[Mono-devel-list] Re: Assembly Unloading

Hi Zoltan,

mono_domain_unload() only seems to be declared and
defined within appdomain.c, is there any reason for
this, or could it be declared in appdomain.h so I can
call it?

When I removed all the calls to mono_domain_free the
application ran fine, just as when I was running it
with a single appdomain (but obviously not unloading
anything). So, the calls to mono_domain_free seem to
be the problem.

When I try calling mono_domain_set () immediately
after creating the new domains with mono_domain_create
(), I get a crash the first time I try to save a
thread to disk. Is this becuase I need to set the new
domains up somehow? Is this because it's looking for
types in the new domain when it serializes and can't
find them? Am I right in thinking the current domain
is used to load assemblues when deserializing objects?
What else is the current domain used for? 

Cheers,

Jim.

The call stack I get when trying to serialize the
thread after calling mono_domain_set is shown below.
