c# func pointers code example

Example 1: function pointers in C#

delegate int Func1(string s);
delegate Func1 Func2(Func1 f);

// Function pointer equivalent without calling convention
delegate*<string, int>;
delegate*<delegate*<string, int>, delegate*<string, int>>;

// Function pointer equivalent with calling convention
delegate* managed<string, int>;
delegate*<delegate* managed<string, int>, delegate*<string, int>>;

Example 2: function pointers in C#

//This method has a managed calling convention. This is the same as leaving the managed keyword off.
delegate* managed<int, int>;

// This method will be invoked using whatever the default unmanaged calling convention on the runtime
// platform is. This is platform and architecture dependent and is determined by the CLR at runtime.
delegate* unmanaged<int, int>;

// This method will be invoked using the cdecl calling convention
// Cdecl maps to System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallConvCdecl
delegate* unmanaged[Cdecl] <int, int>;

// This method will be invoked using the stdcall calling convention, and suppresses GC transition
// Stdcall maps to System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallConvStdcall
// SuppressGCTransition maps to System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallConvSuppressGCTransition
delegate* unmanaged[Stdcall, SuppressGCTransition] <int, int>;
