Hello,

I want you let know that `sizeof()` is not `strlen()`.

It is in macro INIT_CLASS_ENTRY.
When I do this:

char* name = "className";
INIT_CLASS_ENTRY(class_entry, name, function_entry);

Then class_entry.name_length is 3  (pointer - 1).

It works well when I use:
char name[] = "className";
And I have dynamicaly created class types and can't use char[].

			With regards
