It remains that, if you want to manipulate strings from Ruby, you must
at some point create Ruby String objects. Either you do all your
string processing in C, or at some point you must do the bridging. The
normal way is to allow Ruby GC to manage these objects. I believe you
could twiddle the main String class from C (see string.c in the Ruby
code) to have a string whose content is unmodifiable and is held in a
memory area managed from C (say, using SystemV IPC shared memory), but
I believe it would be a huge work. I used shared memory in the past
from C, but when the Ruby part needed to access the data, I created a
String object (with rb_str_new).
