 * arrays_csharp.i
 *
 * This file contains a two approaches to marshaling arrays. The first uses
 * default p/invoke marshaling and the second uses pinning of the arrays.
 *
 * Default marshaling approach
 * ----------------------------
 * Array typemaps using default p/invoke marshaling. The data is copied to a separately
 * allocated buffer when passing over the managed-native boundary.
 * 
 * There are separate typemaps for in, out and inout arrays to enable avoiding 
 * unnecessary copying.
 * 
 * Example usage:
 *
 *   %include "arrays_csharp.i"
 *   %apply int INPUT[]  { int* sourceArray }
 *   %apply int OUTPUT[] { int* targetArray }
 *   void myArrayCopy( int* sourceArray, int* targetArray, int nitems );
 *
 *   %apply int INOUT[] { int* array1, int *array2 }
 *   void myArraySwap( int* array1, int* array2, int nitems );
 *
 * If handling large arrays you should consider using the pinning array typemaps
 * described next.
 *
 * Pinning approach
 * ----------------
 * Array typemaps using pinning. These typemaps pin the managed array given
 * as parameter and pass a pointer to it to the c/c++ side. This is very
 * efficient as no copying is done (unlike in the default array marshaling),
 * but it makes garbage collection more difficult. When considering using
 * these typemaps, think carefully whether you have callbacks that may cause
 * the control to re-enter the managed side from within the call (and produce
 * garbage for the gc) or whether other threads may produce enough garbage to 
 * trigger gc while the call is being executed. In those cases it may be
 * wiser to use the default marshaling typemaps.
 * 
 * Please note that when using fixed arrays, you have to mark your corresponding 
 * module class method unsafe using 
 * %csmethodmodifiers "public unsafe"
 * (the visibility of the method is up to you).
 *
 * Example usage:
 *
 *   %include "arrays_csharp.i"
 *   %apply int FIXED[] { int* sourceArray, int *targetArray }
 *   %csmethodmodifiers myArrayCopy "public unsafe";
 *   void myArrayCopy( int *sourceArray, int* targetArray, int nitems );
 *
