Learn how we recognize email senders at http://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification] Hi, One frequently needs to append stuff to strings, but the standard way (s += "A" + "B" + to_string(42)) isn't optimal due to temporaries. A variadic append() for std::string seems like the obvious solution. It could support string_view (boost and std), integers, maybe floats but without formatting options.. It could even be extensible by calling append(s, t); append(s, "A", "B", 42); Would this be useful for the Boost String Algo lib? -- Olaf _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Flists.boost.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo.cgi%2Fboost&data=02%7C01%7Cbion%40microsoft.com%7Ce8f9415a3f87491e848d08d42e675b57%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636184468831322908&sdata=wqjhaHLHfaeV0rw9xGlLdY2zHIWLtZdnew%2FwP%2F%2Fyf7A%3D&reserved=0
