[Lldb-commits] [PATCH] Fix FileSpec::GetPath to return null-terminated strings

[Zachary Turner]

To be honest I would like to ban the use of raw cstring functions.  LLVM
has a wealth of classes to help with formatting strings, that I imagine
will cover 99% or more of use cases.  LLDB doesn't use them enough. I
consider these bugs in LLDB that should be fixed.  In cases where we really
do need a function for it, I think we should add it to LLVM, not to LLDB.
A quick summary of replacements is:

char stack_buffer[n];   // Use llvm::SmallString<n>
const char* foo;          // Use llvm::StringRef foo;
strcpy, strncpy, etc     // Use member functions of SmallString / StringRef
void foo(char *, int len);   // Use void foo(llvm::SmallVectorImpl<char>
&buf);
void foo(const char * foo);     // Use void foo(llvm::StringRef foo);
sprintf, snprintf, etc       // Use llvm::raw_ostream
