Treatment of pointers in general is hit-and-miss especially with the newer function pointer (delegate*) feature.

Currently with function pointers, an IntPtr or fnptr* types are returned, so it is not possible today to distinguish between function pointers and other uses of IntPtr, for example. It is also not possible to determine the parameter types, return type or the calling convention.

• Representation of function pointer types in the reflection stack
  • See API proposal based somewhat off of original draft Gist proposal
• Runtime: Support for reflection-invoking methods that take pointers by reference
• Type validation holes when using Reflection to invoke a method with a void* parameter
