I think push_text() is just a macro for the code you listed there. I'd say about half of the commonly used helper functions are really convenience macros. Unfortunately, most aren't documented :/

It would be interesting to know what the various make_*_string() are used for...

I've been using push_text(s), but I saw in another file the person used:

struct pike_string *str; str=make_shared_string(s); push_string(str);

What would the benefit, if any, of the above code be over using push_text()?

thanks..
