Sorry, I only skimmed this message the first time.  Yeah, this is a seriously ugly case.  I don't have up to date advice on the state of things here, I imagine the bindings will have different bugs and interpretations as you've discovered.

 

I'd recommend to avoid calling or writing C APIs with these signatures until we fully define the semantics and fix the bindings.

 

I think ultimately we'll need separate annotations for the `in` and `out` portions.
