How does vtfixup get handled on Unix?

[niklaskarl]

I have a legacy project using .vtfixup to call into managed from a native application. I am wondering how porting to cross-platform can be accomplished the easiest way. Is it possible to load the assemblies using the Unix-Hosting interface and get the HMODULE (or dlopen equivalent) of the loaded assembly? Are exports and relocations applied on Unix at all or do I have to switch to CreateDelegate?

As we incorporate the IJW activation logic for .NET Core 3.0 we are going to evaluate what vtfixup's look like x-plat. Can you elaborate on what scenario this would be used for?

We have no plans to support vtfixups on Unix.

Let's use #34571 to track the more general scenario of exposing .NET assemblies as native binaries.
