C standard library with /clr:pure

As I understand, it is possible to compile C code that use C standard library with Visual C++ in clr:pure mode. What library is used for that?

  • Is this a pure CLR library that translates C functions to approriate .NET or simply a bridge to unmanaged CRT?
  • Is it possible to use such assembly on Linux with Mono?

  1. It is a bridge to unmanaged code. Pure means that the compiler doesn't generate unmanaged code. But it still generates calls to unmanaged code. /clr:safe is even stronger.

  2. It should work on Mono if you have Wine and the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime DLLs installed.
