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.
