-To fix this error, you need to pass variables corresponding to C types as much
-as possible. For better explanations, see The Rust Book:

+Certain Rust types must be cast before passing them to a variadic function,
+because of arcane ABI rules dictated by the C standard. To fix the error,
+cast the value to the type specified by the error message (which you may need
+to import from `std::os::raw`).
