Really? AFAIK C++ strings handle null's just fine... they're
pascal-style strings, not c-style strings.
$ cat test.cc
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::string a("a\0b", 3);
std::cout << a.size() << std::endl;
return 0;
}
$ g++ -o test test.cc
$ ./test
3
Or are you saying that the decoder is buggy and somehow doesn't
actually populate the string object correctly?
