[Mono-devel-list] [PATCH] type initialization (class constructors)

[Bernie Solomon]

I have discovered that the algorithm for running class constructors doesn't match the spec. Further I also found it got things wrong. I attach a patch which I believe gets this correct though it is a little tricky. I also attach a test program which if I ran it repeatedly under mono in a shell loop would eventually lock up (at least under Mandrake 9.1).

I do assume GetCurrentThreadId can never return zero on any platform - is this correct?

Since it is tricky I wonder if anyone has suggestions on the best tests to run.
