C++ library for launching and interacting with Foreign Runtimes (JVM,CLR,V8)

Aim is to provide one API for common operations (Launching, Type lookup, Code execution and Shutdown) instead for runtime-specific APIs - JVM -> JNI, CLR -> CLR Hosting, etc.

Features:

Operation	JVM
Type lookup	Yes
Constructor lookup	Yes
Type method lookup	Yes
Type method call	Yes
Type field lookup	Yes
Object method lookup	Yes
Object method call	Yes
Object field lookup	Yes
Primitive type wrapping	Yes
Conversion to text representation	Yes

TODO:

• Arrays
• Options
• Optional logging ( environment variable, option or other)
• One thread use synchronisation (for now)
• Internal Type/Constructor/Method/Field cache (probably only JVM specific)
• Access to path of resources loaded with runtime (JAR,DLL,JS, etc...)
• Execution modes: Thread or Process (required check if runtime support requested mode)
• JVM: Use of java.lang.Class for accessing required information (wrapper)
• JVM: Generics
• JVM: Inner classes
• JVM: JNI do not respect private/protected/"default" scopes, additional checkup needed before scheduling work on JVM
