Motivation / Problem
StringParameters
'GetDataPointer
gives direct access to an array of data. This makes it harder to replace the underlying container.Description
Replace manually setting the offset to 0 and then calling
GetDataPointer
toGetPointerToOffset(0)
.Replace a custom copy of all remaining parameters with just a
StringParameters
of size 0 for{STRING}
. Those must not have any parameters, so just enforce that.Remove the now unused
GetDataPointer
.Limitations
Without #11003 there are a few (common) places that will not show the right data, and debug-spam that an "invalid string parameter" is tried to be read.
