	// the content populated in the tempBuf is converted from *C.uchar to unsafe.Pointer
	// and then the pointer is casted into a large byte slice which is then sliced
	// to a length and capacity equal to bufSize returned across the cgo interface.

	// NOTE: This method is compatible with 64-bit systems but may encounter issues on 32-bit systems.
	// leading to vector indexing being supported only for 64-bit systems.
	// This limitation arises because the maximum allowed length of a slice on 32-bit systems
	// is math.MaxInt32 (2^31-1), whereas the maximum value of a size_t in C++ is math.MaxUInt32
	// (4^31-1), exceeding the maximum allowed size of a slice in Go.
	// Consequently, the bufSize returned by faiss_write_index_buf might exceed the
	// maximum allowed size of a slice in Go, leading to a panic when attempting to
	// create the following slice rv.

	// GC'd later on).
	//
	// an optimization over here - create buffer pool which can be used to make the
	// memory allocations cheaper. specifically two separate pools can be utilized,
	// one for C pointers and another for goruntime. within the faiss_write_index_buf
	// a cheaper calloc rather than malloc can be used to make any extra allocations
	// cheaper.
