Force materialization of a character vector

Forces a `charvec` to materialize its R-level strings (`CHARSXP`s), caching them on the object; the native store is released. Ordinary character vectors are returned unchanged. This is a diagnostic/escape hatch: code that needs guaranteed-plain string storage (for example, before handing a vector to C code that bypasses ALTREP accessors) can call it explicitly.

Usage

charport_materialize(x)

Arguments

x

a character vector (plain or `charvec`).

Value

`x`, invisibly, after forcing materialization.

Examples

x <- charvec("a", "b")
charport_materialize(x)
