Hi list,
I ran into a nasty bug today:
csharp> LoadAssembly("Mono.Cecil.dll");
csharp> using Mono.Cecil;
csharp> AssemblyNameReference.Parse ("foo");
foo, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
csharp> AssemblyNameReference.Parse ("/foo/bar");
/foo/bar, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
csharp> AssemblyNameReference.Parse ("/foo/bar, baz/qux");
System.ArgumentException: Malformed name
at Mono.Cecil.AssemblyNameReference.Parse (System.String fullName)
[0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at Class3.Host (System.Object& $retval) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at Mono.CSharp.Evaluator.Evaluate (System.String input, System.Object&
result, System.Boolean& result_set) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
at Mono.CSharpShell.Evaluate (System.String input) [0x00000] in <filename
unknown>:0
csharp>
The issue is, of course, that the interpretation of the name is ambiguous.
I'm not sure what the best fix for this would be. The first thing that hit
me was "well, if the next token we encounter is not culture,
publickeytoken, nor version, we can just parse that token as an extra part
of the name". But if a path for some reason contains those words in it,
that would break too (granted, low chance). So I thought, "we could allow
quoted paths". But that opens a can of worms in case a quoted path
contains... a quote.
Blergh. Any ideas?
Regards,
Alex
