Hi,

you can create a DEFINITION MODULE FOR "C" module which provides gm2
with access to a C library.  Constant strings can contain escaped \
characters they are also null terminated.  For non constant strings it
might be worth having a look at:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gm2.git/tree/gcc-versionno/gcc/m2/gm2-libs/DynamicStrings.def
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gm2.git/tree/gcc-versionno/gcc/m2/gm2-libs/FormatStrings.def

for other data types:

hope this helps,
