Hi, The description for scm_to_locale_stringbuf doesn't specify what happens when the final multibyte character doesn't fit in the provided string buffer.
size_t scm_to_locale_stringbuf (SCM str, char *buf, size_t max_len) Say the locale is UTF-8, and the last position in BUF would be the first byte of a two-byte character. The right thing is not to copy that first byte of the character into the last position of BUF, but, instead copy a '\0'. But there is no way to indicate to the caller that the final '\0' is padding and not a true '\0'. Ideas? Thanks, Mike Gran
