@Adrian W. This is valid C. Exact length strings are special cased and NUL is omitted for them. This generally an unwise practice but can be useful in cases like populating header structs that use FourCC "strings".

You are right. This is valid C, will compile and behaves as kkaaii described. The reason for the downvotes (not mine...) is probably rather that this answer does not answer OP's question in any way.
