  I am not really familiar with C#, so I may miss the point. However, the problem might be that you do not marshall every field in your
  TModuleRec and it thus gets missaligned. Fill your TModuleRec structure with characteristic values and check the memory layout with the
  debugger or a hexdump.
  Hope it helps.

  It actually had nothing to do without calling the marshaller for the other options, when passing these references to the TestAlign function it ended up working perfeclt well with unsafe pointers.
  
  Here's my example:
  
  

  public unsafe void TestRecAlign() {
              //Verify Stamp Record Alignment (TestAlignRec)
              fixed (Stamp.TModuleRec* p = &myRec)
              {
                  if (Stamp.tokenizer_test_align(p) == true)
                  {
                      int i = 0;
  
                      richTextBox1.Text = "Test align returned true" + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
                      richTextBox2.Text = "Values are..." + Environment.NewLine;
  
                      richTextBox2.Text += "Succeeded: " + p->Succeeded.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
                      richTextBox2.Text += "Error: " + p->Error.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
                      richTextBox2.Text += "DebugFlag: " + p->DebugFlag.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
  
                      richTextBox2.Text += "TargetModule: " + p->TargetModule.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
                      richTextBox2.Text += "TargetStart: " + p->TargetStart.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
  
                      for (i = 0; i < 6; i++)
                      {
                          richTextBox2.Text += "ProjectFiles[noparse][[/noparse]" + i.ToString() + "]: " + Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi((IntPtr)p->ProjectFiles[i]) + Environment.NewLine;
                      }
  
                      for (i = 0; i < 6; i++)
                      {
                          richTextBox2.Text += "ProjectFilesStart[noparse][[/noparse]" + i.ToString() + "]: " + p->ProjectFilesStart[i].ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
                      }
  
                      richTextBox2.Text += "Port: " + Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(p->Port) + Environment.NewLine;
                      richTextBox2.Text += "PortStart: " + p->PortStart.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;
                      richTextBox2.Text += "LanguageVersion: " + p->LanguageVersion.ToString() + Environment.NewLine;

  I'll try to get this actually wrapped into an entire library with collections so that if other people want to use the tokenizer in C# they can!
