support for primitive arrays

I have been playing around with PochiVM.
I have run into problems using it with an array (holding uint8_t elements).
Forgive me, I'm not a c/c++ dev and likely to be doing something stupid.

If I try to add a primitive array to a Class I see an error:

[ERROR] Calling function with array-typed parameter or return value is not supported yet. Change it to pointer-type to workaround. Offending function:

If I however try to pass an array as a parameter to a method I see this error at runtime:

Cannot allocate unsized type
%param_0 = alloca %class.Tutorial101
storing unsized types is not allowed

If I try to add an std:array (or std:vector) to a Class as a member variable and register it I see a bunch of errors in generated code:

RegisterMemberObject<&Tutorial101::test>();

I could just be going down the wrong path... (In which case an example using a primitive array (or std:array) of type uint8_t would be great), or if support for arrays is not there yet.

Is the latter is the case, can support be added?
