« IKVM.NET 7.0 Update 1 Release Candidate ... | Main | February 2012 Java Critical Patch Update... »
New Development Snapshot

Time for a new snapshot. Not too many changes, but the IKVM.Reflection API changes should suggest what I've been working on.

Changes:

  • Updated version to 7.1.4406.0.
  • Handle Main-Class manifest value that spans multiple lines. Fix for bug #3461012.
  • When constructing a generic class loader we can't use GetWrapperFromType() on the type arguments, because they might refer to a subtype that is currently being loaded.
  • Made base TypeWrapper resolution lazy for compiled and .NET TypeWrappers.
  • Use modopt custom modifiers for methods instead of name mangling and NameSigAttribute.
  • Added version info resource to JVM.DLL. Modified version of patch #3472413.
  • Added version info resource to ikvm-native-win32-{arch}.dll. Modified version of patch #3472413.
  • Added support for delegates with ByRef parameters.
  • When a dynamic only interface method ends up being "implemented" by a static or non-public method, it should throw the appropriate exception.
  • When instantiating a delegate and the object passed in does not properly implement the delegate's Method interface, bind the delegate to an error stub that throws the appropriate error.
  • The right remap filename should be put in the SourceFileAttribute, instead of the last one.
  • Stack trace elements in methods in remapped .NET types should not list the source filename as map.xml.
  • IKVM.Reflection: FieldInfo.IsAssembly should test for FieldAttributes.Assembly access, not FieldAttributes.Family.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Added Module.__FileAlignment property.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Added ManifestResourceInfo.__Offset property.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Avoid the need for (expensive) ResolveMethod call when emitting debug symbols. Thanks to Miguel Garcia for pointing this out.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Add AssemblyName.__Hash property (to expose the hash in an AssemblyRef).
  • IKVM.Reflection: Added Module.__EntryPointRVA and Module.__EntryPointToken properties.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Added MethodBase.__MethodRVA property.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Fixed regression introduced with AssemblyName rewrite. The AssemblyName returned from __GetReferencedAssemblies() should include an empty public key token if the referenced assembly is not strong named.
  • IKVM.Reflection: API change. Allow Type.MetadataToken to be called on missing type (it will return 0 or the token hint when the type was forwarded).
  • IKVM.Reflection: Added Universe.ResolveType() API that can be used to construct missing types.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Fixed various Module.Resolve* methods to throw proper exception when wrong metadata token is supplied.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Fixed type parameter binding for missing types.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Added Module.__EnumerateCustomAttributeTable() API.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Removed Module.__GetDeclarativeSecurityFor() API.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Added CustomAttributeData.__Parent API.
  • IKVM.Reflection: Added Module.__ImageRuntimeVersion API.
