[bitc-dev] Raw pointers (aka void*)

[Constantine Plotnikov]

I am thinking about how JIT compilers, virtual machines, and memory 
managers (for example garbage collector) can be implemented in BitC.

I have not found construct that allows raw pointer manipulation or 
primitives for conversion from number to pointer and back. I think 
general-purpose system programming language should allow raw access to 
the memory. IO device drivers also might need to have ability to work 
with raw memory. Maybe I have missed something obvious.
