IL2CPP scripting back end
IL2CPP is Unity's ahead-of-time (AOT) pipeline that converts C# intermediate language (IL) to C++, then compiles to native code. It's required on several platforms where Mono and JIT are not supported.

The IL2CPP (Intermediate Language To C++) scripting back end is an alternative to Mono that compiles code ahead-of-time (AOT) and supports a wider range of platforms.
Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Introduction to IL2CPP | Understand IL2CPP's role in Unity script compilation and how it works. |
| IL2CPP runtime code checks | Configure IL2CPP's generation of C++ to enable or disable the inclusion of runtime safety features such as null reference and out of bounds checks. |
| IL2CPP managed stack traces | Configure IL2CPP compiler settings to produce more informative managed stack traces for easier debugging. |
| Additional IL2CPP compiler arguments | Supply custom additional arguments to the IL2CPP compiler from code. |
| Linux IL2CPP cross-compiler | Use the Linux IL2CPP cross-compiler to build Linux IL2CPP Players on any Standalone platform without needing to use the Linux Unity Editor or rely on Mono. |
| IL2CPP limitations | Understand the restrictions that apply on some AOT platforms when using IL2CPP as your scripting back end. |
