axutil_string_create_const() has a strange signature
----------------------------------------------------
Key: AXIS2C-1443
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1443
Project: Axis2-C
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: util
Affects Versions: 1.6.0, Current (Nightly)
Reporter: Olivier Mengué
axutil_string_create_const() has a strange signature:
/**
* Creates a string struct.
* @param str pointer to string. string struct would not create a duplicate
* of this and assumes the str would have longer life than that of itself
* @param env pointer to environment struct
* @return a pointer to newly created string struct
*/
AXIS2_EXTERN axutil_string_t *AXIS2_CALL
axutil_string_create_const(
const axutil_env_t * env,
axis2_char_t ** str);
Why "** str" and not "* str" ?
I expected to be able to do:
axutil_string_t *soap_action = axutil_string_create_const(env,
"MySoapAction");
Instead I have to do:
const axis2_char_t * MySoapAction = "MySoapAction"
axutil_string_t *soap_action = axutil_string_create_const(env,
&MySoapAction);
This is crazy !
Same problem for axutil_string_create_assume_ownership().
