4.8. Native Code Enhancements

I will not be covering changes to native code, so I have summarized some of the important changes here:

  • Support for real-time heap analysis has been added.

  • New integrated dump analysis and debugging tools have been added.

  • TLBImp shared source is available from CodePlex (http://clrinterop.codeplex.com).

  • Support for 64-bit mode dump debugging has been added.

  • Mixed-mode 64-bit debugging is now supported, allowing you to transition from managed to native code.
