This cannot be answered without knowing what the function does, with the
parameter and in general. C/++ function prototypes do not specify how a
function uses its parameters the way Ada subprogram specifications do.
You either have to rely on comments or read the implementation before
you can correctly call a C/++ function.

In most cases you can simply specify the correct parameter mode (in, in
out, or out) in Ada and the compiler will pass the correct information
to the function. In some cases, most noticeably a function that returns
a result and also modifies its parameter, an access parameter is needed.
