yes a c_str would be needed to accommodate lyxstring...
another reason to ditch it...
Note that the problems will lyxstring will only get bigger.... by
clinging to it we introduce a lot of ineffencies (conversion between
lyxstring->char*->std::string and back... with all the extra
allocations that result in), also because of these
conversions strings cannot give any meaning to '\0' (and we
might want to do that... think TeX charset...).
The worst part IMHO is that by not using std::string it is hard or
impossible to use other libraries that use std::string in its
interfaces (but the c_str() solution might still work...).
IMHO lystring is just looking less and less favorable.
