[Mono-list] Marshaling string on Windows returns Garbage??

[efontana]

No, it's a std::string (there an above using namespace std) 

FWIW: I tried even doing this:

const char* testValue = "test"
char* s = CoTaskMemAlloc(strlen(testValue)+1);
strcpy(s, testValue);
return s;

That also returns the 8 Question Marks.

Even more interesting, if I change the signature to 
IntPtr CSharp_Return_String and use Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi, the string is
correct!!

If I use the IntPtr method, the C# wrapper will have to call
Mashal.FreeCoTaskMem to avoid
the leak, because I'm forced to allocate the string on the C++ side since
the string is really
embedded in either a std::string or a Qt QString.
