Hi all,
I am writing my first dlfunc. My question is: Is it ok to return a
pointer to a static string? I could not find answer to this in the
documentation.
Consider the following example:
#include "local_scan.h"
int foobar(uschar **yield, int argc, uschar *argv[])
{
*yield = US"foobar";
return OK;
}
Is the above correct, or should I write the following instead?
*yield = string_copy(US"foobar");
The first version seems to work fine, but when looking at dlfuncs
written by other people I often see the second alternative which makes a
copy of the original string. Why?
Best Regards,
