Yes, exactly.  I don't see anything related to that in module/_ffi
too, which means it's broken in this respect (or just doesn't support
WINAPI functions, which is probably not intended).

See how _rawffi/interp_rawffi.py takes a 'flags' argument from
app-level and passes it to clibffi in the call to RawFuncPtr().


A bientôt,

Armin.
