Hi folks,

How can I return an array to javascript from a C function? I have a 
native C function which returns an array.  When I run this I get a 
segfault. Is there any conceptual thing I'm missing?

Thanks in advance
Oyku.

I want js to interpret and get an array object
var x = Array();
x = TestingArraysAsReturn;


The function code is;

static JSBool
TestingArraysAsReturn(JSContext *cx, JSObject *obj, uintN argc,
     jsval *argv, jsval *rval) {

JSObject *js_array ;
js_array = JS_NewArrayObject(cx,0,NULL);
for (i = 1 ; i <= 5 ; ++i) {
	jsval *js;
	js = STRING_TO_JSVAL(JS_NewStringCopyZ(cx, "testing"));
	JS_SetElement(cx,js_array,i,js);
}
*rval = OBJECT_TO_JSVAL(js_array);
return JS_TRUE;
}
