Creating a std::string from unsigned char[4097] ?

[Angus Leeming]

Given this, which is MacOS X code to fill 'application_support':

    unsigned char application_support[PATH_MAX + 1];
    OSStatus const status_code =
        FSRefMakePath(&fsref, application_support, PATH_MAX);

what's the correct way to create a std::string?

    std::string(application_support) fails.

error: invalid conversion from `unsigned char*' to `const char*'

I think that it's safe to cast, but am I correct?

    std::string(reinterpret_cast<char const *>(application_support));
