Ok, that's 100% clear. I'm passing a pointer to a record based in the
XPIDL description and sometimes is quite difficult to interpret how a
parameter should be defined based in the IDL description as it is
quite C centric instead platform agnostic.

When no modifier is applied (var, const,...) the behavior is
deterministic or can change from platform to platform, or by ABI ?
