One thing to know about it is that repalloc re-sizes the given chunk while keeping it in the same memory context it was originally allocated in (ie, CurrentMemoryContext doesn't matter). This may not matter much if you're only dealing with allocations that just live as long as the current

I don't think your Java code does what you think it does. You should read some more about how Java handles string encodings. Here is a method I wrote some years ago that might also help you. It converts streams, not strings, but what you need should be pretty close (and simpler): /** *
