Hi,  

I came across a problem with the new pointer-passing interface, when I tried 
to incorporate the carray extension into my wxSQLite3 wrapper for SQLite3.  

In the comment of the sqlite3_bind_pointer() routine I found this note:  

The T parameter should be a static string, preferably a string literal.  

This comment is a bit misleading, since it doesn't become clear that the 
string pointer for T must be valid as long as the associated statement is 
active.  

In my case this is quite cumbersome, since in my wrapper I have to extract 
the value of parameter T from a temporary string object. That is, shortly after 
having called sqlite3_bind_pointer the temporary string goes out of scope. 
The effect is that later on the function sqlite3_value_pointer usually can't 
see 
the correct type value anymore. Therefore sqlite3_value_pointer returns a 
NULL pointer ... and the carray table is empty.  

IMHO it would be better if the function sqlite3_bind_pointer would make a 
copy of the type string and would thus be independent of the life span of the 
type parameter.  

Regards,
