I get the point to an array from a c function, the data size

char* dataPtr;
size_t dataLen;
auto data = dataPtr[0 .. dataLen];
This doesn't do any copying. BUT I am not sure what GC would be
doing about it. After you use it, you might want to set `data`
to null in case of a problem.
Thanks, works. Should be in the "Interfacing to C" Reference
Article.
