Yes, but: Can I use any code-unit, even so the function indicates that only "char" is allowed? What, if I have uint32_t or uint16_t code-unit types? (I guess, I can use them anyway after a type cast.) The description is not clear about this, though. Also, consider that Unicode NULL (U+0000) is a regular character in Unicode - which conflicts with C strings which shall be zero terminated. So, strictly, I do NOT have C strings. I would rather prefer a function like: void CFStringAppendBytes ( CFMutableStringRef theString, const void* bytes, CFIndex numBytes, CFStringEncoding encoding ); Andreas > Regards > > Jonathan Mitchell > Mugginsoft LLP > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) > > Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list. > Contact the moderators at cocoa-dev-admins(at)lists.apple.com > > Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: > https://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/cocoa-dev/agrosam%40onlinehome.de > > This email sent to agro...@onlinehome.de _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
