[Mono-dev] managed code wrappers (exceptions & garbage collection across pinvoke barriers)

[Sebastian Good]

I have not attempted to run a memory profiler on my example, but the
brute-force method of letting the code run in a loop causes the process to
eventually run out of memory. What is the recommended way to debug these
leaks? On the suspicion it was actually just the managed copy of the input
string that was never having a chance to collect, I even ran the mono
garbage collector explicitly. (Such silly ideas don't usually pan out -- and
this was no exception.)
