Customising generated Dllimport

[IIFE]

Hi

Is it possible to customize the genertation of the DllImport lines? For example, rather than:

[SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity]
[DllImport("Generated", CallingConvention = global::System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.Cdecl, EntryPoint="<entry point>")]
internal static extern int GetValueForExternalName(global::System.IntPtr name);

I wish to have

[SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity]
[DllImport("Generated", CallingConvention = global::System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.Cdecl, EntryPoint="<entry point>")]
internal static extern int GetValueForExternalName([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string name);

Notice that the desired parameter is [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string name rather than global::System.IntPtr name.

Similarly I wish to modify the declared return type. For example rather than:

[SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity]
[DllImport("Generated", CallingConvention = global::System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.Cdecl,
EntryPoint="entry point")]
internal static extern void GetCode(global::System.IntPtr __instance, global::System.IntPtr @return);

I wish to have:

[SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity]
[DllImport("Generated", CallingConvention = global::System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.Cdecl, EntryPoint="entry point")]
[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)]
internal static extern string GetCode(global::System.IntPtr __instance);

Again instead of an out IntPtr, the return is marshaled as System.String.

Thanks

Yes, it's possible to customize, however you will need to modify the source code.

I don't think we support this directly at the moment.

Same answer as before, should be straight forward to achieve, PRs are welcome.
