There was a problem hiding this comment.
LGTM
Minor nit: using :c:expr: vs :c:type. I think we should choose something one

Fixed-sized types, like c_int32 is currently missing from Fundamental data types in the documentation for c types.
This PR adds those types to the table.
Also:
c_int8 and c_unit8 are aliases of c_byte and c_ubyte. The documentation says "Usually as alias for c_byte/c_ubyte", but that can be more explicit. This PR includes this change as well.
