    unsafe_convert(T, x)

Convert `x` to a C argument of type `T`
where the input `x` must be the return value of `cconvert(T, ...)`.

In cases where [`convert`](@ref) would need to take a Julia object
and turn it into a `Ptr`, this function should be used to define and perform
that conversion.

Be careful to ensure that a Julia reference to `x` exists as long as the result of this
function will be used. Accordingly, the argument `x` to this function should never be an
expression, only a variable name or field reference. For example, `x=a.b.c` is acceptable,
but `x=[a,b,c]` is not.

The `unsafe` prefix on this function indicates that using the result of this function after
the `x` argument to this function is no longer accessible to the program may cause undefined
behavior, including program corruption or segfaults, at any later time.

    unsafe_wrap(Array, pointer::Ptr{T}, dims; own = false)

Wrap a Julia `Array` object around the data at the address given by `pointer`,
without making a copy.  The pointer element type `T` determines the array
element type. `dims` is either an integer (for a 1d array) or a tuple of the array dimensions.
`own` optionally specifies whether Julia should take ownership of the memory,
calling `free` on the pointer when the array is no longer referenced.

This function is labeled "unsafe" because it will crash if `pointer` is not
a valid memory address to data of the requested length. Unlike [`unsafe_load`](@ref)
and [`unsafe_store!`](@ref), the programmer is responsible also for ensuring that the
underlying data is not accessed through two arrays of different element type, similar
to the strict aliasing rule in C.

Load a value of type `T` from the address of the `i`th element (1-indexed) starting at `p`.
This is equivalent to the C expression `p[i-1]`. Optionally, an atomic memory ordering can
be provided.

The `unsafe` prefix on this function indicates that no validation is performed on the
pointer `p` to ensure that it is valid. Like C, the programmer is responsible for ensuring
that referenced memory is not freed or garbage collected while invoking this function.
Incorrect usage may segfault your program or return garbage answers. Unlike C, dereferencing
memory region allocated as different type may be valid provided that the types are compatible.
