+    /// This pass implements checks for helper macros in declarations.
+    /// The supported macros are listed below with a "CS" prefix which
+    /// stands for CppSharp. Using custom prefixes is also supported by
+    /// passing the value to the constructor of the pass.
+    /// 
+    ///     CS_IGNORE (declarations)
+    ///         Used to ignore declarations from being processed.
+    /// 
+    ///     CS_VALUE_TYPE (classes and structs)
+    ///         Used to flag that a class or struct is a value type.
+    /// 
+    ///     CS_IN_OUT / CS_OUT (parameters)
+    ///         Used in function parameters to specify their usage kind.
+    /// 
+    ///     CS_FLAGS (enums)
+    ///         Used to specify that enumerations represent bitwise flags.
+    /// 
+    ///     CS_READONLY (fields and properties)
+    ///         Used in fields and properties to specify read-only semantics.
+    /// 
+    ///     CS_EQUALS / CS_HASHCODE (methods)
+    ///         Used to flag method as representing the .NET Equals or
+    ///         Hashcode methods.
+    /// 
+    /// There isn't a standardized header provided by CppSharp so you will
+    /// have to define these on your own.
