Is this code safe? hv_iterkey returns a string and a length, but the
string may contain ASCII NUL characters, and hence I cannot use
caml_copy_string directly.
Rich.
CAMLprim value
perl4caml_hv_iterkey (value hev)
{
CAMLparam1 (hev);
CAMLlocal1 (strv);
HE *he = He_val (hev);
I32 len;
char *str = hv_iterkey (he, &len);
strv = caml_alloc_string (len);
memcpy (String_val (strv), str, len);
CAMLreturn (strv);
}

I don't see anything wrong with this code.
