`copy` overloads

== Synopses

Declared in `<bdlb_string.h>`

Create a null‐terminated copy of the specified `string`, using the specified `basicAllocator` to supply memory, and return the address of the newly‐created modifiable string. The string that is returned is owned by the caller. The behavior is undefined unless `string.size() <= INT_MAX` and `basicAllocator` is non‐null. Note that if `string` contains any embedded null ('0') characters they will be propagated to the copy.

Create a null‐terminated copy of the specified `string`, using the specified `basicAllocator` to supply memory, and return the address of the newly‐created modifiable string. The string that is returned is owned by the caller. The behavior is undefined unless `bsl::strlen(string) <= INT_MAX` and `basicAllocator` is non‐null.

Create a null‐terminated copy of the specified `string` having the specified `length` (in bytes), using the specified `basicAllocator` to supply memory, and return the address of the newly‐created modifiable string. The string that is returned is owned by the caller. The behavior is undefined unless `0 <= length` and `basicAllocator` is non‐null. Note that if `string` contains any embedded null ('0') characters they will be propagated to the copy.
