I wonder.. in all these years.. have they ever thought about using a convention in C where the length is embedded as a 32/64bit value at the pointed location of a pointer, followed by the array contents?
Sometimes called "Pascal strings" (actually, IIRC, the length is at the address /before/ the one pointed by the pointer). One of the important diffs between C & Pascal from the practical pov.
Actually, it's the same diff as C arrays vs true arrays like D's. Denis -- _________________ vita es estrany spir.wikidot.com
