+/// Provides the definition of the utils::format::formatter class.
+///
+/// The utils::format::formatter class is a poor man's replacement for the
+/// Boost.Format library, as it is much simpler and has less dependencies.
+///
+/// Be aware that the formatting supported by this module is NOT compatible
+/// with printf(3) nor with Boost.Format. The general syntax for a
+/// placeholder in a formatting string is:
+///
+/// %[0][width][.precision]s
+///
+/// In particular, note that the only valid formatting specifier is %s: the
+/// library deduces what to print based on the type of the variable passed
+/// in, not based on what the format string says. Also, note that the only
+/// valid padding character is 0.

+/// Mechanism to format strings similar to printf.
+///
+/// A formatter always maintains the original format string but also holds a
+/// partial expansion. The partial expansion is immutable in the context of a
+/// formatter instance, but calls to operator% return new formatter objects with
+/// one less formatting placeholder.
+///
+/// In general, one can format a string in the following manner:
+///
+/// \code
+/// const std::string s = (formatter("%s %s") % "foo" % 5).str();
+/// \endcode
+///
+/// which, following the explanation above, would correspond to:
+///
+/// \code
+/// const formatter f1("%s %s");
+/// const formatter f2 = f1 % "foo";
+/// const formatter f3 = f2 % 5;
+/// const std::string s = f3.str();
+/// \endcode
+class formatter {
+ /// The original format string provided by the user.

+
+ /// The current "expansion" of the format string.
+ ///
+ /// This field gets updated on every call to operator%() to have one less
+ /// formatting placeholder.
+ std::string _expansion;
+
+ /// The position of _expansion from which to scan for placeholders.
+ std::string::size_type _last_pos;
+
+ /// The position of the first placeholder in the current expansion.
+ std::string::size_type _placeholder_pos;
+
+ /// The first placeholder in the current expansion.
+ std::string _placeholder;
+
