I dont think using exceptions is the best way to handle that kind of
stuff: you can have a thread wait on a semaphore or something like that.

Inside unmanged code, you can raise an exception with the function:

void mono_raise_exception        (MonoException *ex);

Just grep for it in the sources and you'll find lots of sample cases.

Definitely no. That is code internal to the implementation of the jit.
Using mono_raise_exception () is the API designed to do that.
Even better would be if you could keep the runtime in managed code and
throw the exception from there, using the normal C# syntax.
