I hoped that: $ 6 'use NativeCall; dd my CArray[uint8] $ba .= new( 255, 254, 3, 4); dd $ba[0..*-1]' CArray[uint8] $ba = NativeCall::Types::CArray[uint8].new (-1, -2, 3, 4).Seq
would be a solution (usint "uint8" rather than "byte"), but alas, no, so this feels like a bug > On 8 Dec 2019, at 20:01, Marcel Timmerman <mt1...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello, > > I have a nasty problem using native call interface.
