I’m asserting that the CRT API design is bad. And following up that C++’s isn’t any better. std::string does better facilitate copying strings. But string manipulation with std::string is really really bad. I’m also saying that the concept of defining an API but not providing an implementation is insane. That is, imho, extremely inappropriate at the language level. Differences in behavior between C and C++ STL implementations on different platforms is infamous. And almost entirely unnecessary.
