Can you be more specific here please? I know the most awkward case is where we have an in/out parameter that brings in an int and sends out a size_t, but there is not much to do about that without converting everything to int and I think there will be a lot of fan out because ultimately these mostly come back to array lengths, and symbol lengths, which are all int (and don't need to be bigger).

So I would really prefer to not try and apply more bandages at this stage. I really just want this part fixed so I can proceed with the JNI update.

Thanks.
