I have dllImport declaration:

[<DllImport(@"netcdf.dll",EntryPoint="nc_get_var_int")>]
extern int nc_get_var_int_(int ncid, int varid, int* ip);

I am interested by last argument int* ip

Il I write code:

let mutable thisncid = ncid
let mutable thisvarid = varid

let dim1 = 5
let values = Array.create dim1 0 // here I create an int array - mutable array

If I use:
let status = nc_get_var_int_(thisncid,thisvarid, values)
error with values ? This expression has type int array but is here used with type int nativeptr

let status = nc_get_var_int_(thisncid,thisvarid, &values)
error with values ? This expression has type int a' byref but is here used with type int nativeptr

I don't understand this "int nativeptr"
possible use Array.crreate in this context?
(and Array2.create? Array3.create?)

Thanks
