Converts a double number to a string. This function is a version of _ecvt with security enhancements as described in Security features in the CRT.

Syntax

errno_t _ecvt_s(
   char * buffer,
   size_t sizeInBytes,
   double value,
   int count,
   int *dec,
   int *sign
);
template <size_t size>
errno_t _ecvt_s(
   char (&buffer)[size],
   double value,
   int count,
   int *dec,
   int *sign
); // C++ only

Parameters

buffer
Filled with the pointer to the string of digits, the result of the conversion.

sizeInBytes
Size of the buffer in bytes.

value
Number to be converted.

count
Number of digits stored.

dec
Stored decimal-point position.

sign
Sign of the converted number.

Return value

Zero if successful. The return value is an error code if there's a failure. Error codes are defined in Errno.h. For more information, see errno, _doserrno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.

If there's an invalid parameter, as listed in the following table, this function invokes the invalid parameter handler, as described in Parameter validation. If execution is allowed to continue, this function sets errno to EINVAL, and returns EINVAL.

Error conditions

`buffer`	`sizeInBytes`	`value`	`count`	`dec`	`sign`	Return value	Value in `buffer`
`NULL`	any	any	any	any	any	`EINVAL`	Not modified.
Not `NULL` (points to valid memory)	<=0	any	any	any	any	`EINVAL`	Not modified.
any	any	any	any	`NULL`	any	`EINVAL`	Not modified.
any	any	any	any	any	`NULL`	`EINVAL`	Not modified.

Security issues

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

Remarks

The _ecvt_s function converts a floating-point number to a character string. The value parameter is the floating-point number to be converted. This function stores up to count digits of value as a string and appends a null character ('\0'). If the number of digits in value exceeds count, the low-order digit is rounded. If there are fewer than count digits, the string is padded with zeros.

Only digits are stored in the string. The position of the decimal point and the sign of value can be obtained from dec and sign after the call. The dec parameter points to an integer value giving the position of the decimal point with respect to the beginning of the string. A 0 or negative integer value indicates that the decimal point lies to the left of the first digit. The sign parameter points to an integer that indicates the sign of the converted number. If the integer value is 0, the number is positive. Otherwise, the number is negative.

A buffer of length _CVTBUFSIZE is sufficient for any floating-point value.

The difference between _ecvt_s and _fcvt_s is in the interpretation of the count parameter. _ecvt_s interprets count as the total number of digits in the output string, whereas _fcvt_s interprets count as the number of digits after the decimal point.

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.

Example

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

int main( )
{
    char * buf = 0;
    int decimal;
    int sign;
    int err;

    buf = (char*) malloc(_CVTBUFSIZE);
    err = _ecvt_s(buf, _CVTBUFSIZE, 1.2, 5, &decimal, &sign);

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

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

Converted value: 12000
