Re: [go-nuts] Re: Mapping C pointer to BYTE to golang []byte

You can ignore the vet warning if you are certain that the uintptr values you are converting to unsafe.Pointer are *valid pointers* (i.e., not non-pointer sentinel values) that point *outside the Go heap*. It sounds like that is probably the case, but you might want to check with someone more fami
