Assuming you're using one of the rb_str_new family of functions to create Ruby String objects from C strings, Ruby makes a copy of the C string in Ruby-managed memory. In general Ruby objects are always in Ruby-managed memory unless you're wrapping one of your own C structures into a Ruby object with Data_Wrap_Struct.

what are those exactly ? the "[C ext 2 Ruby]" : for my point of view it
is to advert people this thread speaks about "C ext 2 Ruby", not all are
interested...

or, is it for the "/" of "rb_iv_set/get" ???
