[Mono-dev] MCS and GMCS API Documentation

[Marek Safar]

Hello Sachith,

None of our C# compiler has and will have stable expression tree API 
soon. I know
some people speculate it can happen for C# 4.0 but that's too far anyway.
However, the tool which can help you is called Cecil, and it should be 
able to
assist you to build in-memory representation of any IL code produced by mcs,
gmcs, or any other .NET compiler.

Regards,
Marek
