afaik, CStringLen don't require zero byte at the end of string. So the following implementation will be much faster and still correct (not tested, it's just sketch):
Well spotted! I've applied this patch, with a tiny tweak (you missed a withForeignPtr in useAsCStringLen).
thanks. after writing this letter i spotted unsafeUseAsCStringLen and used it. now i'm curious about having these 4 functions: useAsCString useAsCStringLen unsafeUseAsCString unsafeUseAsCStringLen and differences between their behavior. may be, it will be better to keep only first two functions, with semantics already implemented (with my patch) - `useAsCString` add zero byte while useAsCStringLen doesn't ? i copy this letter to libraries list in hope that other FPS developers may clear the question -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
