Nullable value defining a pointer+length view into a UTF-8 encoded string.
Values passed into the API may use the special length value WGPU_STRLEN to indicate a null-terminated string. Non-null values passed out of the API (for example as callback arguments) always provide an explicit length and may or may not be null-terminated.
Some inputs to the API accept null values. Those which do not accept null values "default" to the empty string when null values are passed.
Values are encoded as follows:
{NULL, WGPU_STRLEN}
: the null value.{non_null_pointer, WGPU_STRLEN}
: a null-terminated string view.{any, 0}
: the empty string.{NULL, non_zero_length}
: not allowed (null dereference).{non_null_pointer, non_zero_length}
: an explictly-sized string view with size non_zero_length
(in bytes).For info on how this is used in various places, see Strings.
