Hi,
I'd like to write a ruby method in C, which passes an
arbitrary byte string as a result back to ruby.
All functions I found (like rb_str_new2 ) use
just a pointer and assume the string to be 0-terminated.
Any way to convert a buffer into a ruby string based
on pointer and length?
regards

I don't think rb_str_new() expects a null terminator:
VALUE rb_str_new _((const char*, long));
