Description
## Description
Sort of related to a few other issues I have created, this one deals with native code being called while debugging in general. I am using a debuggertypeproxy for the debug views. The proxies call into native code. In the example I show below, I have a few public properties defined on the proxy which show in the debug view. Those properties ultimately call native code and the evaluation fails.
I have blacked out a lot of the picture due to sensitive information. This is a general inquiry and bug report as this is not the only instance I have seen this behavior in. Whenever a debugged object seems to call into native code, evaluation fails.
## Environment data
dotnet / vscode latest
omnisharp 1.25.1
## OmniSharp log
## Steps to reproduce
One thing to note is that I have I am not using DLLImport for the native method calls. I am using the NativeLibrary API to create function pointers to the native methods in the form: delegate* NativeFunc. The function pointers are then executed as such: z = NativeFunc(x, y). I am not 100% sure, but fairly certain evaluation still fails with DllImport instead. Regardless, I need to use the function pointer mechanism for the native interaction, because I need to reload those pointers multiple times during runtime.
## Expected behavior
Evaluation works
## Actual behavior
Evaluation fails
