If you need to access C++ code from mono you currently
need to provide C wrappers that can be pinvoked: it's not
unlikely, though, that an enterprising contributor or a
skilled student would enhance mono so that it can use C++
directly with a simple attribute set on a class (maybe
also generating the class automatically by parsing the C++
header files).
Take a look at SWIG http://www.swig.org. It parses existing C++ header
files and generates C# proxy classes to access the unmanaged code from
any .net language via C/PInvoke calls. The resulting code can be
compiled by any of the C# compilers and is cross-platform, so isn't tied
to just the MS or mono tools/environment.
