That's an older version, though; the strings have no length field, and you said you were putting one in. Should I do that?
I have been busy with other things. I have finally gotten around to updating the code, which now includes: * internal length tracking * null-termination as a given (i.e. it will no longer work in data structure headers for signature checking, etc.) * safe_strings.hpp uses your strategy of putting the C-string functions in the global namespace (I would have liked a better approach to this). #include <boost/fixed_string/safe_strings.hpp> // ... boost::char_string< 15 > cstr; strcpy( cstr, "Meine Grosse Welt!" ); std::cout << cstr << '\n'; sprintf( cstr, "Hello %d Worlds!", 10 ); std::cout << cstr << '\n'; Results in: Meine Grosse W Hello 10 World Regards, Reece _________________________________________________________________ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger
