These macros will skip the replacement if var is a String. Notice that the macros take only the lvalue as their argument, to change the value of var in place. +You can also use the macro named StringValueCStr(). This is just +like StringValuePtr(), but always add nul character at the end of +the result. If the result contains nul character, this macro causes +the ArgumentError exception. +StringValuePtr() doesn't gurantee to exist nul at the end of the +result, and the result may contain nul. + In version 1.6 or earlier, STR2CSTR() was used to do the same thing but now it is deprecated in version 1.7, because STR2CSTR() has a risk of a dangling pointer problem in the to_str() implicit conversion. |
