On my system it is in C:\WINNT\assembly\GAC, with each assembly under C:\WINNT\assembly\GAC\<namespace>\<version>__<publickeytoken>. > There are still two issues: > 1) in the files you provided a type is referenced, but I could not find > it defined in any module: > [mercury]mercury.private_builtin.ref_1 > I guess a file is missing from the tarball. No, that type is indeed referenced but not defined. This is a currently not-yet-implemented part of the Mercury standard library. I hadn't noticed that until now, because it works in Microsoft.NET. It works because that type is never actually used at run-time. Not sure what the ECMA standard says about this, but in any case I can fix our source to define that type. > 2) references to nested types are encoded with (for example): > namespace = mercury.list > name = list_1/[|]_2 > I always thought that was not allowed and that you should use a typeref > to the parent with: > namespace = mercury.list > name = list_1 > and a typeref to the typeref with: > namespace = > name = [|]_2 Well, we just spit out IL assembler and let ilasm.exe handle it. We generate the name 'mercury'.'list'.'list_1'/'[|]_2', which I believe is correct according to the ECMA spec. > I guess we'll have to handle also this special case.
