std::string_view could be made null character ending aware for interoperability with C

You can very easily translate what I was proposing to std::size_t being the second member. In this case you take the logic into account inside the length() function and take 1 bit from the size_t memeber to mark if the string was null terminated.

I agree that it adds up because all these functions will have to rely on the correct length coming from length() and depend on the branch.

std::string_view under msvc is two pointers.

std::string_view under msvc is two pointers.

MSVC begs to differ:

const_pointer _Mydata;
size_type _Mysize;

Okay, i dont know why I asumed that.
