Summary: MCS produces invalid images for modules
Classification: Mono
Product: Mono: Compilers
Version: SVN
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Other
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 - None
Component: C#

While compiling a module mcs adds a RuntimeCompatibilityAttribute to the
assembly in the image.
A module, by definition, have no assembly so this leads to a verification
error. But both mcs and SRE are fine with that.
I'm going to wait for the mcs side to be fixed before I fix SRE to not cause
breakage for users of this super useful feature.
How to reproduce?
Compile the following using "gmcs /t:module module.cs"
using System;
namespace Module {
public class Exported
{
public class NestedClass {}
}
}
Then use some cil metadata verifier to check for such thing.
My personal suggestion is for the very fine metadata verifier build into mono:
pedump --verify metadata module.netmodule
Error: Invalid CustomAttribute row 0 Parent field 0x0000002e
Error count: 1
Marek, please reassign this bug to corlib once the mcs side has been fixed
because I have some faith that SRE should be doing something smarter about this
- like raising an exception.
