A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I'm also wondering: I've had an easy time using `ByteArray`s for C functions which want to accept a `char **` to write to, but what would be the best way to pass, say, an `int *` or any other primitive pointer? I can use `alloc` within `memScoped`, but is there any way to use a variable on the stack rather than the heap?

For the CPointer stuff the heap has to be used.

The stack in Kotlin Native programs/libraries can only be used on the Kotlin side.

Kotlin has very limited stack support, although there are Value classes ( <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/inline-classes.html> ) which is currently in development. It is unknown if a Value class can be passed through as a C struct to a C function (by value or reference/pointer). Having such a feature would be very useful (makes things easier/convenient), and would cover some use cases.

Thanks! This is helpful to know. Hopefully we get the chance to have more control over memory for C interop in the future.
