Are you sure that the call requires the string to be null terminated?
I do not know that winapi function, but this might work:
bool test(HDC dc, string str, SIZE* s)
{
auto wstr = to!(wchar[])str;
GetTextExtentPoint32W(dc, wstr.ptr, wstr.length, s);
...
It doesn't need to be null-terminated for that function.
Shouldn't you use to!wstring though?!
It has to be copied anyway, so there is no real difference. I just did
not know the signature of that function, and if it had been missing the
const, wstring would not have worked. But if there is a const, wstring
is indeed superior because shorter and clearer.
