And if i need to pass lots of data (in principle always if i want to pass more

Just bear in mind that when you pass a pointer by value, you can't
change the pointer to a different value, but you are not offered any
protection from changing the data to which the pointer points.

Passing a pointer by value is no different from passing a variable
without CONST nor VALUE.
