[go-nuts] correct way to convert wchar_t* to string ?

[Mark]

In a Windows DLL that I'm accessing from Go one of the functions returns a 
wchar_t* containing some text. This comes back as a uintptr in r1. Here's 
my conversion function -- is it reasonable?

func CwcharToString(p uintptr) string {
    if p == 0 {
        return ""
    }
    uints := make([]uint16, 0, 65000) // Max chars accepted
    for p := uintptr(unsafe.Pointer(p)); ; p += 2 {
        u := *(*uint16)(unsafe.Pointer(p))
        if u == 0 {
            return string(utf16.Decode(uints))
        }
        uints = append(uints, u)
    }
}

Thanks!
