I tried what you said:

char* ptr = toStringz(path);
SDL_LoadBMP(ptr);

and made a check to see if the pointer is null, which it isn't, but I'm unable to
inspect is value, I haven't a debugger at the moment, could you recommend one ?

I also made the string a char[] and tested to see if that made a difference.

I think it may be something to do with SDL itself. I tried calling another
function, SDL_GetTicks(), and that's causing problems as well.

I read the docs earlier and found the same thing about literals being null
terminated but not regular strings,
which explains why they work.
Double check after double check, I am also certain that no other code is messing
with it and changing values.
