Description: Mono C# 2.0 / 3.0 / 4.0 / 5.0 compiler for CLI 2.0 / 4.0 / 4.5
This is the Mono C# (C-Sharp) 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 compiler,
a platform-independent compiler which produces
CIL (Common Intermediate Language) binary executables.
This compiler targets the CLI 2.0, 4.0 or 4.5 runtime version.
The mcs compiler supports different C# versions as follows.
With C# 2.0 it supports:
- generics
- iterators (yield)
- nullable value types
- partial types
- anonymous methods
- static classes
- coalesce operator: ??
With C# 3.0 it supports:
- Language Integrated Query (LINQ)
- object initializers
- collection initializers
- anonymous types
- local variable type inference
- implicitly-typed arrays
- lambda expressions
- automatic properties
- extension methods
- partial methods
With C# 4.0 it supports:
- dynamic binding (duck typing)
- named and optional arguments
- covariant and contravariant generic type parameters
With C# 5.0 (which is the default) it supports:
- asynchronous methods
- caller info attributes (as of Mono 3.0 currently not supported!)
Mono is a platform for running and developing applications based on the
ECMA/ISO Standards. Mono is an open source effort led by Xamarin.
Mono provides a complete CLR (Common Language Runtime) including compiler and
runtime, which can produce and execute CIL (Common Intermediate Language)
bytecode (aka assemblies), and a class library.
