Me too. Thanks. The counted string vs. null terminated string issue turns out to be complicated. If you use only null terminated strings, appending a char to a string becomes very expensive, and "end()" is expensive to evaluate. If you use only counted strings, the interaction with subscripting is non-obvious. If you store a null, what happens? Are you allowed to store beyond the current length in use? Mixing C string and <string> semantics is messy. I ended up with a lazy evaluation scheme. John Nagle Team Overbot Reece Dunn wrote:

I agree (thanks for the info, though :)). What I am interested in is a comparison between my implementation at:
boost-sandbox/boost/fixed_string
and John Nagle's implementation at:
if possible.
