I have recently committed required changes to Mono SVN repository as r102052. Now Mono has mixed-mode assembly support on Windows.
Wow, congratulations! When will a windows installer be available for a version of mono with your changes included? It would make testing much easier.
These is no full MSVCRT support because that heavily depends on the unmanaged API of .NET Framework but programs compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ and not using MSVCRT should be supported. Even exporting functions in managed DLLs is supported that is supported by ildasm.exe and ilasm.exe as well.
When the process is created using mono.exe there are some limitations for executable assemblies but with a custom mscoree.dll Mono has full support to create processes from managed executables.
The attached mscoree.c is the source code for a custom mscoree.dll that uses Mono for creating processes from executables. I think that you should incorporate this into your mscoree.dll.
We'll have a look, thanks. Do you happen to know of any real-world apps that would benefit? - Dan
