Is raw string literal null terminated like normal string literal?

I know that a string literal is always null terminated, even "" has a length of 1.

Is it the same case with raw string literal, ex: does R"()" has a length of 1?

Solution

  • Raw string literals are just normal C strings that ignore escapes, which means they're still null-terminated. It's not like "foo"s, which is an actual c++ std::string, which isn't necessarily null-terminated.
