Ronie is working on unifying all the api and proposing one syntax
mechanism for
- nativeBoost back-end
- FFI
and may be Alien
The FFI situation is not good and we know we should improve it.

Some of the comments might still hold. For the /time: ’05:45’/ code to
work, you would need FFI to handle all the hassle of memory management
and actually allocate the memory for 5 characters and copying it. I
never used FFI but I doubt it does this.
Looking at FFI library, you both have ExternalAddress (for the struct
with char*) and ExternalType (for the struct with char[5]) that you
can use. For the later solution, it still looks like you should define
a specific 5 bytes ArrayOf5Char type.

I can’t use NativeBoost on the Raspberry, I would be glad if I
could !!!
