| What do you mean by "producing strings"?

Of course :)
char*
wlgetbyid(id, word)
int id
U32 word
INIT:
char* str;
CODE:
if (id > MAXDICS || id < 0 || !wln[id]) {
str = g_strdup("");
} else {
str = word_list_get_by_id(wln[id], word);
if (!str) str = g_strdup("(null)");
}
RETVAL = str;
OUTPUT:
RETVAL
Here, str is "(null)" from the strdup or another string (returned by
the word_list_get_by_id). Both of them must be freed.
Best,
