Remarks

The CompilerMarshalOverride class allows the common language runtime to marshal using the correct sizes.

Some behaviors of the common language runtime are incompatible with some languages. For example, C++ treats Boolean variables as single-byte values, while the common language runtime marshals them as four-byte values to match the BOOLEAN type defined by the Microsoft Windows API. To work around such issues, the C++ compiler emits this modifier on any wchar_t or bool parameter or function return.
