I can help you with Ruby C API :) The advantage of creating Ruby strings right away is it maintains length, so one can use mem* functions instead of str* functions (always faster and more explicit, often safer, and never less safe). > BTW, is anything bad with that variant: > char *newaddr = alloca(...); > remove_scope_id(oldaddr, newaddr); Probably OK in this case, but it would need a comment explaining to stack checkers the size is bounded and won't overflow. > > Perhaps something like this (totally untested, likely off-by-one errors) > > Ok, I'll test your code tomorrow. Thanks.
