How to send a string by reference to an unmanaged C library that modifies that string?

Your C Test function doesn't do anything like you said it does. All it does it takes a local variable ( name ) and assigns it to a fixed string. To do what you said it does it would had to do a copy operation into the address pointed to by name.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
