I will change the question, who determines the lifetime of this string object? When does it end? ```python from memory import alloc s_p1 = alloc(4, False) s_p1.set_string_pointer("string") ```

No more questions. Thanks for the answers. I have created a fix(#474) for some of the problems, so if you have any comments, please let me know.

Are there any other issues?
