Re: [Swig-user] question about using SWIGTYPE_p_void in a callback

[William S F. <ws...@fu...>]

Hard to say, I suggest you debug the C++ and C# code to see where the
pointer changes to NULL. It should work.

Also consider applying the VOID_INT_PTR typemaps, see
http://swig.org/Doc3.0/CSharp.html#CSharp_void_pointers. However, this
collection of named typemaps are missing the csdirectorin and
csdirectorout typemaps. Grab the additions in the csharp.swg file in
this commit: https://github.com/swig/swig/commit/e9e6a99f0fed20fc631c912075f0f94eed3bae66.
