[julia-users] How to pass char* string to julia via jl_call?

[Devin Butterfield]

Hi Folks,

I am working on an application that must call Julia from C code. I have 
everything working except the part where I need to pass a C-string to a 
julia function. I was hoping to do something like this:

jl_value_t * mod = (jl_value_t*)jl_eval_string("mymodule");

jl_value_t *arg = jl_box_string("this is a c string"); <---- !!!

jl_value_t *ret = jl_call1(func, arg);


But no such jl_box_string() function exists. Is this possible using some 
other approach?

Thanks!
