There's also the issue of the lifetime of the string. Will initSomeSystem
hang on to the char * after the call returns? If so, your code will blow up
since when the NSString goes it will take with it that C string--instead
you'd have use one of the calls that *copies* the C string into a buffer
Folks;
I'm an ObjC guy who has to deal with some Carbon code that looks like
this:
#define kVERSION abc
#define kPARTNUMBER 123
...
if ( (p_flag = initSomeSystem (

Is there a better way?
It depends. Does the code take a real C string (char array), or does
it take an Str63 or Str255 or something? If the latter, then you need
to use CoreFoundation to get a Pascal string from the

That looks correct, assuming the Carbon function does take a C string
in UTF-8 encoding, but you can make it a bit more compact:
const char *

Thanks for the info, the deal is I don't have access to the source for
'initSomeSystem'.
So I can't answer your question, other than to point out what does
work..
I do know that ' #define kVersion abc ' creates a suitable string.
I'm trying to do the 'best' substitution I can with

If that is true, then is the following the best solution?
I guess it is then, unless initSomeSystem() modifies the character
array, in which case you may have a problem. You could also use -
UTF8String instead of -cStringUsingEncoding: if
