making code more complicated than necessary, which means higher maintenance cost.

inncluding all the array-boundary checking is easy for a newcomer?

The other issue as I said is that this library does not make it easy to embed the safe string in a struct and use it.

I don't want to embed a SafeString into the struct.
SafeStrings are used for all the string-manipulation before assigning the final character-sequence that is transmitted in the struct.

This final step is to use a strcpy-command to copy the character-sequence into the struct.
So only the higher RAM-usage remains.

The issue is duplication of memory - may be you can’t afford it (not enough RAM) plus moving all the bytes will cost cycles… you don’t need any of this, and if it is a very large buffer within the most inner loop being frequently called it’s a difference between a working and non working solution…

So take the few minutes it takes for you write down an example that uses c_strings and does all the boundary checking
