Can you explain this a bit more? I would have expected this to be:
```
struct CStringImpl {
  size_t length;
  char buffer[];
};
```
with a flexible array member. This always allocates 4-8 bytes for the string length and runs into out-of-bounds array behavior because the final member is a fixed length array rather than a FAM.
