Adopt new API in .NET Core 3.0 - System.Runtime.InteropServices.NativeLibrary

[JanVargovsky]

I've encountered similar issue as #2. Since that time, native API has been merged in the .NET Core 3.0, see docs.

The library may adopt these changes quite easy:

class NetCoreLibraryLoader : LibraryLoader
{
    protected override void CoreFreeNativeLibrary(IntPtr handle)
    {
        System.Runtime.InteropServices.NativeLibrary.Free(handle);
    }

    protected override IntPtr CoreLoadFunctionPointer(IntPtr handle, string functionName)
    {
        return System.Runtime.InteropServices.NativeLibrary.GetExport(handle, functionName);

    }

    protected override IntPtr CoreLoadNativeLibrary(string name)
    {
        return System.Runtime.InteropServices.NativeLibrary.Load(name);
    }
}

We would have to target .NET Core 3.0 instead of .NET Standard 2.0.

What is your opinion about changing/adding the target framework to Core 3.0? Or maybe publish both NS and Core versions? Not sure whether it works - from the consumer perspective. I've seen a few libraries dropped out NS support and target Core but I'm aware that this library is commonly used in Mono/Xamarin.

100% it would be best to keep targeting .NET Standard.

It is not possible though. We've internally changed our library to target both .NET Standard (that has issues) and .NET Core.
