This CL introduces dart_api_dl.h which exposes a subset of dart_api.h and dart_native_api.h for dynamic linking at runtime through the FFI. Dynamic linking is done through including dart_api_dl.cc in a shared library and passing NativeApi.initializeApiDLData to the init function. This CL also includes Native API versioning to deal with possible version skew between native api version against which native libraries are compiled and the version in the DartVM the code is run on. The subset of symbols in the CL includes handle related symbols, error related symbols, handle scope symbols, and native port sumbols.

Dart
A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform
Dart is:
-
Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation
-
Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app
-
Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web
Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:
-
Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.
-
Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
