But sqlite3_result_pointer() and sqlite3_bind_pointer() are not invoked from those languages. The _pointer() routines are invoked from C, and C does easily support string literals that are static strings. A C-language wrapper around sqlite3_result_pointer() and sqlite3_bind_pointer() that interfaces to the non-static-string language can simply insert the required static string. We do not want the static string to be a parameter to a generic higher-level interface. That defeats the purpose of the static string. Remember, the string is a "pointer type". We do not want to support interfaces that provide access to pointers of any type the user wants. We are not trying to recreate C++ templates or other interfaces that work with arbitrary types. Each use of _pointer() is intended to be used for a single narrowly defined purpose. -- D.
