This fact is documented. However, I'm not sure whether this auto-conversion is advanced enough to apply byref. Because otherwise, DIRENT is certainly not convertible to DIRENT_p
If argtypes specify a 'POINTER(X)' type as an argument, then ctypes automatically applies byref() if an 'X' instance is passed to the actual call. This is by design, but I'm not sure if it is documented or not. However, if argtypes is not given, this does (and of course cannot) work.
