IIS modules require a native DLL with a specific export. Then we’re able to implement C++ interfaces generated by ClangSharp by parsing C++ headers and generating all of the vtable goop to make it work.

Here’s an example of implementing IHttpModule.

My favorite mind bending part of this is the fact that we can write a native host for the CLR using C#

https://github.com/davidfowl/IIS.NativeAOT/blob/7972862ae83eef40247cbd43e9566fea5568a5ee/IIS.NativeAOT/CLRHost.cs#L104

This code will boot the CLR and call main.
