Hi, I have written a function to convert a C string to a D string.
I did not use to!string because it allocates a new string while
what I want is a dynamic array of type char[] pointing to the C
string.
auto cstr2dstr(inout(char)* cstr)
{
import core.stdc.string: strlen;
return cstr ? cstr[0 .. strlen(cstr)] : "";
}
As D newbie I'd like to know if this is the correct usage of
inout (it is needed to accept without distinction char*,
const(char)* and immutable(char)* right ?) and if there is
already a function in the standard D library which do that
conversion.
