I'm asking because I'm playing around with making a gtk widget from the gtk emacs port, and I am going to pass a argument to make-frame like this (make-frame '((foo . "abc"))) and I need to know what the value that goes with foo. I can get the argument with x_get_arg(). I just need the value. mike ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Is the XCDR macro what you want? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

You can use STRINGP to check that the Lisp_Object is indeed a string and then XSTRING will get you a Lisp_String* pointer from which you can get the size with SSIZE and the char* content with SDATA.
