Hi, 

I have been using node ffi for various libraries but today I am facing an 
unexpected difficulty. Here is a simple C function that takes as parameter 
a pointer and allocates memory for that pointer.

int write_headers(char *header)
{
    header = calloc(1024, 1);
    header[0] = 0x66;
    header[1] = 0x4C;
    header[2] = 0x61;
    header[3] = 0x43;

    return 4;
}


In node, I am using the following coffeescript code to call the 
write_headers function:

ref = require 'ref'
ffi = require 'ffi'

API = {
  'write_headers': ['int', ['pointer']]
}
test = ffi.Library './libtest.so', API

header = ref.NULL_POINTER

res = test.write_headers header.ref()

 
I tried various options but never succeeded to get the correct value of 
header after the call of the write_headers function in order to get the 4 
values of the header.

I would appreciate any help on this.

Thank you,GIlles
