I mainly use C#, and this is late, but really welcome!

I usually use Vanara for Win32 PInvoke wrappera, or hand-code them if they are undocumented or I only need a couple. Rarely I've come across memory issues with the wrappers provided by Vanara and PInvoke.net, where they've forgotten to return a buffer - these kind of problems are absolute bastards to track down, and the root cause is of course manually building wrapper code. Having an automated means to do this will be a huge boon.

I wonder though - quite often if I'm digging into Win32 stuff, it means I'm working on performance sensitive code, where I want to keep allocations low - I haven't looked I to it yet, but I hope C#/Win32 has an option to generate wrappers that take pointers instead of only using managed types!
