UnmanagedExports 1.2.4.23262
A set of compile-time libraries (nothing to deploy) and a build task that enable you to export functions from managed code to native applications.
That means, you can create plugins in a managed language like C# or F# for native applications that only have a C-Api (like Notepad++).
The nuget package is all you need. Just mark your methods with [DllExport] and build for x86, x64 or ia64.
Hints:
- You have to set your platform target to either x86, ia64 or x64. AnyCPU assemblies cannot export functions.
- The export name defaults to the method name and the calling convention to stdcall. If that's all what you want, you can just use [DllExport] without parameters.
- You cannot put your exports in generic types or export generic methods. (The CLR wouldn't know what type parameters to use)
No packages depend on UnmanagedExports.
- The Metadata assemby is signed now. (So you can create signed assemblies with exports)
- Placing [DllExport] on non-static methods will now yield an error.
- Placing [DllExport] on methods in generic types (or types nested in generic types) will yield an error.
- Errors regarding lib.exe will no longer break the build.
- Added support for generic return types. Even the most esotheric corner cases (obfuscated types) should work.
- Made the code that checks method names and class names much more resilient and faster.
- Most messages are localizable now (and I translated them to German).
This package has no dependencies.
