[Mono-devel-list] NET_2_0 attributes

[Sebastien Pouliot]

Hello Marek,

+	* MonoCustomAttrs.cs: Implemented NET_2_0 extension.
+        Attributes are returned also for pseudo attributes.

...

+		[MonoTODO ("Missing MarshalAsAttribute")]

...

+		[MonoTODO ("Missing MarshalAsAttribute, FieldOffsetAttribute")]

...

+		[MonoTODO ("A lot of work here")]
+		object ReconstructDllImportAttribute ()

This seems to be a *partial* implementation to
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=62372
and that should be noted in the ChangeLog

The bug entry links to a full list of the pseudo attributes
http://blogs.msdn.com/adam_nathan/archive/2003/04/29/56645.aspx

Can you send to the list which attributes are (and aren't) supported by your
patch ?


When I looked at this issue, also hoping for a managed-side fix, I was
pretty sure that we couldn't get a complete implementation from the managed
side (after reading the MSDN blog). At least not without (a) modifying the
currently used runtime icalls or (b) adding new icalls in the runtime. I
don't think that, both for performance and for understanbility, that we want
to split the attribute gathering in both the runtime and the class library.

Hello,

I implemented transformation from pseudo attributes to normal attributes
as Microsoft changed it for NET_2_0.

Could someone review my patch?

Thanks,
Marek
