[Mono-list] existing managed C++-libraries for Mono and whats with csgl?

[Simon Waite]

From my own observations with ILdisam (or whatever its called)

Is that it calls MSCV SPECIFIC pinvokes for standard libs.

(this is if you use managed C++ project of course)

No, you're wrong here. Mixed code is certainly possible.
Consider this code, for example:
http://mono.eurosoft.od.ua/files/FFT_MCPP.cpp

Notice how cout and System.Console both used at the same time.

It's also possible to create pure .NET code using MC++,
but currently Mono refuses to load binaries emmited by VC++.
It's possible to disassemble those binaries, then assemble them again
and then execute them with Mono.
