[Mono-dev] MonoType trouble when adjusting method signature

[Zoltan Varga]

                             Hi,

  Make a copy of klass->byval_arg, set the 'byref' flag, and the OUT
flag in the copy.

I need to get the corresponding byref version of that MonoType, and apply the PARAM_ATTRIBUTE_OUT attribute to that type's attributes in order to use it as a parameter in the unmanaged method signature. Any advice on how to do this? There is a dup_type method in class.c, but it seems like I'm missing something.
