For user defined string literals, is the given string guaranteed null terminated if I use the following form of definition? I know that the size given with second parameter count without any termination if there is any.
void operator"" _x( const char* n, size_t s)
{
std::cout << "String: " << s << " Len: " << s << std::endl;
}
If I use this version of definition I see no null termination character!
template <class T, T... Chrs>
void operator""_s()
{
std::cout << __PRETTY_FUNCTION__ << std::endl;
}
user defined string literal, is string null terminated?
void operator"" _x( const char* n, size_t s)
Yes. String literals are null terminated and n points to such string literal.
If I use this version of definition I see no null termination character!
template <class T, T... Chrs> void operator""_s()
The standard does not allow string literal templates. There is the document N3599 which proposes its addition to the standard, and it was intended for C++14 but there was no consensus and it hasn't become part of the standard yet. GCC and Clang at least appear to have already implemented it as a language extension.
Indeed, the literal operator template does not receive the null character as one of its arguments.
Proposal N3599:
the remaining arguments are the code units in the string literal (excluding its terminating null character).
