Issue writing tag in a different language - somebody please help

[Stephen F. Booth]

Just for posterity, a more general approach for converting NSString * or
CFStringRef to a TagLib::String is posted below.  It could be made more
efficient with a stack buffer of a fixed size and iterative conversion but
this works well enough.

TagLib::String  TagLib::StringFromCFString(CFStringRef s)
{
	if(nullptr == s)
		return String::null;

	CFRange range = CFRangeMake(0, CFStringGetLength(s));
	CFIndex count;

	// Determine the length of the string in UTF-8
	CFStringGetBytes(s, range, kCFStringEncodingUTF8, 0, false, nullptr,
0, &count);

	char *buf = new char [count + 1];

	// Convert it
	CFIndex used;
	CFIndex converted = CFStringGetBytes(s, range, kCFStringEncodingUTF8,
0, false, (UInt8 *)buf, count, &used);

	if(CFStringGetLength(s) != converted)
		;

	// Add terminator
	buf[used] = '\0';

	String result(buf, String::UTF8);

	delete [] buf;

	return result;
}
