If I use C++ strings, I have to convert from one representation to the other representation. In the case of chat TCP server that is after recv() convert from C-string to C++-string and then before send() convert from C++-string to C-string. If you do some processing, this is a good approach. But if you are only moving data around, the conversion is questionable. | |
