Creating managed code from native code

An apparatus comprising:

• a managed assembly including:
• native object code to perform at least one function;
• and
• managed object code to provide an interface between the native object code and a managed environment.

An article comprising a machine-accessible storage medium containing instructions that if executed enable a system to:

• compile a native code module into a native object file including prototype information;
• generate a managed code interface for the native object file according to the prototype information;
• and
• create a single assembly including the managed code interface and the native object file.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a storage coupled to the processor including instructions that if executed enable the system to compile a native code module into a native object file including prototype information, generate a managed code interface for the native object file according to the prototype information, and create a single assembly including the managed code interface and the native object file;
• and
• a dynamic random access memory coupled to the processor.
