They aren’t standard (yet), but widely available are fmemopen and open_memstream. And asprintf can handle simpler cases. It’s worth familiarizing yourself with all the dynamic memory extensions functions and checking to see if they’re already available on your platform. More on reddit.com

Appending strings, built-in types, and lists: A deep dive on StringBuilder - Part 2
July 20, 2021 - For the separator, it calls the efficient Append(char*, int) overload we discussed at the start of this post. Note that ToString() is called on each value in values. For built-in types with specific overloads like int and decimal (that I showed in the previous section), this will result in an additional intermediate string representation. If you need to add these values to your StringBuilder in a hot-path, you might want to consider the hand-rolled approach, so you can take advantage of ISpanFormattable.TryFormat, e.g.

r/C_Programming on Reddit: String builders in C
June 3, 2023 -

I've written a bunch of code that prints values of various different types which works great but rather than printing to stdout I'd like to capture the result in a big string. In other languages this would be achieved by appending to a string builder or appending strings to an array and then concatenating them all. Is there an idiomatic way to do this in vanilla C? If not, what library would you recommend (M1/M2 Mac OS and Raspberry Pi)?

r/csharp on Reddit: StringBuilder vs basic string Concatenation
March 2, 2015 -

So I always hear that StringBuilder is the better, more efficient option... but is that true? How much more efficient is it? Is it worth it?

So lets say I have a method that returns a greeting. With old-school concatenation I can write something simple, and clear:

string _myName = "Bob";
public string GetGreeting(personName)
{
    return "Hello " + personName+ ", my name is " + _myName + "!";
}

With StringBuilder I have to do something much more space-consuming, which in turn is less clear.

string _myName = "Bob";
public string GetGreeting(personName)
{
    StringBuilding myString = new StringBuilder("Hello ");
    myString.Append(personName);
    myString.Append(", my name is ");
    myString.Append(myName);
    myString.Append("!");

    return myString.ToString();
}

To me, the second example is the worse code. It's harder to read, it took up more space, and it looks like it does far more work -- considering I had to convert myString back to .ToString() (although looks can be decieving) -- so is it always best to use StringBuilder?

(I'm a lone programmer at my shop so I don't have anyone to gather opinions from. Just web articles and you guys... really appreciate the help. I'm trying to be a better developer)

EDIT: Thanks everybody, as always you guys are a big help and a great source of information!

String Builder’s Append Vs Insert | by Lakshmanan Subbiah | Medium
February 28, 2021 - This intrigued me, So I started researching what they have been doing inside StringBuilder’s insert method that made it so bad. ... On every insert the string builder will perform an array copy operation for the remaining data inside the character array and place the characters of String inside the string builders character array. On the contrary, all that the append method does is copy the characters from string to string builder’s character array without any special operation.
