Great, the patch works seamlessly, thanks for the quick reply.
work as you'd expect. As a bonus, it was easy to add a special case
that any non-reference scalar would be interpreted as a single-element
list, so that
$about->set (authors => 'me');
should also work. Both undef and an empty array are interpreted as
NULL (an empty string vector). Such magic may not be desirable; what
does everybody think?
I like this magic, I would even expect it and probably complain if it wouldn't be there ;) Also it goes with the handling of flags/enumerables, which could be passed as a plain string or array ref as well.
the easy fix, though, is to change SvPV_nolen to SvGChar.
I guessed that adding sv_utf8_upgrade() wouldn't be the "right" solution, because it's so seldom used in the whole Gtk2/xs sources ;) Thanks, Joern -- Think before you code. And while you're doing it probably won't hurt. ;)
