sgs_ToStringBuf(Fast)(P) [functions]

char* sgs_ToStringBuf( sgs_Context* C, sgs_StkIdx item, sgs_SizeVal* outsize )

char* sgs_ToStringBufFast( sgs_Context* C, sgs_StkIdx item, sgs_SizeVal* outsize )

Return an item from the current stack frame, converted in-place to string.

char* sgs_ToStringBufP( sgs_Context* C, sgs_Variable* var, sgs_SizeVal* outsize )

char* sgs_ToStringBufFastP( sgs_Context* C, sgs_Variable* var, sgs_SizeVal* outsize )

Return the value of the specified variable, converted in-place to string.

• In ***P functions previous variable is properly released before conversion takes place and reacquired afterwards.
• If item is out of bounds or conversion fails, NULL is returned.
• The 'fast' version uses type name conversion on object, instead of string conversion - this is to avoid recursion while generating a short description about object contents.
• Length of string is returned to the value that outsize points to.
