[Mono-dev] status of verify.c and pedump for mono?

[ddunkle]

I am looking for more detailed information on how mono does verification of
the CLI execution stack. For example, I would like to be able to see exactly
what types are on the execution stack for certain IL instructions when I get
a verification error from mono when loading and running a given executable.

I found the file "mono-2.0.1\mono-2.0.1\mono\metadata\verify.c" which seems
to do this. It is called, at a minimum, by pedump in
mono-2.0.1\mono-2.0.1\mono\metadata\pedump.c. For example, I can run the
pedump executable and get verification errors. I was thinking of enhancing
this tool to give more information, if my time allows, for at least my own
use.

I would like to know if the code is verify.c is a reasonable base from which
to start. Is it current and maintained? Is it in general case? Does mono,
when loading an executable and producing verification errors, use this code?
If not can anyone point me at the correct code?

thanks in advance.
