How to construct a std::string from a std::vector<char>?

Short of (the obvious) building a C style string first then using that to create a std::string, is there a quicker/alternative/"better" way to initialize a string from a vector of chars?

Solution

  • Well, the best way is to use the following constructor:

    template<class InputIterator> string (InputIterator begin, InputIterator end);

    which would lead to something like:

    std::vector<char> v;
std::string str(v.begin(), v.end());
