Interestingly, that page states, "You can also try submitting a feature request to our
ticket system, but experience has shown that posting to either of the mailing lists is
usually a more effective way to get attention of boost developers."

I don't see a problem with 1. It makes your conversion intentions clear,
and I don't find it onerous in the least.
(My opinion, of course.)

Upon some reflection, neither of these look natural to me.
What would look natural is the following, implemented using C++11 variadic
templates (and then the return value could be a string in the first place):
set(dict2, "link", boost::format("../../?q=%s", name));
Regards,
Nate

Yes, that'd be even better, but variadic templates won't be an option
(for me) any time soon.

Note that Boost.Format works differently depending on the locale of the
Output Stream. So, I guess your proposal is not an option.
IIRC, when you use explicitly the str function you are stating explicitly
that you want to use the default locale.
I don't see yet why
set(dict2, "link", str(format("../../?q=%s") % name));
is not satisfactory.
Best,
Vicente

Argh, those silly locales again.
It's still worse than 2.

Which is worse than:
set(dict2, "link", "../../?q=" + name);
Facetiousness aside, how would wstrings be dealt with?

Yeah, hmm...
Same as before?

Wasn't there recently another thread about this? If you didn't read that thread, it referredto another thread from 7 years ago about the same thing. Boost.Format already provides amember function and a free function to convert a format object to a string. The conversionsthrow if the format object hasn't had all of its parameters filled in. You want to add a thirdmethod? Unlike int vs. double, a formatting object and a string are NOT conceptually the samething, so adding an implicit conversion would be bad. (Actually, we should limit implicitconversions in general; so converting weakly-connected types should definitely be out.)

Yes, I do indeed. Both forms of str require extra parens and is a bit awkward for
in-place formatting of strings, in particular for error messages like the argument to an
exception constructor.
Would it go over well if we _removed_ the ability for ostream to take a formatter without
an extra function call? After all, you could use str for that too! My impression is that
the ostream use-case was thought about, but the exception case was not.
I do admit that for a named string variable, initializing it using free-function str isn't
too bad.

Probably not. Why break old code?
But it could be better.
That might a bit problematic. :p
Samuel Krempp is listed as the author of that lib.

Yes, please
Why would that be bad? The conversion from format to string is well
defined and used (very) frequently. It's also cumbersome at the
moment.
Compare:
1: set(dict2, "link", (boost::format("../../?q=%s") % name).str());
2: set(dict2, "link", boost::format("../../?q=%s") % name);

I've submitted a changed file (one line added, plus comments) as Ticket #6553.
As far as I know, other threads have just complained about the lack and lamented it. So
let's _do_ it already. Is there a committee, an official owner of that component, or
what? How do we get that change accepted in the official build?

It would be better to submit patches rather than modified files.
To create a patch, you can use "svn diff".
Plus, adding updates to the documentation and tests
make your work more appealing.
Regards,
Michel
