Description

We can't automatically generate appropriate bindings for functions that take a void pointer, so at the very least the create-gen tool should ignore them, similarly to how it already generates an ignore: true for functions that take initializer_list.

Research direction

Start at the create-gen handling that already emits ignore: true for functions taking initializer_list, and trace how that decision reaches generated bindings. Extend the same behavior to functions with a void* parameter, then verify that such functions are ignored while other functions remain generated.
