> In this case, no one is manipulating the string until (I assume) after it's converted to std::string, so we're not removing risky accesses in that way.

Maybe the solution is to return some kind of string (std::string or llvm::SmallString) by value or by const reference?

> If the API were returning a const char * that we then did a bunch of find first, split at, strlen, etc on, then this would make more sense.

At least StringRef has the `Length` inside (we do not need to call strlen or someting) and according to documentation it can handle non-null terminated strings.

  /// StringRef - Represent a constant reference to a string, i.e. a character
  /// array and a length, which need not be null terminated.

Offtop: Is there any discussion platform where I can share some ideas? I have some of them how to refactor TargetInfo classes, but it's a major (and maybe breaking) change I have to discuss prior to implement.
