Example

The following code shows a use of wire_marshal:

// cpp_attr_ref_wire_marshal.cpp  
// compile with: /LD  
#include "windows.h"  
[module(name="MyLibrary")];  
  
[export, public] typedef unsigned long _FOUR_BYTE_DATA;  
  
[export] typedef struct _TWO_X_TWO_BYTE_DATA {  
   unsigned short low;  
   unsigned short high;  
} TWO_X_TWO_BYTE_DATA ;  
  
[export, wire_marshal(TWO_X_TWO_BYTE_DATA)] typedef _FOUR_BYTE_DATA FOUR_BYTE_DATA;
