Hi Nat,

Nope, sorry. If you pass a fixed-length array, a proper C++ library
*should* be sensitive to its max. Anything else is unsafe and should
be discouraged.

 

What if I pass fixed-length array without actually knowing that?

There are many C libraries out there assuming char * and char [] are interchangeable.

These libraries are well documented.
