So it looks like you guys are saying that allowing mono to create mixed-mode
assemblies is possible given the following constraints:
1. The .NET metadata must always be found in a PE container.
2. A mixed mode assembly must always be a native format library so as to
allow native programs to load t
Here's another possibility. I don't see what the problem would be in
embedding ELF objects into a PE following the usual COFF objects. Doesn't PE
have a text section that could be used to tag for extraction the native
portion of the assembly? If that were used, then it would be possible to
create a
When I raised this topic, I walked in knowing that any such solution to
providing mixed-mode assemblies will produce assemblies that are not
cross-platform compatible. That much is a given. My point was simply that
this is an irrelevant fact. The whole point of providing for mixed mode
assemblies i
I understand the reasons why the developers chose to leave out support for
developing mixed-mode assemblies using mono: the lack of cross-platform
compatibility in such assemblies. However, I would argue that such things
are not a consideration for those who would choose to develop such
assemblies.
