Why am I only getting a partial string here?

Hello, I’m trying to handle errors using SDL2 and I’m getting some garbled text here when an error is caught and I try to print it. I’m sure there’s something simple I’m doing wrong, but I’m not super familiar with handling something like this. 

using SimpleDirectMediaLayer

font = SimpleDirectMediaLayer.TTF_OpenFont("F:\\Projects\\Julia\\julGame\\src\\editor\\Editor\\src\\..\\Fonts\\Round9x13.ttf", 12)

if font == C_NULL
   println(unsafe_string(SimpleDirectMediaLayer.SDL_GetError()))
end




The error I get is:

Couldn’t open F:\Projects\Julia\julGame\s




If I extend the string length to 84 (which should be the length of the entire error) it looks like this:

F:\Projects\Julia\julGame\s�������♣����������▲�����▲����☺�������`�M5




The error itself is not an issue. I can fix it. But I would like to be able to see the entire thing when I catch it. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong here? Thank you.




FYI, the SDL_GetError function looks like this:

function SDL_GetError()
    ccall((:SDL_GetError, libsdl2), Ptr{Cchar}, ())
end
