[Mono-dev] [PATCH] Adding hooks for BSTR Marshaling

[Bill Holmes]

Hi,

I have added and attached the work mentioned in my original dealing
with Marshal.AllocCoTaskMem and  Marshal.AllocHGlobal.

The problem I am trying to solve is the same as before.  Our
application expects to use its own allocator for these calls, not
g_malloc and g_free.

monomarshalhooks5.patch contains all the changes for BSTR, CoTaskMem
and HGlobal, but I will commit the BSTR fix first and then other
allocator changes second.

	* marshal-hooks.h : Adding declaration for
	  mono_install_alloc_hglobal_funcs and mono_install_alloc_cotaskmem_funcs.

	* marshal.c : Adding mono_install_alloc_hglobal_funcs to override alloc,
	  realloc and free functions for HGlobal

	* marshal.c : Adding mono_install_alloc_cotaskmem_funcs to override alloc,
	  realloc and free functions for CoTaskMem
