libsodium on LiveCode?

[Monte Goulding]

It probably depends on how these are used as to what you want here, however, if all of these are data coming from LCS then I’d suggest you want your LCB handlers to take in Data and then use something like:

__safe foreign handler MCDataGetBytePtr(in pData as Data) returns Pointer binds to "<builtin>”
__safe foreign handler MCDataGetLength(in pData as Data) returns LCUIndex binds to "<builtin>"

public handler DoSomething(in pPK as Data)
    if MCDataGetLength(pPK) is not 32 then
       throw “PK not 32 bytes"
    end if 

    variable tPK as Pointer
    put MCDataGetBytePtr(pPK) into tPK
    libsodiumfunction(tPK)

Cheers
