I can tell you in .NET 2.0 you can easily see when it happens... setup your debugger with the instructions here http://codebetter.com/blogs/gregyoung/archive/2006/06/09/146298.aspx. This will allow you to run optimized code with the debugger. Set a break on your static construction .. run in debug and release mode.
in debug mode it will happen how you want it to happen. In release mode it will happen when the assembly is loaded. He says "it could" because the spec does not define a particular point of it occurring only that it could happen. Cheers, Greg On 7/25/06, Brad Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
It's interesting that he says that it COULD happen, but not that it actually DOES happen. It's not clear under what circumstances he thinks the runtime would end up being more eager than writing an explicit .cctor.
