[Mono-dev] Debugging Busted CIL

[Jim Purbrick]

I'm currently trying to work out what is wrong with
some assemblies I've generated and thought that people
on the list might have some cunning techniques that I
haven't thought of.

Currently my process consists of running my app which
embeds Mono, waiting for it to spit out an
**ERROR**:Invalid IL code at <blah> aborting...
message and then staring at dissassembly trying to
work out stack states on a piece of paper and hoping I
see what's wrong.

Are there any better ways? I briefly tried using MS
ildasm to generate CIL from my DLL, tacking on a Main
method which called the broken method then assembling
it with debugging information which let me step
through the CIL in DbgClr, but when I tried to step in
to the busted method DbgClr just told me that the
method was busted and stopped.

Any other ideas?

Cheers,

Jim.
