Hi, I am working on the marshaling of the virDomainInfo structure. I have marshalled it in this way : /// <summary> /// Structure to handle domain informations /// </summary> [ StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public class DomainInfo {     /// <summary>     /// The running state, one of virDomainState.     /// </summary>     private Byte state;     /// <summary>     /// The maximum memory in KBytes allowed.     /// </summary>     public int maxMem;     /// <summary>     /// The memory in KBytes used by the domain.     /// </summary>     public int memory;     /// <summary>     /// The number of virtual CPUs for the domain.     /// </summary>     public short nrVirtCpu;     /// <summary>     /// The CPU time used in nanoseconds.     /// </summary>     public long cpuTime;     /// <summary>     /// The running state, one of virDomainState.     /// </summary>     public DomainState State { get { return (DomainState)state; } } } It work fine in 32 bits, but not in 64 bits, it seems that packing in 64 bits is different so infos are not in order. Am I right ?

Windows just had to do things diffrently on 64-bit and so used the LLP64 model instead of LP64 used by the rest of the world :-(  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb496995.aspx  In the UNIX/64 data model:      The size of int is 32 bits and the size of long and pointers is 64 bits.  In the Win64 model:      The size of int and long is 32 bits; the size of int64 (new type) and pointers is 64 bits.

Using mingwin is causing the bindings to be 32-bit, regardless of whether the Windows OS is 32-bit or 64-bit.

Am I right ? > In the struct looks like this struct _virDomainInfo { unsigned char state; /* the running state, one of virDomainState */ unsigned long maxMem; /* the maximum memory in KBytes allowed */ unsigned long memory; /* the memory in KBytes used by the domain */ unsigned short nrVirtCpu; /* the number of virtual CPUs for the domain */ unsigned long long cpuTime; /* the CPU time used in nanoseconds */ }; but you mapped unsigned long to int. First of all you should map this to an unsigned type. You also lost the unsigned for some other members. The problem probably is that long in C is 32bit on a 32bit platform an 64bit on a 64bit platform. You mapped it to int that is always 32bit in C#, when I looked it up correctly. Matthias
