A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

if I have a `val stat = cValue&lt;stat&gt;()`, and I want to pass it to the `stat` funciton , which takes a `stat*`, do I need to use `getPointer`? the posix binding accepts a `CValuesRef`. i just want to pass a pointer to the stack variable.

both CValue and CPointer inherit CValuesRef, but my struct seems to be all 0s after the call to `stat`

i suppose in that case I would just use `alloc`, but I don't need heap memory

interesting: <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/native/mapping-struct-union-types-from-c.html#conversion-between-cvaluet-and-cvaluesreft>

looks that doesn't reflect the updates back to the original CValue either

quite funny there's an actual example of this exactly in this post: <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/native/c_interop.html>
