MANAGING GENERIC OBJECTS ACROSS MULTIPLE RUNTIME ENVIRONMENTS

Embodiments are directed towards managing generic objects across multiple runtime environments. If a generic type definition is encountered during compilation of an application it may be determined if the encountered generic type has interactions with the native runtime environment. Native runtime signatures that may be arranged to enable native objects to execute the generic type methods may be generated for each generic type methods that interact with the native runtime. Binding layer machine code may be generated to map each native runtime signature to a corresponding generic type method. And, in at least one of the various embodiments, the binding layer machine code may be inserted into the machine code version of the application.
