Rb_str_new2

Hi,

if I use rb_str_new2(something) to return a string value from within
a C function, do I have to free something after that or is something
used within the resulting ruby object?

rb_str_new2(something) duplicate `something' otherwise it will not
possible to write

   VALUE tt(VALUE obj)
   {
       return rb_str_new2("aa");
   }

GC will clean it up for you after you’re finished with it (that is, when
nothing refers to it any longer).
