NativeSdk 0.5.0

NativeSdk

A MSBuild SDK package for building Native AOT libraries with C# that can be consumed by native applications.

Requirements

• .NET 8.0 or later

Installation

Use NativeSdk as your project SDK:

<Project Sdk="NativeSdk/0.5.0">
    <PropertyGroup>
        <TargetFramework>net8.0</TargetFramework>
    </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

This SDK automatically inherits from Microsoft.NET.Sdk, so you don't need to specify it separately.

Features

This SDK automatically configures your project with:

Debug Configuration

• Stack trace support enabled
• Metadata preserved for debugging

Release Configuration

• Stack trace support disabled
• Metadata trimmed for smaller binaries

DNNE Integration

This SDK includes DNNE for generating native exports. Use the [UnmanagedCallersOnly] attribute to export functions:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

public static class NativeExports
{
    [UnmanagedCallersOnly(EntryPoint = "add")]
    public static int Add(int a, int b) => a + b;
}

Customization

All settings can be overridden in your project file:

<PropertyGroup>
  
  <NativeLib>Shared</NativeLib>
  
  
  <IlcOptimizationPreference>Size</IlcOptimizationPreference>
  
  
  <AllowUnsafeBlocks>false</AllowUnsafeBlocks>
</PropertyGroup>
