Is there an analogue of std::string in the windows kernel level driver?

Question

C++ / C#

I want to transfer the function to the kernel level driver, the function returns a string value. Are there analogues std::stringfor the kernel?

Answer 1

In WinAPI, even in user space there is no analogue of std::string.
What can we say about kernel space - everything is very poor there.
Rewrite the function to use C strings and a fixed size buffer. In addition, driving the std::string functionality into the driver seems redundant - too much dynamic memory is used in the string, which reduces the performance of the code, this is usually contraindicated in drivers.

Answer 2

not sure if the answer is string from ntdef.h ?

Answer 3

There is UNICODE_STRING: see .
