    • Bug Fix
    • Fixed an issue where C++ code accessing Ruby strings, when called from a Ruby interpreter configured with a non-UTF-8 locale, would interpret the string incorrectly.

    Description

      The Ruby API's to_string method doesn't account for string encoding when retrieving values. The C++ interface expects UTF-8 encoding; if another encoding is used, the string will be copied as bytes and interpreted incorrectly in C++ programs expecting UTF-8.
