continuous integration platform.
-
Formatnow throwsSystemErrorin case of I/O errors. -
Improve test infrastructure. Print functions are now tested by redirecting the output to a pipe.
0.8.0 - 2014-04-14
