Marshalling char16_t* or wchar_t*

[atlaste]

Marshalling char16_t* and wchar_t* produces the wrong marshalling type.

Windows, MSVC++ to C#.

C++ signature:

void Log(const char16_t* str)

will produce:

void _LogDelegateHook(global::System.IntPtr __instance, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPUTF8Str)] string str)

Here, LPUTF8Str is wrong. char16_t is UTF16-LE. Tests confirm using LPWStr would fix it.

We've had a pending PR that should help with this: #983

It just needs a bit of a push to get it over the line.

@tritao I already took care of this issue as far as I know.

CppSharp/tests/CSharp/CSharp.cpp

Line 1846 in 9b69f14

const char16_t* TestCSharpString16(const char16_t* in, const char16_t** out)

The problem is that none of my contributions will be available for most people until we release a new nuget package to nuget.org.

When will you release the new version? It's been a long time since the last release

Soon. We had to fix some issues that came up after we upgraded everything to .NET Core to get this far and we also had to make some changes to support windows / linux / macos in a single package.
