Summary: Mono.DataConverter assumes alignment during string
packing but not during unpacking
Product: Mono: Class Libraries
Version: unspecified
Platform: x86-64
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 - None
Component: System

(Assigning this System since I have no clue which would be more appropriate.)
The DataConverter class assumes that when packing strings, alignment to a
4-byte boundary is wanted, but assumes no alignment during unpacking. This
prevents correct unpacking of strings that are not aligned.
I am attaching a patch that fixes this issue, as well as:
* Disables warnings about the CLSCompliance attributes if not compiling with
CLS compliance enabled.
* Causes unpacked strings to be typed System.String instead of System.Char[].
These two pieces may be omitted if this is not desired, but I believe they will
be beneficial to this class.
