The Slice built-in types are mapped to Ruby types as shown in this table:

Although Ruby supports arbitrary precision in its integer types, the Ice run time validates integer values to ensure they have valid ranges for their declared Slice types.
String values returned as the result of a Slice operation (including return values, out parameters, and data members) contain UTF-8 encoded strings unless the program has installed a string converter, in which case string values use the converter's native encoding instead.
As string input values for a remote Slice operation, Ice accepts nil
in addition to String
objects; each occurrence of nil
is marshaled as an empty string. Ice assumes that all String
objects contain valid UTF-8 encoded strings unless the program has installed a string converter, in which case Ice assumes that String
objects use the native encoding expected by the converter.

The string converter facility is not used.
