I don't get it, what do you mean by the assertion:
assert(t[9] == '\0');
t == "head-abc-tail"
Not all characters can be printed such as NULL.
[104, 101, 97, 100, 45, 97, 98, 99, 0, 0, 0, 45, 116, 97, 105,
108]
So you mean inside the writeln() call, the 0s are skipped?
Well, if I use `string t` as filename, it will try to looking
for a file called:
"head-abc\0\0\0-tail" instead of just "head-abc-tail" ?
or it's platform dependent?
Then how can I construct `t`? to make this assertion true:
assert(t == "head-abc-tail"); // failed!
