Sure it's fine, but isn't that not writing in Java?

I don't remember how good the Java interfaces look though, eg if you worked around no constant data by defining your arrays in C and passing them back, would they be bounds checked arrays?

Just like CGO is not Go, yet not a reason to throw everything away.

If one is dumb enough to use C style arrays instead of C++ bounded checked ones, yes that is a problem, again just like C arrays defined in CGO.

I'm talking about defining a 'const int[]' in C and having it appear as an 'int[]' in Java. I think that's even less likely to happen if you define a const std::vector.

Actually I've never even seen someone define constant data in C++ using a vector, but this fits my experience of C++ developers telling me I'm stupid when I do the only thing I've ever seen anyone actually write.

What can I say, you hang around the wrong people.
