A long time ago my solution was ptr+len but I allocated 1 more byte so that if a string had to be given to libc, I could terminate it at that time. No need for a copy then.

BASIC strings in Windows -- you store the length in the 4 bytes before the pointer to the string and put a null terminator at the end.
