How to work with C libraries that expect char to be signed?

[ghost]

Char on Adept is ubyte and thus C strings are *ubyte. Can I simply cast from ubyte to byte and *ubyte to *byte to pass to the functions that expect char to be signed?

Yes, the signness only applies when doing math/printing operations from within Adept. You can freely cast to byte if that's what a foreign C function expects.

(ubyte and byte have the same representation, it's just that 128..=255 are interpreted as negative for signed bytes)
