Trouble with logfile output - difference between string and c_str - C++ - Stack Overflow
1 I am trying to finalize my logging class. I have written it from scratch and do not wish to use an alternative library of any kind. My problem lies within the fact that my logger has trouble outputting std::strings and only works when I denote it with the string.c_str() function.
Here is my logfile output function:
void Log::writeSuccess(char * text,...)
// Grab the variables and insert them
vsnprintf(buff, sizeof(buff), text, ap);
// Output to the log
logfile << "<-!-> " << buff << endl;
Here is a sample call to my log class object (ignore the uselessness of the call):
string test("This is a test string!");
errorLog.writeSuccess("Output: %s", test);
I end up with random characters and garbled output.
However, when I append the string, test with .c_str(), it outputs the text correctly.
The whole reason I am trying to avoid cstrings is because I understand they are not cross platform and am developing my client to support all the major operating systems.
What is wrong with my log output function? Do you see any way it could be improved?
Should I generally avoid c_strings?

You're getting random garble when passing an std::string to vsnprintf because the format specifier "%s" is that of a C-string - a char*.
std::string is not of type char*, but std::string.c_str() is of type char*. vsnprintf will basically read chars pointed to by the address that it presumes is that of a start of a C-string, up until the NUL character '\0'.
An std::string pushed onto the stack and passed as an argument to vsnprintf is not a pointer to a char, however vsnprintf will just treat these bytes as an address and start reading chars/bytes from this address, causing undefined behaviour.
The printf family of functions are not typesafe, since they rely on a format string and variable argument list, which is why your code will compile but you'll get unexpected results.
Bottom line is the printf family of functions expect a char* when you use the format specifier "%s".
I also think you're confusing C style strings (char[]) with the Microsoft-specific CString class. C style strings won't cause you problems on different platforms at all; the literal "This is a test string!" is a C style string (const char[]).

When calling function with variable parameters you must use simple types. For string you must use c_str(). There's no workaround. MFC's CString is designed so that you can get away with using it directly, but that was Microsoft's decision, and part of their design.
EDIT: As I said when calling function with variable parameters you must use string::c_str(). However, instead of C-like functions with variable parameters you can use something like boost::format() and it's parameter feeding operator %. This also gives you more control over ordering of parameters, which is very handy for i18n.

Are you saying that I have to give up on the ability to have this cross platform or just the way I wrote my logfile is incompatible with a string without the Cstring. Do you have any suggestions for rewriting my logfile output? How do other logging classes get away with outputting strings?
@PladniusBrooks, I edited the answer
@hiobs This answer did not initially explain that there is indeed a difference between C and C style strings. Can't fault the asker for now knowing.

Escorting the nine-day queen, Lady Jane Grey, across the Tower of London from throne room into imprisonment is Elizabeth Tilney, who surprised even herself by volunteering for the job. All Elizabeth knows is that it won't be for long: Everyone knows that Jane will go free as soon as the victorious new queen is crowned. Which is a good thing, because the two 16-year-old girls, cooped up together in a room in the Gentleman Gaoler's house, couldn't be less compatible. Protestant Jane is an icily self-composed idealist, and Catholic Elizabeth is...well, anything but. They are united, though, by their disdain for the 17-year-old boy to whom Jane has recently been married: petulant, noisily aggrieved Guildford Dudley. As Jane's captivity extends into the increasingly turbulent last months of 1553, the two girls learn to live with each other, but Elizabeth finds herself drawn into the difficult relationship between the newlyweds. And when events take an unexpected and dangerous direction, her newfound loyalties are put to the test. ©2015 Suzannah Dunn (P)2016 Tantor

Record Cold Cripples Area - The Washington Post
Record Cold Cripples Area
By Thomas S. Grubisich and
Never has there been recorded such a cold Jan 17 in metropolitan Washington. It was so cold yesterday there was not only a record low temperature - 2 degrees at National Airport - but a record low high - 18 degrees.
Continuing frigid weather caused or led to an assortment of hardships and inconveniences here and throughout the Eastern half of the U.S., where at least 49 cities experienced record low temperatures.
In Northern Virginia, more than a third of Virginia Electric and Power Co.'s 300,000 customers had their electricity cut for up to 2 1/2 hours when a nuclear power station was shut down by ice floes and two conventional generating plants froze up.
Throughout the Washington area, Metro commuters were left stranded when buses were disabled, automobiles balked at starting, water mains and pipes froze and burst, and schools shut down or were forced to close when their mechanical systems were knocked out.
In Maryland, Gov. Marvin Mandel proclaimed a state of emergency in the partially ice-locked Chesapeake Bay region and asked President Ford to declare a disaster in the state so watermen and others who have been hard hit can apply for federal financial aid.
"I find that the situation is beyond the capabilities of the state and the affected local governments," Mandel said in a letter to the President.
In Virginia, Gov. Mills E. Godwin ordered all state agencies to reduce their thermostats to 65 degrees and curtail operations and the use of equipment requiring large amounts of fuel.
Godwin said he took such action because the state's natural gas supply "is approaching the critical stage, and . . . the fuel oil situation is little, if any, better."
While Godwin spoke of an impending "critical" natural gas shortage, an official of the State Corporation Commission said last week's Federal Power Commission decision permitting unregulated gas to flow into the state has alleviated the predicted crisis. The official said the added fuel would head off any cutback of residential customers, who have priority over industries.
The Washington Gas Light Co. asked its customers to lower their thermostats to 65 degrees to help ease natural gas shortages.
A warming trend - though only relatively speaking - is expected for the next several days, according to the National Weather Service.
The forecast for today and Wednesday calls for a high between 18 and 24 degrees. On Thursday - Inaugural Day - it is expected to be 20 to 25 degrees. That means that while the temperature is expected to rise, it will remain below freezing.
Because of the continuing cold weather and associated road problems, public schools in Fairfax and Prince George's counties will start an hour late today.
The source of the numbing weather is the same northern Canadian air that meandering air currents have steered southward across the eastern half of the United States most of this month.
The currents always travel from the eastern Pacific across the continent. But rarely, according to National Weather Service officials, have they meandered so far north - where figid air has been picked up - and have come so far south - where that same air has been deposited.
The persisting cold is having a devastating economic impact in some states. Energy shortages led General Motors and Chrysler corporations to shut down operations in Ohio, Michigan and New York yesterday idling 42,000 workers.
The thermometer plunged to 36 below zero in Roseau, Minn., 24 below in Cincinnati, 20 below in Indianapolis, 19 below in Chicago and 17 below in Pittsburgh - all readings that set or matched record lows.
Minds, like machines, did not always function with efficiency in the bold. A motorist in Rochester, Minn., tried to thaw out his car by setting a pan of burning charcoal under the oil pan. Instead he set fire to the engine's electral system.
Vepco's problems, which forced temporary power cutoffs affecting about 325,000 of the utility's total of 1.1 million customers, were traced to three generating stations, two in Tidewater and one near Richmond.
The Surry nuclear station was shut down when ice floes choked up intake screens that funnel water from the James River to condensers that convert steam back to water.
The floes, deposited against the screens by the shifting morning tide, were finally broken yp by a massive iron gate that was dropped from its suspended resting position. The gate is ordinarily used to shut off the water intake during repairs.
The Yorktown plant was crippled when the control system of its outside boiler unit froze up, and three of the six generating units at the Chesterfield station near Richmond failed to start up after being down for the weekend for repairs. Vepco officials blamed the cold weather, which brought a minus-1-degree reading to Richmond.
Power was cut off in random sections of Vepco's service area for two to 2 1/2-hour periods from 6 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. to compensate for the disabled power stations. Altogether Vepco lost 4 million kilowatts of power of its normal 7-million kilowatt load produced in winter months. Emergency power was bought from other utilities during the morning, but not enough, according to Vepco officials, to forestall the temporary power cut-offs.
Power was cut off at random "from one end of Northern Virginia to another," a Vepco official said. Those power sub-stations serving hospitals, fire and police stations and other emergency centers were not cut off, the officials said.
The cut-off began in Northern Virginia shortly after the record low temperature of 2 degrees was recorded at National Airport at 6 a.m.
When Georgine Farish of Annandale woke up about 6 a.m. feeling chily, although she had gone to sleep with her electric blanket turned on, she sensed that something in the house had gone awry.
Although Vepco said that power in most houses was shut off only an hour or two, Mrs. Farish said the electricity in her home wasn't turned on until 11 a.m. As a result, no one in the Farish family had breakfast yesterday.
Mrs. Farish's daughter, Vicki, a Fairfax County schoolteacher, arrived late for work - like many of the teachers in the system - because her electric alarm clock did not go off.
"But," said Mrs. Farish, "at least my husband and my daughter were able to take a hot shower this morning. There wasn't enough hot water left for me."
Some people coped by putting on extra clothing and building fires in their fireplaces.
People waited in line yesterday to buy winter clothing at Eddie Bauer's "Expedition Outfitter" store at 1800 M St. NW. The store, which carries cold-weather items like down-filled slippers, angora thermal underwear, ald silk-insulating socks, was sold out of down-filled gloves and mittens and seal socks. Customer after customer was told there was little chance of the store getting any more.
One man was told the item he was looking for was out of stock and unlikely to be restocked soon, because the truck carrying the supplies was having a hard time traveling over the ice and snow.
Meanwhile, the phone lines were jammed at area plumbing companies with calls from residents whose pipes had frozen or burst.
"I've been here since 7 a.m. and that phone hasn't stopped ringing for five minutes once today," said Martin Saia of the Saia Heating and Plumbing Co., which serves the District, Maryland, and Virginia.
"The pipes are just not insulated thick enough for extremely cold weather," said Saia. "This area just wasn't built for weather like this," he said.
James Lee, director of maintenance for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, which supplies water and sewer service to Montgomery and Prince George's counties, said the agency received 300 calls from homeowners reporting water in their houses from burst lines. Lee said 36 water mains burst over the weekend and 12 more yesterday.
Area fire and police officials also reported hundreds of burst water pipes.
Several schools in the metropolitan area were closed because of the power outrage and the water main breaks.
Prince William County schools were closed four hours early and Fairfax County schools two hours early because of the Vepco power failures, according to school spokesmen. Five elementory schools in Alexandria were without heat for a couple of hours, but no schools were closed, a school spokesman said.
Three schools in Arlington - Wakefield High School, Williamsburg Jr. High School, and Abingdon Elementary School - were closed because of heating problems according to school officials.
In Prince George's County, Adelphi Elementary School was closed at noon because there was no heat, while Langley Park Elementary School was closed shortly after 9 a.m. because of no electricity, a school spokesman said.
Anacostia High School in the District was closed shortly after it opened yesterday because of a water main break, school officials said. No Montgomery County schools were closed, although eight classrooms in two schools were reported to have malfunctioning heaters.
Transportation was widely hindered by the cold weather.
An American Automobile Association spokesman said 2,570 motorists reported their cars wouldn't start. All were serviced by 6 p.m.
The spokesman said car batteries lose 35 per cent of their normal power when temperatures outside fall below freezing.
He emphasized that in cold weather like the current spell, motorists should have their car batteries and spark plugs checked frequently. Also, accessories like lights and radios should be turned off to conserve a battery's limited power when the car is not being driven, he said.
A Metro spokesman said 201 of the 1,743 Metrobuses that normally operate during the morning rush hour periods were out of service yesterday, causing frequent delays for commuters. He said water froze in the air lines that provide pressure for the buses' brakes and open and close the doors of the buses.
The spokesman said the affected Metrobuses had to be taken inside one of the Metro system's eight repair barns and a blow torch used along the line to melt the ice.
However, he said many of the Metrobuses were still inoperative during the evening rush hour.
A Potomac Electric Power Co. spokesman said the utility reduced its power by 5 per cent in order to help supply electricity to other electric companies affected by equipment failures to the south and west of Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
He said the power reduction would not cause any noticeable impact on household appliances.
The spokesman said Pepco "has been fortunate" in that it has not had any equipment failures like the one experienced by Vepco. He said the company's heaviest demand for service is in the summer and that Pepco has an excess of capacity to generate power during the winter months.

› Visit Amazon's Alan Ray Hoxie Page
Danny's tragedy in Iraq didn't have to happen but he dealt with his disability with uncommon patience and insight never blaming his father for the lie that cost him his limbs.Danny, the son of an upstate New York dairy farmer, and a high school football star, is offered a college scholarship he is never told of, and out of frustration enlists in the Army and is sent to Iraq. See what happens to him during his time in the Army and see how he deals with a redneck father and alcoholic mother to become hardened, but not bitter, at the man he then becomes, and how he finds happiness, saved by an unlikely love.

Mr. Hoxie has written a compelling story that contains many layers of a human experience. It is a love story that shows how one can move on from a broken past. It is a story of forgiveness. It is a story of letting go of limitations and rising above them in order to achieve unrealized dreams.Life is full of paradoxes and Mr. Hoxie obviously has an innate spiritual understanding of the mysteries of life. He tells a story with many disturbing elements as if he had lived through them himself. He does so without casting judgments. The unbelievable aspects of the characters' lives become believable as Mr. Hoxie expertly weaves the tapestry that becomes this story.The book was a fast read and it kept my rapt attention over the course of three evenings. I did not want to put it down. As is obvious from the story, life is not fair. Yet life is good! I love the affirming way that he ends the story. You won't be sorry that you have taken the journey. Perhaps you will discover that you have arrived at a similar destination within your own life.I am looking forward to his next book. Mr. Hoxie is a consummate storyteller. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who is a student of life and love. After all, who would want anything else?Davis Aujourd'hui, author of "The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude"
1 of 1 people found the following review helpfulGood read, difficult subject
I liked reading Mr. Hoxie's book. It showed what so many of us have a difficult time understanding, that actions have consequences, both positive and negative. As a military veteran, I have seen the consequences of war, rarely positive for the individuals involved. The events in this book, primarily through the selfish acts of his partents, force Danny to make decisions that he should not be making. Mr. Hoxie captures the loneliness of Danny's life in a clear way. I wonder how much of this book in any way reflects events in the life of the author. This book is a fairly quick read, and forces you to think about the impact of war, lies, and family relationships on individuals. As a sports fan, I enjoyed the chapters in the book that involving Danny's involvement in high school football and what it represented to Danny. I would advise picking up this book, I enjoyed reading it, and hope Mr Hoxie continues down the literary path.

I found this to be a very compelling story of one young mans journey in life. It was a page turner to say the least. Very emotional at times. Loved every minute of it!

Madness: A Brief History by Roy Porter (Paperback, 2003) | eBay
Beginning with 5,000-year-old skulls with tiny holes bored in them (to allow demons to escape), through conceptions of madness as an acute phase in the trial of souls, as an imbalance of "the humors," as the "divine fury" of creative genius, or as the malfunctioning of brain chemistry, Porter shows the many ways madness has been perceived and misperceived in every historical period.
This fascinating story of madness reveals the radically different perceptions of madness and approaches to its treatment, from antiquity to the present day. Roy Porter explores what we really mean by 'madness', covering an ermous range of topics from witches to creative geniuses, electric shock therapy to sexual deviancy, psychoanalysis to prozac. The origins of current debates about how we define and deal with insanity are examined through eyewitness accounts of those treating patients, writers, artists, and the mad themselves.

Assembly was easy and finished product a nice piece of furniture. Only improvement could be to use dovetail joinery on the drawer, otherwise a great piece.show moreFunctional TableRating: OK quality, but could be improved for the price. Lacks a middle shelf inside the door; no plugs to cover the screw holes; slight blemishes in the finish.show moreThe perfect shine to my livingroomRating: The tray table has an antique finish with a bit of shine. Low assembly, open the stand and place the tray. Looks great in front of a leaning wall mirror. Love it! An excellent purchase!show moreNice TableRating: This is a nice little table that is perfect for a small space. However, the drawer is very shallow. I gave it 3 stars because I had to return one and get a replacement due to some finishing defects and now I am waiting on parts that were missing for assembly on the replacement. The finish is not as brown as it shows in the picture. I was hoping to match some cherry furniture that I already have and this will work very nicely.show moreBeautifulRating: Love the details on the table. Would have given a 10 but drawer has gaps at side when closed. Drawer works fine. Beautiful finish and solid wood. Wish it had a matching end table.show morePerfect Accent Table!!!Rating: I was looking for a small accent table to put under a mirror in my dining room. Although this table is pricey, the quality and design is well worth the purchase!show moreExactly what I ordered !!!Rating: The trunk looks exactly like the picture and exactly what I wanted.
Only thing to watch is shipping damage. Shippers do not pay much attention to shipping "nicely". If there is any damage on the box...reject the shipment!!! I have had a big problem with furniture ordered from Overstock being damaged in shipping.show moreFine furnitureRating: Beautiful piece of furniture. Very solidly built, and finished. Arrived undamaged due to an excellent packing.show morePleasant surpriseRating: I was a little wary because I just wasn't sure if the finish on this would be acceptable since this is often an issue with inexpensive imported furniture. This little console table is sturdy, the finish was nice and smooth, and it was very easy to put together. This is a really good buy if you need a small table for a tight space!show moreSponsored LinksWhat's This?
