[Chicken-users] ffi - the right way to return a list holding integers and strings

[foobar]

hi,

as the title allready suggests i'm looking for a way to return a list
from within
a c-function. I know how to return a list, but what i don't know is how
to fill
some of the elements with strings. More importantly how does the
allocation-deallocation-
scheme look like in this situation?

Here is a minimal example of what i want to do

C_word return_a_list(){
     int a = 1;
     char *str = "just a test";
     /* now i need to make the string an object that can be carried
        around by the list. But how? C_string or C_string2? */

    /* finally return the list with the ??? actually being something
reasonable*/
     C_return(C_h_list(2,C_fix(a),???);
}


How can this be done in a safe way?

Best regards
David
