[Mono-dev] Assembly.GetEntryAssembly() returns null

[Michał Ziemski]

Hi!

The code I posted originally in the bug report might have been a little 
misleading.
I did an additional comment with more appropriate code later.

I wasn't realy sure where the real bug belonged 
System.Reflection.Assembly or System.Runtime.WaitHandle.
There seems to ba a patch posted for that already (great job guys!!) for 
System.Runtime.WaitHandle,
so I assume the problem was there.

But IMHNRBOAIKO (in my humble, not really based on any indepth 
knwoledge, opinion)
Assembly.GetEntryAssembly shouldn't be null inside an assembly loaded by 
mod_mono.
MS Docs state that this could be null if loaded from an unmanaged code 
and mod-mono-server2 doesn't count as such.

The thread I followed up was in fact about a different bug.
I've relied too much on the title. Sorry for confusing that and thank 
you for pointing it out.

Cheers!
