Re: Pinning Array

I concur. For synchronous calls Marshaller pins variables for the duration of the call

The Marshaler will probably copy and pin it as long as the native call lasts.

When invoking the WaitForMultipleObjects function, should the second
parameter, which is een array, be pinned? I believe this should be the
case, since the CLR could move the array on the managed heap. However,
I have never experienced problems when not doing it.
Any ideas?

DWORD WaitForMultipleObjects(
DWORD nCount,
CONST HANDLE* lpHandles,
BOOL fWaitAll,
DWORD dwMilliseconds
);


In .NET I would use an array of integers or IntPtr.
