Re^4: Passing integer pointer in XS? (OUTPUT:)

[ikegami]

Problem: You can't write to protocol or model safely because one of the force functions wasn't used. You might end up changing variables and constants you didn't mean to change. (They might have fixed that in 5.24?)

use strict;
use warnings;

use feature qw( say );

use Inline C => <<'__EOS__';

   void testing(char* s) {
      s[0] = 'y';
   }

__EOS__

my $x = "x";
my $y = $x;
say "$x-$y";
testing($y);
say "$x-$y";

x-x
y-y   <-- Changed both $x and $y

or

for (1..2) {
   my $y = "x";
   say $y;
   testing($y);
}

x
y     <-- Changed the constant!

Note: The caller will need to do s/\0.*// for $protocol, $model;

I suspect that those "char *" arguments are treated such that they could be "const char *" arguments. I also suspect that "\0" characters are not expected. But if I am wrong then, yes, you need to do more work than I did. Thanks.

And thank you for showing me int &. It's not valid C, but apparently it's valid XS. I did not know that.
