如何在.NET应用程序中执行C代码？

Question

I'm into Embedded Software development, and write pure C code which are hardware device dependent.

Before our hardware device gets ready, I need to complete application modules of our embedded software, which won't be directly hardware dependent.

Is there any way where I can write and execute C code in a .NET environment (VC++ or C#), have some UI for simulating the application, debug with breakpoints and watches and once the logic is proven, get the C files and port those to hardware (of course with modified interfaces)?

Since I'm not an expert in .NET, I'm not sure if this can be done. If yes, what approach do people use?

Answer 1

It is straight forward to link C and C++ code, just ask your favorite search engine, or the little search box at the top of this page.

Be sure to put

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

and

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

around your declarations in the C header files.

For C# I don't have personal experiences, sorry.
