{{newin|[[11.3]]|113|type=function}}
Gets an [http://luajit.org/ext_ffi.html FFI] pointer to the Data.

This function should be preferred instead of [[Data:getPointer]] because the latter uses [[light userdata]] which can't store more all possible memory addresses on some new ARM64 architectures, when LuaJIT is used.
