Damn got something strange now. Here is some example code:

void lfDbStaticText::SetLabel(mysqlpp::Null<mysqlpp::cchar*>& label) {
#ifdef DEBUG
    std::cerr << label << std::endl;
    std::string testlabel = (label.is_null ? "" : std::string(label)); 
// <-this is strange
#endif //DEBUG
    wxString str = wxEmptyString;
    if(!label.is_null) {
        str = wxString(label, wxConvUTF8);
    }
    wxStaticText::SetLabel(str);
}


If I compile my app with the line where the comment is '<- this is 
strange', wxString converts the cchar* good, but if I compile it without 
wxString can't convert it. It is as if it don't find the '\0' char .
