  # originally this was .read_pointer, but that is interpreted as a non-primitive
  # class (FFI::Pointer) and causes an ArgumentError (Invalid Memory Object) when
  # compared to GetCurrentProcess(), which returns a HANDLE (void *). Since a
  # HANDLE is not a pointer to allocated memory that Ruby C extensions can understand,
  # the Invalid Memory Object error is raised.
