[Mono-list] pinvoke4

[Dietmar Maurer]

You need to distinguish 2 cases, managed vs. unmanaged code. The data
representation can be different, for example a bool uses one byte in
managed code, but four bytes in unmanaged code. Data types are
automatically converted by the runtime if you do a PInvoke call. So
thats why SimpleStruct uses 8 byte in managed code, but 32 bytes in
unmanaged code.

In pinvoke4.cs simplestruct is defined as:
 
        public struct SimpleStruct {

                public bool c;
                public string d;
        }

In libtest.c simplestruct is defined as:
 
typedef struct {
        int a;
        int b;
        int c;
        char *d;
} simplestruct
 
However, when mono_create_trampoline the size of the returned by:
mono_class_value_size (sig->ret->data.klass, NULL) is 8. Why is it not
16? I guess the answer is it should be 16 but I'm doing something
stupid.
