Here's the array get_plugin_metadata() returns to

struct plugin_metadata {
  const char** games;
  size_t games_count;
  const char** paths;
  size_t paths_count;
};

As mentioned above, const char** is seemingly necessary for C-interfacing

wait a sec

deleting because I think I'm focusing on the wrong part of my code

for dynamic size

std::vector<const char*> strvec;
strvec.push_back(str1.data());
strvec.push_back(str2.data());
const char** data = strvec.data();

for 0 allocations (fixed size)

auto strarr = std::to_array({str1.data(), str2.data(), str3.data()});
const char** data = strarr.data();
