string-handling

To safely handle ovx_string_t values in C and C++, use explicit length-aware operations, std::string_view conversions, and ownership-aware copying to prevent incorrect string access and lifetime issues.

Your ovx_string_t value causes memory bugs because of incorrect assumptions about null termination and API-owned storage. Validate string storage patterns and apply explicit length handling before printing or comparing.

The best way to convert an API-owned ovx_string_t to std::string_view is by applying explicit length-aware operations to ensure you correctly map the API string storage without invalidating the original data.

You need to copy an ovx_string_t value instead of using a string view when preserving API string values beyond the API's lifetime is required, ensuring safe storage without introducing data handling bugs.

String handling in ovrtx does require explicit length validation for API strings to avoid unsafe operations and incorrect assumptions about null termination when integrating APIs that return ovx_string_t values.

You cannot use standard C string functions with ovx_string_t values directly, as they assume null termination. You must use explicit length-aware operations and ownership-aware copying to avoid lifetime issues.
