I want to turn a non-nil terminated c string (such as the one

stringWithCString:length: is deprecated in 10.4, what is the correct
way to do this?

Creating an NSString then asking for a substring seems wasteful as
the initial string could be huge.  And inserting a null character
into the c string doesn't work since I could be corrupting memory.
Any suggestions?

"non-nil terminated c string"? That isn't a c string. Can you better describe the source of this "string".

Anyway review the recommendation in the docs of what you can use...
