You could just wrap that pointer in a class that describes what it is - ideally at the type level (Utf8String, etc). Each string class knows how to convert from other string types, and any library calls get wrapped in a method that is either templated on the string input type(s) or takes a BaseString* and calls virtual conversion functions. Or force a manual call to convert each time so that your fellow developers know when slow conversions are happening for sure. It is a crappy situation though. Pick where you want your pain point to be. |
