   Here's a possible way to do it:

   cpdef get_value_ptr(self, name):
       cdef int gid = self.get_var_grid(name)
       cdef int size = self.get_grid_size(gid)
       cdef void* ptr
       ptr = self._bmi.GetValuePtr(<char*>name)
       return np.asarray(<np.float_t[:size]>ptr)

   This is C-like, though; I'm not sure if there's a cleaner C++ way to do this.
