Hi there
While using Cecil I have come upon a problem, that I hope someone can
help me with.
Let me start with the code that provokes the problem:
----------------------------
using SCG = System.Collections.Generic;
...
class IntDoubleCache : SCG.Dictionary<int,double>
{ } //POINT 1
class Foo
{
void Bar()
{
...
SCG.Dictionary<int,double> dic = new
SCG.Dictionary<int,double>(); // POINT 2
dic.ContainsKey(1);
//
POINT 3
...
}
}
----------------------------
Haveing the above code as an assembly, and an another assembly
(target) in which I want to do some manipulation, I experience two
scenarioes.
Scenario 1) From POINT 2 and POINT 3, I import (mainModule.import) the
MethodReference to the "constructor" and the "containsKey" methods of
the SCG.Dictionary into the target assembly.
When doing the first import the lookup at line 480 of ReflectionHelper
returns null, and therefore a new TypeReference is build, and most
importantly at line 496 generic parameters are added.
Doing the second import the check at line 480 is succesful, and the
later lookup in the "GetGenericParameter" method at line 458 is
succesful. So this is the nice scenario, everything works at it
should.
Scenario 2) Before importing the MethodReference from POINT 2 and 3, I
first import the TypeReference of class IntDoubleCache. Now here comes
the problem. When the baseClass (SCG.Dictionary) of IntDoubleCache is
imported, there is not added any generic parameters at line 496. Later
on when importing the MethodReference at POINT 3, the check at line
480 is succesful but the lookup at line 458 for the type of the
genericParameter of this method fails as there are not any
genericParameters in the TypeReference constructed earlier in the
proces.
So the question is, why scenario 2 does not work?
I have tried to use some time in debugging mode, trying to figure out
why Cecil does not include the generic parameters in the TypeReference
in scenario 2, but I am not able to figure it out.
So please, any help on how to get around this problem would be helpful
(I can not just import the methodReferences before the TypeReference,
this is not an option in my application).
I know this question might not be the best written, but this is the
best I can do. If more information is needed to clarify the problem,
please let me know.
regards,
Rasmus
