managednative
ManagedNative is a term used to describe techniques, libraries, and runtimes that enable components written for managed environments to interoperate with native code. It encompasses mechanisms on the managed side, such as garbage-collected runtimes (for example, the .NET Common Language Runtime or the Java Virtual Machine), and the native side, including libraries written in C or C++. The goal is to provide safe, predictable, and efficient interoperability across language boundaries.
Core concepts include marshaling, memory management, error handling, and platform abstraction. Interop layers translate data types
Common approaches range from platform-specific interop APIs (for example, P/Invoke on .NET, JNI on Java) to language
Use cases include calling optimized native libraries from managed applications, embedding managed runtimes in native programs,
Challenges include performance costs of marshaling, lifetime management of native resources, exception and error translation, and
