Hopefully a pretty quick question.... GIven the following:
my Buf $b .= new([72, 105, 0, 32, 97, 103, 97, 105, 110, 0]); say $b.decode; I would expect this to print 'Hi'. Instead it prints 'Hi again'. https://docs.raku.org/type/Buf#(Blob)_method_decode The decode documentation for Buf only states that 'Applies an encoding to turn the blob into a Str <https://docs.raku.org/type/Str>; the encoding will be UTF-8 by default.' The zero (0) in that Buf should imply an end of string yet decode seems to want to decode the number of elements instead. Furthermore, If I 'say $b.decode.chars;' it counts the initial null as part of Str. In my mind, that means Str doesn't really mean string. So the question, how does one ACTUALLY decode what's in a buffer to a string where it adheres to the semantics of NULL termination for strings cleanly. Another question might be, should decode() follow null terminating semantics instead of number of elements in a given Buf. Thanks, Paul -- __________________ :(){ :|:& };:
