except that the C struct does not have the array length at position

Well, the problem is that you can't use those handy Pascal strings that
much anymore these days. Ever since you need to use UTF8 to properly
represent textual context, this all has become one hell of a mess,
pretty leveling the playing field when it comes to handling such strings
with (Free)Pascalor C...
