Subject: Re: [DOTNET] Partition II Metadata Spec question


This is a deficiency in the current version of the Loader -- explicit
overrides (through MethodImpls) cannot be chained. At the same time,
implicit overrides can be chained alright, which creates an assymetry
between explicit and implicit overrides. 

Partition II says nothing about limitations on explicit override
chaining, which implies there should be no such limitations. The only
limitation specified in Partition II is that the same v-table slot can't
be overridden with more than one method, and in the case Brent is citing
this doesn't happen.

Clearly, this deficiency needs fixing. And I extend our profound thanks
to Brent, The Intrepid Vigilante of Partition II and Surrounding
Territories!
