Right, but then you are dealing with a static string, and not a dynamic one. 
Which raises issues of buffer overflows, etc. As long as you know the length 
of the buffer cannot be exceeded you're ok. But it's often dificult to be 
sure. The standard C++ string and strstream classes prevent such overflowing 
by handling the memory allocation internally.
