The string it returns needs to be freed again, with a call to string_cstring_free(). I think this is true for all of the string_from_* functions. If there's a memory leak here, it is not in string_from_literal(), but rather, in the code that calls it. I think the code you mentioned in your previous ticket ([perl #47572]) is a good example of that. Mark
