While this would be better asked on mono-devel-list, there's little reason it can't be answered here (except for noise, but there's lots of noise already...)

Internal calls are written in C, and are in the "mono" CVS module. In particular, in mono/metadata/icall.c is huge-ass map, icall_map, which maps a string to a function pointer. "CurrentThread_internal" is mapped to the C function mono_current_thread(). It's also possible to add new internal calls at runtime via mono_add_internal_call(). > 2). I have implemented two TODOs.

I would imagine that the constructor allocates the underlying OS-native lock (semaphore, critical-section, etc.), storing this into WaitHandle.os_handle. > Can you please help me? Maybe? But mono-devel-list is a better bet... And to answer a later question, yes, post these to bugzilla, IF THEY'RE NEW. Please make sure that they haven't already been reported, and if these are already checked for in the unit tests, then I don't think they need to be added to bugzilla, as "get the unit tests passing" is a long-standing known issue. <snip/> - Jon _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
