1. Just define the DS the same and pass it in (it could be
CONST)

I'm pretty sure this is the best way to do it. If you define the parm as const, I'm pretty sure it will be passed by reference, so there will be no additional storage allocated.

3. Define the PI as pointer and pass the address

No need to do this, as mentioned above, that's essentially what's already happening.
