Hi,

when I installed that patch it appeared to me that naturally all string
constants ought to be zero-terminated.

But since we have now the STRING_CST semantic changes installed,
which do equally support both zero and non-zero terminated string constants,
I want to revert this again:

         * tree-ssa-forwprop.c (simplify_builtin_call): Don't create a not NUL
         terminated string literal.

So unless there are reasons to keep this zero-terminated string constant,
I am going to revert this patch today evening, after another
Bootstrapped and reg-tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.


Thanks
Bernd.
