Alright, alright, so the subject is a bit extreme (XTREME!!)
Anyways, I'm working on some projects that have led me down the dark, lonely path to p/invoke as some of you from the #mono IRC channel may know, but I'm somewhat proud of reaching this new level of oddity :)
Rumour has it I've been saddled with a C++ library that I need to in some way shape or form incorporate into our new heavily-reliant Mono/ C# based project. Platform invocations aren't anything new to me at this point, enough so that I know that Managed C++ is a MS.NET bastard child, and that such sorcery the Mono runtime does not contain.
I'm wondering if it is a plausible option to wrap the C++ shared libraries with a C library, which would then be wrapped by the C# platform invocation wrappers that I'd write, much in the same manner Mac OS X APIs perform toll-free bridging between ObjC and C (http:// ridiculousfish.com/blog/archives/2006/09/09/bridge/)
The most I have to worry about really in the context of C++ specific code is sick iterator hacks and exceptions, but I don't think it isn't anything that can't be wrapped by a simpleton C wrapper to provide a good p/invoke shim for Mono.
Am I stretching too far? Cheers R. Tyler Ballance: Custom Mac and Linux Development at bleep. consulting contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
