call examples for dwg_dynapi_common_utf8text?

[zenglanmu]

I am trying to build a "high-level" python wrapper for this library.
Similar to issuue #991, I was stuck in extracting utf8 string from Dwg_Obj.
For example, I have a Dwg_Layer obj, and want access its name field as utf8 string.
In the c code side, I called dwg_dynapi_common_utf8text function like following:

int isnew = 0;
char* textp;
bool result;
result = dwg_dynapi_common_utf8text(layer_obj, "name", &textp, &isnew, null);

but I got this error
LOG_ERROR ("%s: Invalid common text field %s", __FUNCTION__, fieldname);

Also using uppercase fieldname "NAME" is not work either. Is I missed something important or get utf8 name field is not supported for layer type obj?

Besides, following is the typemap for wrapper those dynapi utf8 functions which added in dwg.i file , if anyone is interested,

%include "typemaps.i"  // common type mappings
// for support function like dwg_dynapi_entity_utf8text, which have char **restrict textp, int *isnewp as argout
%typemap(in,numinputs=0) (char **restrict textp, int *) (char* tmp1, int tmp2) %{
  $1 = &tmp1;
  $2 = &tmp2;
%}

%typemap(argout) (char **restrict textp, int *) (PyObject* py_textp, PyObject* py_int) %{
  // assuming the func return variable generate by swig is called 'result'
  if(result && *$1){
    py_textp = PyUnicode_FromString(*$1);
  }else{
    py_textp = Py_None;
    Py_INCREF(Py_None);
  }
  py_int = PyInt_FromLong(*$2);
  // we dont care isnew result, only want get string result
  $result = SWIG_Python_AppendOutput($result,py_textp);
%}

%typemap(freearg) (char **restrict textp, int *) %{
  // only free if isnew
  if (*$1 && *$2){
    free (*$1);
  }              
%}
// end of support function like dwg_dynapi_entity_utf8text

Unlike issue #991, it seems the free memory problem had been overcomed by mapping textp and isnew together.
