The SIP specification snippet:

typedef unsigned char   GLubyte;        /* 1-byte unsigned */
const GLubyte * gl_error();

produces the following C++ code:

static PyObject *func_gl_error(PyObject *,PyObject *sipArgs)
{
        int sipArgsParsed = 0;

        {
                if (sipParseArgs(&sipArgsParsed,sipArgs,""))
                {
                        const unsigned char *sipRes;

                        sipRes = gl_error();

                        if (PyErr_Occurred())
                                return 0;

                        if (sipRes == NULL)
                        {
                                Py_INCREF(Py_None);
                                return Py_None;
                        }

                        return PyString_FromString(sipRes);
                }
        }

        /* Raise an exception if the arguments couldn't be parsed. */
        sipNoFunction(sipArgsParsed,sipNm__Qwt3D_gl_error);

        return NULL;
}

which fails to compile with:

g++ -c -pipe -fPIC -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=i586 -mcpu=pentiumpro 
-Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DHAS_NUMARRAY -DHAS_NUMERIC -DGL2PS_HAVE_ZLIB 
-DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -I. -I/usr/include/python2.3 
-I/usr/lib/qt3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -o sip_Qwt3Dcmodule.o 
sip_Qwt3Dcmodule.cpp
sip_Qwt3Dcmodule.cpp: In function `PyObject* func_gl_error(PyObject*, 
PyObject*)':
sip_Qwt3Dcmodule.cpp:3751: error: invalid conversion from `const unsigned 
char*' to `const char*'

This pertains to the conversion in "return PyString_FromString(sipRes);"

Python-2.3.3 (don't think it matters)
