`_gcvt_s`

Converts a floating-point value to a string. This function is a version of _gcvt with security enhancements, as described in Security features in the CRT.

Syntax

errno_t _gcvt_s(
   char *buffer,
   size_t sizeInBytes,
   double value,
   int digits
);
template <size_t cchStr>
errno_t _gcvt_s(
   char (&buffer)[cchStr],
   double value,
   int digits
); // C++ only

Parameters

buffer
Buffer to store the result of the conversion.

sizeInBytes
Size of the buffer.

value
Value to be converted.

digits
Number of significant digits stored.

Return value

Zero if successful. If a failure occurs due to an invalid parameter (see the following table for invalid values), the invalid parameter handler is invoked as described in Parameter validation. If execution is allowed to continue, an error code is returned. Error codes are defined in Errno.h. For a listing of these errors, see errno, _doserrno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.

Error conditions

`buffer`	`sizeInBytes`	`value`	`digits`	Return	Value in `buffer`
`NULL`	any	any	any	`EINVAL`	Not modified.
Not `NULL` (points to valid memory)	zero	any	any	`EINVAL`	Not modified.
Not `NULL` (points to valid memory)	any	any	>= `sizeInBytes`	`EINVAL`	Not modified.

Security Issues

_gcvt_s can generate an access violation if buffer doesn't point to valid memory and isn't NULL.

Remarks

The _gcvt_s function converts a floating-point value to a character string (which includes a decimal point and a possible sign byte) and stores the string in buffer. buffer should be large enough to accommodate the converted value plus a terminating null character, which is appended automatically. A buffer of length _CVTBUFSIZE is sufficient for any floating point value. If a buffer size of digits + 1 is used, the function won't overwrite the end of the buffer, so be sure to supply a sufficient buffer for this operation. _gcvt_s attempts to produce digits digits in decimal format. If it can't, it produces digits digits in exponential format. Trailing zeros can be suppressed in the conversion.

In C++, using this function is simplified by a template overload; the overload can infer buffer length automatically, eliminating the need to specify a size argument. For more information, see Secure template overloads.

The debug version of this function first fills the buffer with 0xFE. To disable this behavior, use _CrtSetDebugFillThreshold.

By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this behavior, see Global state in the CRT.

Requirements

Routine	Required header	Optional header
`_gcvt_s`	<stdlib.h>	<error.h>

Example

// crt_gcvt_s.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main()
{
    char buf[_CVTBUFSIZE];
    int decimal;
    int sign;
    int err;

    err = _gcvt_s(buf, _CVTBUFSIZE, 1.2, 5);

    if (err != 0)
    {
        printf("_gcvt_s failed with error code %d\n", err);
        exit(1);
    }

    printf("Converted value: %s\n", buf);
}

Converted value: 1.2
