(Rust question) C++ double pointer to void meaning

QUESTION

(Rust question) C++ double pointer to void meaning

Asked 2021-Feb-12 at 03:46

I'm trying to work with active directory from Rust by following the c++ examples Microsoft posts for the ADSI API and the Windows-RS crate. I'm not understanding quite what is going on here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/adshlp/nf-adshlp-adsopenobject

They create an uninitialized pointer to IADs (drawing from my c# knowledge, it looks like an interface) then, when it comes time to use it, they have a double pointer that is cast as void. I tried to replicate this behavior in Rust, but I'm thinking I'm just not understanding exactly what is happening. This is what I've tried so far:

Pointer parameters are often used in FFIs as a way to return data alongside the return value itself. The idea is that the pointer should point to some existing object that the call will populate with the result. Since the Windows API functions often return HRESULTs to indicate success and failure, they use pointers to return other stuff.

In this case, the ADsOpenObject wants to return a *void (the requested ADs interface object), so you need to give it a pointer to an existing *void object for it to fill:
