Hi,
We have a problem in that when Data Execution Prevention (DEP) on
Windows XP/Vista is on, some Mono scripts can't be executed.
When debugging the thing, it looks like sometimes mono-codeman
allocates memory through raw malloc instead of VirtualAlloc with
proper execute flags. Specifically for "dynamic" methods new_codechunk
in mono-codeman.c uses CODE_FLAG_MALLOC flag.
If I make new_codechunk always use CODE_FLAG_MMAP flag, the scripts
that were problematic under DEP start working properly. But I don't
know which methods have "dynamic" flag in Mono, and what implications
that change might have. Any ideas on how to make it properly?
