Subject: Swig: how to convert char* to Array?

I have a C++ library that I'm trying to access in Ruby.  One of the C++
functions returns a char* and I would like this to be converted to an Array
(since the char* may have 0x00 in it, which terminate a Ruby string
prematurely).  I'm trying to write a typemap for the conversion, but I'm
getting stuck on determining the length of the array -- I can't pass that as
a parameter, since this is an *out* typemap.  So my question is, does anyone
have a way to convert char* to Array in Swig, hopefully with an example?
Thanks!

Adam
