I suggest that you use the same general machinery as c-string and c-string*, except that instead of a single null-terminated string you have a NULL-terminated array immediately followed by null-terminated strings. So when passing these to C, malloc() a single block for them (you know all the sizes in advance), and if the result type is c-string-list*, then after copying the strings, simply cast the char** to void* and free() it. -- John Cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ccil.org/~cowan Half the lies they tell about me are true. -- Tallulah Bankhead, American actress _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
