Re: [boost] cstring_view

Exactly. But then it should just be called cstring_wrapper – calling it cstring_view seems to impart qualities to it that it doesn’t have – like I would assume that I could get a cstring_view that is a subview of an existing cstring_view for instance.

I guess when I read the impl I think to myself: What this is missing is a

What value added is there to this impl except that it is smaller than

boost::string_view due to lacking a _length member?

If you’re careful and don’t do much with it, it can hand you back a null terminated string.
