CA1417: Do not use OutAttribute on string parameters for P/Invokes

Property Value
Rule ID CA1417
Title Do not use OutAttribute on string parameters for P/Invokes
Category Interoperability
Fix is breaking or non-breaking Non-breaking
Enabled by default in .NET 8 As warning

Cause

A P/Invoke string parameter is passed by value and marked with OutAttribute.

Rule description

The .NET runtime automatically performs string interning. If an interned string marked with OutAttribute is passed by value to a P/Invoke, the runtime can be destabilized.

How to fix violations

If marshalling of modified string data back to the caller is required, pass the string by reference instead. Otherwise, the OutAttribute can be removed without any other changes.

 // Violation
[DllImport("MyLibrary")]
private static extern void Foo([Out] string s);

// Fixed: passed by reference
[DllImport("MyLibrary")]
private static extern void Foo(out string s);

// Fixed: marshalling data back to caller is not required
[DllImport("MyLibrary")]
private static extern void Foo(string s);

When to suppress warnings

It is not safe to suppress a warning from this rule.
