C# Class Monobjc.Block

Managed implementation of the blocks as defined in the Language Specification for Blocks[1]. Even if the implementation strictly follows the Block Implementation Specification[2], it is restricted to global block for the moment.

The block bridging allow a delegate function or action to be marshalled as a native block. Its implementation points to a proxy invoker that will forward the native block invocation to the delegate function or action.

Currently, any delegate can be passed to create a block. For example:

Delegate Equivalent block signature Action void (^)() Action{T1,T2,T3} void (^)(T1, T2, T3) Func{TResult} TResult (^)() Func{T1,T2,TResult} TResult (^)(T1, T2)
