Discussion

The function EwNewString() creates and returns a copy of the given string aString. The function reserves memory for the new string and copies all characters from aString string into this reserved memory area.

Please note, the returned string is controlled by the Embedded Wizard Runtime Environment. If not used anymore, the string is released automatically during the next EwReclaimMemory() invocation. Please see Be careful when exchanging strings.
