Correct, although the :-( is rather misplaced, because this is a *good* thing. Consider the widget just takes your string. It still doesn't know you are modifying the contents so you still have to use some sort of explicit notification. Not speaking about changes in length that require memory reallocation. Not speaking about locking when some widget's function could be executed while you are modifying the string... In other words, plain C strings typically have only one owner (at any time point) who can modify it and who is responsible for freeing the string because other approaches are hard to get right. The ownwer is either you or the widget, not both.
