is there anyway to get a `ByteArray` backed by native C memory without a copy in Kotlin/Native?

It is. What are you trying to achieve? Have you tried `usePinned` ?

`usePinned` is the common example, but it involves a memory copy.

Wondering if there is something similar to Javascript interop (whereas a `ByteArray` is transparently mapped to a Javascript `Int8Array`)?

was mostly just trying to avoid a copy (and was curious if I was missing something). Something like JNI DirectByteBuffers. I think I can achieve what I want though by just introducing a `Buffer` interface and then wrap the native memory. Little more work but should achieve what I want.
