I think the following is a golf of your confusion: ``` use NativeCall; my Pointer $foo .= new: 42; say $foo; # NativeCall::Types::Pointer<0x2a> print $foo; # NativeCall::Types::Pointer<5895604297984> ``` I can see how someone might be confused by the two numbers: * Decimal `42` which is the same as hex `0x2a`. * Decimal `5895604297984` (or whatever) which isn't `42`/`0x2a`. Why isn't the third number the same as the first two? Am I right in thinking this distills what is confusing to you? -- raiph
