// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// The `str_format` library is a typesafe replacement for the family of
// `printf()` string formatting routines within the `<cstdio>` standard library
// header. Like the `printf` family, the `str_format` uses a "format string" to
// perform argument substitutions based on types. See the `FormatSpec` section
// below for format string documentation.
//
// Example:
//
//   std::string s = absl::StrFormat(
//                      "%s %s You have $%d!", "Hello", name, dollars);
//
// The library consists of the following basic utilities:
//
//   * `absl::StrFormat()`, a type-safe replacement for `std::sprintf()`, to
//     write a format string to a `string` value.
//   * `absl::StrAppendFormat()` to append a format string to a `string`
//   * `absl::StreamFormat()` to more efficiently write a format string to a
//     stream, such as`std::cout`.
//   * `absl::PrintF()`, `absl::FPrintF()` and `absl::SNPrintF()` as
//     replacements for `std::printf()`, `std::fprintf()` and `std::snprintf()`.
//
//     Note: a version of `std::sprintf()` is not supported as it is
//     generally unsafe due to buffer overflows.
//
// Additionally, you can provide a format string (and its associated arguments)
// using one of the following abstractions:
//
//   * A `FormatSpec` class template fully encapsulates a format string and its
//     type arguments and is usually provided to `str_format` functions as a
//     variadic argument of type `FormatSpec<Arg...>`. The `FormatSpec<Args...>`
//     template is evaluated at compile-time, providing type safety.
//   * A `ParsedFormat` instance, which encapsulates a specific, pre-compiled
//     format string for a specific set of type(s), and which can be passed
//     between API boundaries. (The `FormatSpec` type should not be used
//     directly except as an argument type for wrapper functions.)
//
// The `str_format` library provides the ability to output its format strings to
// arbitrary sink types:
//
//   * A generic `Format()` function to write outputs to arbitrary sink types,
//     which must implement a `FormatRawSink` interface.
//
//   * A `FormatUntyped()` function that is similar to `Format()` except it is
//     loosely typed. `FormatUntyped()` is not a template and does not perform
//     any compile-time checking of the format string; instead, it returns a
//     boolean from a runtime check.
//
// In addition, the `str_format` library provides extension points for
// augmenting formatting to new types. These extensions are fully documented
// within the `str_format_extension.h` header file.

//
//   int n = 0;
//   std::string s = absl::StrFormat("%s%d%n", "hello", 123,
//                       absl::FormatCountCapture(&n));

};

// FormatSpec
//
// The `FormatSpec` type defines the makeup of a format string within the
// `str_format` library. It is a variadic class template that is evaluated at
// compile-time, according to the format string and arguments that are passed to
// it.
//
// You should not need to manipulate this type directly. You should only name it
// if you are writing wrapper functions which accept format arguments that will
// be provided unmodified to functions in this library. Such a wrapper function
// might be a class method that provides format arguments and/or internally uses
// the result of formatting.
//
// For a `FormatSpec` to be valid at compile-time, it must be provided as
// either:
//
// * A `constexpr` literal or `absl::string_view`, which is how it most often
//   used.
// * A `ParsedFormat` instantiation, which ensures the format string is
//   valid before use. (See below.)
//
// Example:
//
//   // Provided as a string literal.
//   absl::StrFormat("Welcome to %s, Number %d!", "The Village", 6);
//
//   // Provided as a constexpr absl::string_view.
//   constexpr absl::string_view formatString = "Welcome to %s, Number %d!";
//   absl::StrFormat(formatString, "The Village", 6);
//
//   // Provided as a pre-compiled ParsedFormat object.
//   // Note that this example is useful only for illustration purposes.
//   absl::ParsedFormat<'s', 'd'> formatString("Welcome to %s, Number %d!");
//   absl::StrFormat(formatString, "TheVillage", 6);
//
// A format string generally follows the POSIX syntax as used within the POSIX
// `printf` specification.
//
// (See http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/fprintf.html.)
//
// In specific, the `FormatSpec` supports the following type specifiers:
//   * `c` for characters
//   * `s` for strings
//   * `d` or `i` for integers
//   * `o` for unsigned integer conversions into octal
//   * `x` or `X` for unsigned integer conversions into hex
//   * `u` for unsigned integers
//   * `f` or `F` for floating point values into decimal notation
//   * `e` or `E` for floating point values into exponential notation
//   * `a` or `A` for floating point values into hex exponential notation
//   * `g` or `G` for floating point values into decimal or exponential
//     notation based on their precision
//   * `p` for pointer address values
//   * `n` for the special case of writing out the number of characters
//     written to this point. The resulting value must be captured within an
//     `absl::FormatCountCapture` type.
//
// Implementation-defined behavior:
//   * A null pointer provided to "%s" or "%p" is output as "(nil)".
//   * A non-null pointer provided to "%p" is output in hex as if by %#x or
//     %#lx.
//
// NOTE: `o`, `x\X` and `u` will convert signed values to their unsigned
// counterpart before formatting.
//
// Examples:
//     "%c", 'a'                -> "a"
//     "%c", 32                 -> " "
//     "%s", "C"                -> "C"
//     "%s", std::string("C++") -> "C++"
//     "%d", -10                -> "-10"
//     "%o", 10                 -> "12"
//     "%x", 16                 -> "10"
//     "%f", 123456789          -> "123456789.000000"
//     "%e", .01                -> "1.00000e-2"
//     "%a", -3.0               -> "-0x1.8p+1"
//     "%g", .01                -> "1e-2"
//     "%p", (void*)&value      -> "0x7ffdeb6ad2a4"
//
//     int n = 0;
//     std::string s = absl::StrFormat(
//         "%s%d%n", "hello", 123, absl::FormatCountCapture(&n));
//     EXPECT_EQ(8, n);
//
// The `FormatSpec` intrinsically supports all of these fundamental C++ types:
//
// *   Characters: `char`, `signed char`, `unsigned char`
// *   Integers: `int`, `short`, `unsigned short`, `unsigned`, `long`,
//         `unsigned long`, `long long`, `unsigned long long`
// *   Floating-point: `float`, `double`, `long double`
//
// However, in the `str_format` library, a format conversion specifies a broader
// C++ conceptual category instead of an exact type. For example, `%s` binds to
// any string-like argument, so `std::string`, `absl::string_view`, and
// `const char*` are all accepted. Likewise, `%d` accepts any integer-like
// argument, etc.

//
// A `ParsedFormat` is a class template representing a preparsed `FormatSpec`,
// with template arguments specifying the conversion characters used within the
// format string. Such characters must be valid format type specifiers, and
// these type specifiers are checked at compile-time.
//
// Instances of `ParsedFormat` can be created, copied, and reused to speed up
// formatting loops. A `ParsedFormat` may either be constructed statically, or
// dynamically through its `New()` factory function, which only constructs a
// runtime object if the format is valid at that time.
//
// Example:
//
//   // Verified at compile time.
//   absl::ParsedFormat<'s', 'd'> formatString("Welcome to %s, Number %d!");
//   absl::StrFormat(formatString, "TheVillage", 6);
//
//   // Verified at runtime.
//   auto format_runtime = absl::ParsedFormat<'d'>::New(format_string);
//   if (format_runtime) {
//     value = absl::StrFormat(*format_runtime, i);
//   } else {
//     ... error case ...
//   }

//
// Returns a `string` given a `printf()`-style format string and zero or more
// additional arguments. Use it as you would `sprintf()`. `StrFormat()` is the
// primary formatting function within the `str_format` library, and should be
// used in most cases where you need type-safe conversion of types into
// formatted strings.
//
// The format string generally consists of ordinary character data along with
// one or more format conversion specifiers (denoted by the `%` character).
// Ordinary character data is returned unchanged into the result string, while
// each conversion specification performs a type substitution from
// `StrFormat()`'s other arguments. See the comments for `FormatSpec` for full
// information on the makeup of this format string.
//
// Example:
//
//   std::string s = absl::StrFormat(
//       "Welcome to %s, Number %d!", "The Village", 6);
//   EXPECT_EQ("Welcome to The Village, Number 6!", s);
//
// Returns an empty string in case of error.

//
//   void AbslFormatFlush(MySink* dest, absl::string_view part);
//
// where `dest` is the pointer passed to `absl::Format()`. The function should
// append `part` to `dest`.

// FormatRawSink does not own the passed sink object. The passed object must

//
// A type-erased handle to a format argument specifically used as an argument to

//
// Writes a formatted string to an arbitrary sink object (implementing the
// `absl::FormatRawSink` interface), using an `UntypedFormatSpec` and zero or
// more additional arguments.
//
// This function acts as the most generic formatting function in the
// `str_format` library. The caller provides a raw sink, an unchecked format
// string, and (usually) a runtime specified list of arguments; no compile-time
// checking of formatting is performed within this function. As a result, a
// caller should check the return value to verify that no error occurred.
// On failure, this function returns `false` and the state of the sink is
// unspecified.
//
// The arguments are provided in an `absl::Span<const absl::FormatArg>`.
// Each `absl::FormatArg` object binds to a single argument and keeps a
// reference to it. The values used to create the `FormatArg` objects must
// outlive this function call. (See `str_format_arg.h` for information on
// the `FormatArg` class.)_

//
//   std::optional<std::string> FormatDynamic(
//       const std::string& in_format,
//       const vector<std::string>& in_args) {
//     std::string out;
//     std::vector<absl::FormatArg> args;
//     for (const auto& v : in_args) {
//       // It is important that 'v' is a reference to the objects in in_args.
//       // The values we pass to FormatArg must outlive the call to
//       // FormatUntyped.
//       args.emplace_back(v);
//     }
//     absl::UntypedFormatSpec format(in_format);
