Is this needed for https://github.com/JuliaDatabases/SQLite.jl/pull/308/files to work or this is just extra feature to avoid allocations? (I understand the latter) |

Correct; just the latter to avoid the default Base definitions for |
| Base.cconvert(::Type{Ptr{Int8}}, x::InlineString1) = Ref{InlineString1}(x) | ||
| Base.cconvert(::Type{Ptr{UInt8}}, x::T) where {T <: InlineString} = | ||
| Ref{T}(_bswap(clear_n_bytes(x, 1))) | ||
| Base.cconvert(::Type{Ptr{Int8}}, x::T) where {T <: InlineString} = |

Do we need to also handle Ptr{Cstring}? how about Cwstring?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
yeah, good idea. I pushed a cconvert for Cstring; I say we don't worry about Cwstring for now (since InlineStrings by default are utf8 anyway).
