So a lovely C library does its own opaque allocation, and
provides access to the malloc'd memory, and that memory's length.
Instead of copying the results into garbage collected memory
(which would probably be smart) I was thinking about creating a
structure like:
struct WrappedString {
byte* ptr;
size_t length;
}
And then implementing opIndex for it, and opEquals for all the
different string types, and conversions to those types, and then
it occurred to me that this sounds like a lot of work. Has
anybody done this already? Made a pointer/length pair, that acts
like a string?
