For an integer array,
    integer dbuf [DBYTES-1:0];     // byte values

function imports like this,
    import "DPI-C" context function int readFILE(
       input int fd, output integer dbuf[], input int nbytes, input int offset
    );
    import "DPI-C" context function int writeFILE(
       input int fd, input integer dbuf[], input int nbytes, input int offset
    );

function calls like this,
       if( !writeFILE(fd, dbuf, wsize, addrval) ) begin
       ...
       if( !readFILE(fd, dbuf, DBYTES, addrval*DBYTES) ) begin
       ...@

gives compile errors,
       In file included from Vtb_mem__ALLcls.cpp:3:
       ./Vtb_mem.cpp:765:64: error: cannot initialize a parameter of type 'IData' (aka 'unsigned int') with an lvalue of type 'IData [16]'

Works in both models and ncsim
