Well, "heart" is an ambiguous word here, but yes, it is the main entry point and contains most of the "core" code :-) > I'm trying > to understand the way the JIT works, but I'm not > having an easy time finding my way around the source > code tree. Be sure to read the relevant files in mono/docs, most of all "mini-doc.txt", but also "jit-trampolines". The JIT is in the process of being reworked (see the branch "vargaz/mini-linear-il" in svn, and also the "http://www.mono-project.com/Linear_IL" file), but most of what is interesting for your AOP project will be the same IMHO. Just keep in mind that the "new jit" in "mini-doc.txt" is now the current one and will be the "old one" sooner than later :-) That said, "mono_method_to_ir" is the function that transforms the CIL stream into the internal representation (IR), and "mini_method_compile" drives the whole compilation process. If you want to see examples of "code that inserts hooks", have a look at the CAS related things.
