LuaJIT FFI simple binding problem

[Olivier Goudron <olivier.goudron@...>]

Hello,

I am testing LuaJIT FFI binding and i have a problem with this code :

****

local ffi = require("ffi")

ffi.cdef[[

struct slice{

  char *data;

  int len;

};

]]

local sk = ffi.new("struct slice")

sk.len = 3

sk.data = "">

print(sk.len)

print(ffi.string(sk.data))

****

The last line cause LuaJIT to crash and the "sk.data = "" assignement complain with this message : cannot convert 'string' to 'char *'

I know that i am doing something wrong and i would apreciate very much some help.

Thanks in advance.

Olivier.
