Hi Elizabeth,
Shall I file a bug report then?
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

Hello,
I have a nasty problem using native call interface. I get an array of bytes
from a call representing a pixel buffer. I am storing it in a CArray[byte].
Golfing it down it comes to the following (REPL)
use NativeCall
my CArray[byte] $ba .= new( 255, 254, 3, 4);
NativeCall::Types::CArray[byte].new
$ba[0].WHAT
(Int)
$ba[0..*-1]
(-1 -2 3 4)
This means (for me) that there is an implicit type conversion from unsigned to
signed integer and it is not possible to use positive numbers only, afterwards.
Regards,
Marcel
