I don’t think that there is much to be done about this at the Mono run time level. The thunking API is certainly simpler given that you just have to provide MonoObject *. You could likely provide some helper functions that could query an exclusively MonoObject * argument list and unbox reference types on the fly. > I've written a wrapper generator which aids in the process of binding the > languages. Which language are you calling into the embedded API from? In my own case my wrappers are produced a code generator which understands how to generate argument lists both for property thunking and for method invocation using mono_runtime_invoke.
