I"m not sure I understand your quesiton. You have somefun that's returning
a char pointer and you want to get it into a string? I think:
std::string Mystring( abc.somefun() );
would do the trick.

Which problem did you get when you tried that?

Looks right to me. Have you tried it? Does it fail for some reason?
