ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for generating an assembly that is usable in a managed environment. More specifically, the assembly may be an all-inclusive object file that contains a native code module, a managed wrapper and prototype information in a single assembly. The method may include forming an object file from a native code module, where the object file includes prototype information, generating a managed code wrapper using the prototype information, and creating a single assembly including the managed code wrapper and the native code module. In some embodiments, the managed code wrapper may be automatically created, reducing burden on a developer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
