+Bug#: 52092
+Product: Mono/Runtime

+Resolution: FIXED

+Summary: ldftn must not compile the method
+
+This test case:
+using System;
+
+class A {
+	static A () {
+		Console.WriteLine ("In A cctor");
+	}
+	public static void method () {
+		Console.WriteLine ("In A method");
+	}
+}
+
+delegate void DoIt ();
+
+class B {
+	static void Main () {
+		DoIt d = new DoIt (A.method);
+		Console.WriteLine ("Created delegate");
+		d ();
+		Console.WriteLine ("Invoked delegate");
+	}
+}
+
+prints (in mono):
+In A cctor
+Created delegate
+In A method
+Invoked delegate
+while it should print:Created delegate
+In A cctor
+In A method
+Invoked delegate
+
+The error is because we assume that a method is compiled just in time when
+it's first invoked and it that context we need to run the class cctor.
+But ldftn currently cause the method to be compiled even if it's not run
+until later.
+We need to use for ldftn the same mechanism used for tail calls: a jump
+trampoline is created that simply invokes the method.
