Expected a REFERENCE to STRING.\n"); STRLEN len; const char *ptr = SvPV(sv, len); if (!ptr) SWIG_croak("Undefined variable in argument $argnum of $symname."); temp.assign(ptr, len); $1 = &temp; } Now, the typemap makes a copy of the referenced string anyway, so there is no point in requiring a reference instead of a plain string. I wonder how it can work in the other cases: $ grep "REFERENCE to STRING" LibStorage_wrap.cc | wc -l 200 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you please check whether the other cases are used and work?
