Determining the character length of a invalid UTF-8 string is quite useless.
Because it's not about getting a correct result then, but about not crashing
due to invalid memory access.
But invalid memory access takes place anyway (within UTF8CharacterLength).
Why do you say so ? Unless you give a really bogus pointer, one of p[0] till
p[3] is guaranteed to have #0 in it.
In such a case, no scan of the next byte is done ?
Sorry, I missinterpreted the code.
You are right.
I now see that the zero byte would stop any futher access to bytes after it.
