Description

Actual behavior

SetWindowLong is generated, but SetWindowLongPtr is not.

Expected behavior

SetWindowLongPtr should be generated to be able to set a pointer value on window.

Repro steps

  1. NativeMethods.txt content:
Windows.Win32.UI.WindowsAndMessaging
  1. NativeMethods.json content (if present):
    N/A

  2. Any of your own code that should be shared?

unsafe private static LRESULT WindowProcedure(HWND window, uint message, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
{
    if (message == PInvoke.WM_CREATE)
    {
        var createStruct = (CREATESTRUCTW*)lparam.Value;
        PInvoke.SetWindowLongPtr(window, WINDOW_LONG_PTR_INDEX.GWLP_USERDATA, (IntPtr)(*createStruct).lpCreateParams);
    }

    return PInvoke.DefWindowProc(window, message, wparam, lparam);
}
Context

Research direction

Start with the Windows.Win32.UI.WindowsAndMessaging entry from NativeMethods.txt and compare how SetWindowLong is generated with the missing SetWindowLongPtr declaration. Reproduce the sample generation and verify that the resulting API supports setting the pointer value shown in the WindowProcedure example.
