Thread: string manipulation

It shouldn't be a general problem, the following program runs fine.
Make sure the pointer you receive contains what you want it to
hold. Using assertions like above is a good method for verifying that.

PHP Code:

#include <string.h>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

string test( const char* tocopy )
{
    string s = tocopy;

    if( strcmp( s.c_str(), tocopy ) != 0 )
    {
        cout << s;
    }

    return s;
}


int main()
{
    char szBuffer[1000];

    memset( szBuffer, 0, 999 );
    memset( szBuffer, 'A', 900 );

    char* pc = szBuffer;

    string str = test( pc );

    if( strcmp( str.c_str(), pc ) != 0 )
    {
        cout << str;
    }

    cout << endl << "the end. no errors.";

    return 0;
}
