Introduction to Native (Ahead of Time) Compilation in DotNet
Schedule
52 minutes
Microsoft keeps working in his AOT Native .NET runtime, optimized for ahead of time compilation. A feature that offers great benefits for many critical apps. Native compiled apps startup is faster since they execute already compiled code in a single file! AOT enables some scenarios like:
- Copying a single file executable from one machine and run on another (of the same kind) without installing a .NET runtime.
- Creating and running a docker image that contains a single file executable (e.g. just one file in addition to Ubuntu).
- Compiling dotnet managed libraries into shared or static libraries that can be consumed from other languages without COM or library wrappers. (Like c++ or Rust)
- Smaller compilation output sizes.
In this session we will learn:
- The main differences, benefits and drawbacks between Just-In-Time compilation and Ahead-Of-Time compilation
- The startup and performance gains that AOT can bring us
- How to compile our dotnet applications (console, webapps) into native code in Linux and Windows
- Interoping with dotnet natively compiled libraries to be consumed by other languages (Demos with Rust)
