No, it does not. You have jumped to an unwarranted conclusion.

If you just use 'copy' locally then it does not have to use heap. However most popular implementation, which name I wouldn't mention here, probably does use heap even in this case.
And if you want to return 'copy' to the caller or to pass it to different task then all reasonable implementations are extremely likely to use heap.

As to garbage collection, it's not necessary, but in complex long-running program you don't really have any other choice if you don't force programmers into using generic procedure Un*****ed_De*********on. And if you do force then into using it then your programs are no longer "safe" to the same degree of safety as GC-based languages.

No.

You've posted at least two more followups without telling us what
language you're talking about.

So, what language are you talking about?  I, for one, am not interested

I'm pretty sure it is ADA.

   type ALIs_Record is record
      Afile : File_Name_Type;
      --  Name of ALI file

      Ofile_Full_Name : Name_Id;
      --  Full name of object file corresponding to the ALI file

      Sfile : File_Name_Type;
      --  Name of source file that generates this ALI file (which is equal
      --  to the name of the source file in the first unit table entry for
      --  this ALI file, since the body if present is always first).
...


Which would make the above example simple string assignment; in C

strcpy(copy, source);

I believe that ADA strings, however, have an implicit length field.

It's spelled "Ada"; the name is not an acronym.

That's certainly one possibility, but the question I'm asking is
not which languages Bill *might* be talking about.  I see no point
in continuing the discussion unless Bill tells us which language
he *is* talking about.

Not exactly.  It's more complicated than that.

With Bill there is no "might". You can be 100% sure.

I don't know who Bill is, so no, I can't be 100% sure until and unless
he chooses to speak for himself.  If he doesn't, that's fine; I'll just
lose all interest in discussing it with him.

There are actually several kinds of string type.
One has an explicit length field.
One is actually allocated on the heap.
String, as you say, may have an implicit length field,
although the compiler can discard that if the length is
known at compile type.

It pretty obvious.

'copy' is the name of a varible of type String.
String is mos likely an array of characters.
'Source' is also a name of a string varible.

So, 'copy' will become a string varible with a copy of the content of 
'source', and it will have the sme size. and same boundaries.
(an array does not have to start with index zero)

strings are mutable as any array.
max size is dependend on heap-size.

I'm sorry, but the above is why this sort of discussion never ends. When 
someone is intimately familiar with the syntax of a language, the 
meaning/functioning of a line like the above - or, say, in C, something 
like *a++=b(&c--) - _is_ obvious; to anyone else, it is far from so. And 
the person to whom it _is_ second nature sees no point in explaining it 
with a comment, either: (a) it just _does_ seem so obvious to them, (b) 
they'd actually find it difficult _to_ explain, in much the same way as 
describing the mechanics of walking isn't easy, even though most of us 
can do it. (Forgetting it took us some _years_ to learn!)

   You're generous to ascribe honest intentions. It's
usually just a case of swagger: "I dare you to grovel
and ask me what this means." People do it. Officials
do it. Trades do it. Just look at the tech world,
"leveraging solutions across the enterprise". Their
jargon is gibberish to everyone else but they think
they sound technical.

   My favorite example is "micturate". Medical doctors
like to use obscure words to sound authoritative. So
when the general public got used to "urinate" they had
to switch to micturate to make sure people wouldn't
know what they were talking about. I'm waiting for
penis and vagina to get overused to the point that
they sound like swears and can no longer be used in
polite company. (It's getting close to that time, I think.)
Somehow the experts will cook up somethnig more
obscure, probably derived from Greek, so that doctors
and TV commentators can talk about sex in an offical
capacity.

I read somewhere that in some African countries where English is spoken 
(maybe as a second language), the "correct" words such as "penis" and 
vagina" are regarded as foul-mouthed and offensive, whereas our four-letter 
words are regarded as the correct ones to use in polite company.

Reminds me of that Greek chap in Shirley Valentine who told Shirley that he 
wanted to "make fuck" with her.

That depends on exactly what your line does. (Which actually is not that 
clear: is String the name of a type or of a variable? What's the 'copy:' 
for? I assume it copies one string to another, but if so, does it copy 
by value, or does it share the original string? Are the strings mutable? 
What is the maximum string length (since non-heap space is usually 
limited). etc.)

Well, this discussion has a context, copying strings.

It's been suggested that this was Ada, and that has been confirmed.

Do you have a "Bart Compiler Debugger" that you've created, one
that handles Windows debug events and allows you to look at your
own languages' source code in your own debugger at the source
code level?

No I've never used a debugger nor created one.

I could not get by without one.  My first true experience with a
debugger was CodeView 3.x, then later CodeView 4.x.  It set the
baseline standard for what I expect in a debugger.

Today, Visual Studio provides an amazing integrated edit-and-
continue code and debug environment.  It served for the baseline
for my own development suite.

I place value on a debugger to such an extent that I basically
designed my entire language and compiler framework around the
basic concept of a true edit-and-continue environment, even for
runtime (optimized) code.
