Can I challenge you in that this conclusion is wrong? Everywhere in the development world length of string always means "null termination is not included" because explicitly providing length means there can be no null termination at all.
Please show examples of code that led you to your conclusion and show how it fails without null termination. > leaving the reader to look through the description of how auto-detection of > length works in each case. You are a little inconsistent here. Auto-detection of length doesn't work when you explicitly provide string length, so you don't have to look through it.
