But that doesn't look like a real replacement. Shouldn't there be a stringWithCString:length:encoding What am I missing? Pointers? Comments? Suggestions?
My guess is that in deprecating this they also took the opportunity to remove an API that really doesn't make sense. A string in C is defined to be terminated by a NULL byte, so any array of characters that contains NULL bytes that doesn't terminate them isn't a C string. Perhaps also it eliminates a possible source of buffer overruns that are known to be a security issue.
If you have an array of characters that contain NULL bytes you'll have to scan them into a string in a different way.
