Alternative to itoa() for converting integer to string C++?

#include <sstream>

int i = 5;
std::string s;
std::stringstream out;
out << i;
s = out.str();

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
    std::string foo = boost::lexical_cast<std::string>(argc);
}

char str[12];
int num = 3;
sprintf(str, "%d", num); // str now contains "3"

snprintf(str, sizeof(str), "%d", num);

std::stringstream str;
str << myint;
std::string result;
str >> result;

int i = 10;
std::string result;

result = str(boost::format("%1%", i));

fastformat::fmt(result, "{0}", i);
fastformat::write(result, i);
