error: cannot convert ‘__shedskin__::str*’ to ‘const char*’

[Tom]

I'm trying to wrap the output of shedskin with a C++ library that has a function the needs a normal string. Is it possible to convert __shedskin__::str* to const char*?

yourString->unit.c_str() should be enough.

hi jeremie,

nice to see you still follow the list :-) work on shedskin has been a bit slow the last few months, because of a job change (to zarafa.com). though we've had a few rather nice releases recently..

__ss_int is basically a typedef for int. You don't even need a cast.

If you're using the -l or --long option of shedskin, __ss_int becomes
a typedef for long long, that is, a large integer. In this case, you
might want to use long long too, to avoid losing large values.
