pInvoke - arguments marshaling
Hi,
I am using pInvoke and the member function has signature like this in C++
int F1(ULONG handle, LPCTSTR s1, LPCTSTR s2, LPCTSTR s3, LPCTSTR s4)
so, I am using this signature in C#
public static extern int F1([MarshalAs(Unman agedType.U8)] UInt64 handle,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.LPTStr )]string s1,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.LPTStr )]string s2,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.LPTStr )]string s3,
[MarshalAs(Unman agedType.LPTStr )]string s4);
So, if I call it like this
F1(1234,"Earth" ,"Moon","Sun"," ");
then I am receiving these values in C++ dll
handle= 1234
s1= null
s2= Earth
s3= Moon
s4= Sun
The arguments seems to be shifted.
If I remove the ULONG from the declaration at both place, everything
works fine.
ULONG is 64 bit unsigned int. So, it should be passed as U8!! So, whats
wrong here???
Please advice!!

ULONG is a 32bit unsigned integer. long in C++ and long in C# are not the
same thing.

Thanks! I got confused with Visual Basic ULong!!! All this time I was

After numerous problems, I'm having second thoughts about using
C++/CLI to wrap a native DLL. On the other hand, PInvoke seems like
it will take a huge amount of work, if it will work at all.
The native DLL uses raw data buffers that are normally handed to it
(via pointer) from another native function. If I'm piloting this with
C#/PInvoke, how could those raw data buffers be created and
immobilized? In C++/CLI, there is pin_ptr to...

I have a propertary library dll (used to drive a device) that I call
from my C# code.
Calling the functions from C++ is really faster than calling them in C+
+. From C++ the call is almost instantaneous, from C# is about 1.5
seconds long.
For example, this command powers a device based on an interface switch
and returns a message in Ack_Msg that is len long. Besides returns an
error code.

The CLR won't garbage collect until it needs to. You should see the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
