Include this if you want to use a templated function that converts any possible type to a string, automagically. As long as the templated class has defined a << streaming operator. Here you can find it the way I like my code styled, intended, etc. It returns a string, can't be better, a string can easily be inserted in most C++ code.
#include <string>#include <sstream>
template <class T> std::string toString( const T & t) {
std::ostringstream oss; // create a stream oss << t; // insert value to stream return oss.str(); // extract value and return}
Sure, if we want a char*, then we just copy/paste the following:
#include <string>#include <sstream>
template <class T> char* toCharPointer( const T & t) {
std::ostringstream oss; // create a stream oss << t; // insert value to stream return oss.str().c_str(); // extract value and return}
