Endianness is already take care of, in the sense that the string is encoded in the target's endianness already. However, that makes calling iconv more difficult, because that has us going from target's endianness to UTF-8, which will be a pain. As only developers do read tree dumps, I think having a lot of \0 in them is fine. FX -- FX Coudert http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~uccafco/
