26 Apr 2017, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, added db_get_value_string()
|
Since we have been regularly running into problems with db_get_xxx(TID_STRING) and string buffers of mismatched size,
I now implemented db_get_value_string(hdb, hkey, key_name, index, &string, create).

26 Apr 2017, Stefan Ritt, Info, added db_get_value_string()
|
Just some thought for discussion:
Rather than "spicing up" the MIDAS library here and there with C++ objects such as std::string, wouldn't it make more sense to "cleanly" wrap an ODB value |

31 May 2017, Konstantin Olchanski, Info, modified db_watch() arguments

for reasons unknown, db_watch() did not have an "info" parameter passed through to the callback
handler function, like it is done with db_open_record().

Thanks for documenting this in detail. A few suggestions:
