It used to be possible to change the name of a generic type parameter
by simply assigning to the Name property (just like it works for
methods, types, etc. too).
In the newest version, however, I get an InvalidOperationException. It
seems that the GenericParameter class is now used both for the generic
parameter definition as well as a reference to it in constructed
generic instance types. It makes sense that the latter cannot be
renamed, but the former certainly should be.
I suspect that fixing this might be simple: change
public override string Name {
[...]
set { throw new InvalidOperationException (); }
}
to something like...
public override string Name {
[...]
set {
if (owner is TypeDefinition || owner is MethodDefinition)
base.Name = value;
else
throw new InvalidOperationException ();
}
}
Will that work or am I missing something?
