这段时间，总是要使用char或者char* 赋值给std::string，踩了不少坑。于是写了个测试代码，如果你不想看我的代码，可以跳到下面直接看总结：
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
string str1;
cout << "str1:" << str1 << " length: " << str1.length() << " size: " << str1.size() << " capacity: " << str1.capacity() << endl;
string str2("hello");
cout << "str2:" << str2 << " length: " << str2.length() << " size: " << str2.size() << " capacity: " << str2.capacity() << endl;
string str3(4, 'A');
cout << "str3:" << str3 << " length: " << str3.length() << " size: " << str3.size() << " capacity: " << str3.capacity() << endl;
string str4(str2);
cout << "str4:" << str4 << " length: " << str4.length() << " size: " << str4.size() << " capacity: " << str4.capacity() << endl;
cout << "-----------------------------------------------" << endl;

}
输出结果是：
现总结如下：
1. 将char*赋值给std::string如果不指定长度，则会默认以\0截断（ASCII码值为0）；如果指定的长度超过char*字符串的长度，用std::cout系列的函数输出时，会把不属于该char*之后的内存值打印出来。而对于printf系列的函数来打印std::string时遇到\0也会截断，因而不能完全显示。这点在打印或输出到日志时，这类字符串时需要特别注意。
2. 如果是单个字符和一个字符串赋值给std::string写法是有区别的 —— 对于char，数目是第一个参数，对于char* 数目是第二个参数。
例如，假定ptsr是一个字符串或者字符。如果pstr是一个字符串，那么要写成string(pstr, n)，如果pstr是一个字符，那么要写成string(n, pstr)，而此时string(pstr, n)是一个错误的写法，可能会导致你的程序产生莫名其妙的问题，因为如果pstr是一个负值，负数转换成无符号整数size_t类型，n将非常大，会导致构造字符串时length非常大导致std::string构造时抛出异常。看这两种初始化的构造函数签名：
string (const char* s, size_t n);
string(size_t n, char c);
请注意这个区别！！特别容易想当然地写错。如果pstr对应数值比较小的正数，可能不会产生异常，但其实程序状态也不是你想要的。如果是负数，程序将直接产生异常。抛出：std::length_error 。所以出现这个异常信息，你就要好好检查下你初始化std::string的长度信息了。
