Re: should strings always be 0-terminated?

Just to make it clear - there's no need to change any code that relies on the terminating NULL - that terminating NULL is mandatory. Whenever possible, though, it's recommended to use binary-safe methods, based on the length property, which would both perform better and faster. Zeev At 15:19 12-11-00, Stig Venaas wrote:

A quick question: Should the string pointed to by value.str.val always be 0-terminated? Or should all code accessing the pval/zval use value.str.len? Since strings sometimes contain binary data, I would think value.str.len was used, but I'm not surprised if the 0 is necessary. Should all code relying on a terminating 0 be changed?
