Hello,

I have an assembly analysis tool which uses rreflection to inspect the
assemblies. On Windows + .NET this tool work very nice. Now I want to run this
tool on mono too (for now just on Windows) but i'm experiencing issues.

The tool also inspects the method bodies. for getting references to the
MethodInfo instances etc, I use Module.ResolveMethod. However, this method
throws an exception when the method is in a generic class (ie,
System.Collections.List<int>.Add(..) )

Is this a known (and intended) limitation? or is it a thusfar undiscovered bug?

it boils down to this:
+ we made an I'll reader, which reads I'll from the method bode
it resolves il opcode operands

assume this code:
var xTest = new List<int>();

this is encoded as il opcode newobj, which gets a method handle passed
as operand. this handle can be passed to Module.ResolveMethod, which
in this case doesn't work 

Regards,

Matthijs ter Woord
