Registering a descriptor with moving GC is not enough, you should
also fix the pointer so that it's not moved.
The better way would be to interact through a COM interface,
which would abstract tricks of the library code. Advanced
environments are usually able to generate such interface.

If I understand you correctly, an easy way is to use RefCounted
with a simple wrapper. Something like this:
// Descriptor defined by the external library
struct DescriptorImpl
{
size_t type;
void* data;
}
// Tiny wrapper
