[eclipse-clp-users] R: How to create a EC_word/string from an array?

Dear Kish,
in the Section Decomposing ECLiPSe terms in C++ of the Embedding and
Interfacing Manual:
http://87.230.22.228/doc/embedding/embroot067.html
there are some function to convert a EC_word to string, long, double types.

I'd like to assign the array to a EC_word and then if possible convert it to
a C++ string.

At the moment the following C++ code fails, I assume it is due to the
conversion to C++ which never succeeds:

EC_word head;
EC_word tail;
char**  as_string;
long    as_long;

if ( (X.is_list( head, tail ) == EC_succeed) ) {

	std::cout << "X!" std::endl;

} if ( (X.is_long( &as_long ) == EC_succeed) ) {

 	std::cout << "X = " << as_long << std::endl;

} if ( (X.is_long( as_string ) == EC_succeed) ) {

 	std::cout << "X = " << std::string( as_string ) << std::endl;

} else {

	std::cout << "FAIL!" << std::endl;
	exit(1);

}

So I thought to use something like
print_obj(Obj) :- dim(Obj, [N]), ( for(J,1,N), param(Obj) do Ob is Obj[J],
printf("%1d", Ob) ), nl.
to create a EC_word (as string) and the retrieve it as a C++-string.

I hope the problem is clear now,
thanks,
Giuseppe
