Hi Jb - seems I'm running into the same issue with Cecil 0.9.4. The
DeclaringType on a TypeReference for a nested class is set to null
whenever generics are involved. Here's a test case:
public class OuterGeneric<O>
{
public class InnerGeneric<I>
{
}
public class InnerNonGeneric
{
}
}
public class OuterNonGeneric
{
public class InnerGeneric<I>
{
}
public class InnerNonGeneric
{
}
}
class TestClass
{
public OuterGeneric<int>.InnerGeneric<int> Method1()
{
return null;
}
public OuterGeneric<int>.InnerNonGeneric Method2()
{
return null;
}
public OuterNonGeneric.InnerGeneric<int> Method3()
{
return null;
}
public OuterNonGeneric.InnerNonGeneric Method4()
{
return null;
}
}
In the example above, only Method4 has a value in its return type's
DeclaringType. The other three are set to null. Bug?
Thanks!!
