[jira] Commented: (AXIS2C-474) Use pointer plus length instead of
nul-terminated string for text content
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-474?page=comments#action_12459873 ]
Samisa Abeysinghe commented on AXIS2C-474:
------------------------------------------
I guess the advantage is the reduced number of calls to strlen. Is there any other rationale for your suggestion.

> Nul-terminated strings are fine for short strings, but for potentially long strings, it's better to use a pointer plus a length. (Sometimes it's good to nul-terminate it as well as providing a length.) One case where I would in particular suggest using a length is for axiom_text. At the same time, other functions that deal with XML text content (such as axiom_xml_writer::write_characters) should also be fixed.
