Filenames are easy, just allocate a large fixed size buffer, then fill in.
open(). reuse buffer.
char s[] = "filename.ext";
foo(s[0..8]);
But hey, it's simpler, faster, less code, less bug prone, easier to understand
and uses less memory to:
1. strlen
2. allocate
3. memcpy
4. append a 0
foo
5. free
instead, right?
I know you said "just allocate a large fixed size buffer", but I hope you
realize that such practice is the root cause of most buffer overflow bugs,
because the "640K is enough for anyone" just never works.
And your "just use a struct" argument also promptly falls apart with:
foo("string")
Now, I know that you'll never concede destruction, after all, this is the
internet, but give it up :-)
