Then, my question boils down to: with current FFI, can you use an
input/output parameter which holds the size of a buffer? For instance,
a function like:

void fill_buffer (BYTE* buffer, DWORD* buffer_size);

where buffer_size holds:
- size of buffer on input;
- size of written data on output;

has a mapping in FFI?

Thanks
