To communicate a "char *" string with a C library, should I use chars_ptr or
char_array_access?
Please answer, it is important for some open source projects.

The answer is in the RM (B.3.1(22)): 'chars_ptr is C-compatible and corresponds to the use of C's "char *"...'. It doesn't say char_array_access is C-compatible.

Thanks.
But what then char_array_access is defined at all? How it is useful?
