Yes, P/Invoke has been working cross-platform for a decade with Mono. Have you heard of this thing called Gtk#? P/Invoke does not parse C headers, but neither does this proposal.

Ah right, Mono. I keep forgetting that was a thing. This proposal will pave the way for jextract, though. I would argue this series of JEPs is much closer in spirit to something like Rust's cxx than P/Invoke is.

  No it isn't. As _old_dude_ pointed out, this is a runtime API that generates JIT wrappers. Rust's cxx does no runtime code generation, while P/Invoke does.

    I was not talking about runtime vs compile time, I was talking about how you interact with it as an end user.
