I would really appreciate that. And I do understand your intention is good.

The problem I see with geeky forums is there are just too many people trying to force their ideas on you at every step and expect you to implement those. So it's kind of a standard reply from my side.

It’s a bit too late for me to be writing string manipulation code in C, but I’ll see if I can take a look at this tomorrow. It’ll probably just be a replacement of the copying part with memcpy, and a benchmark if I can find one.

Sure thing! Thanks a lot!
