[Mono-dev] System.Core patch for nested Lambda Expressions

[Roei Erez]

Hi JB,

The sample that I have sent as a test case did not include any quote
expression neither explicitly nor implicitly by the Expression.Call
method.
I have checked on MS.NET and this is not the case, too.
Can you explain more what you have meant?

Just to make sure we both understand the use-case, it is about a method
that is expecting for a delegate as an argument, and instead is passed
an expression (that should be compiled to a delegate before invocation
as far as I understand).

Regards, 
Roei Erez

Thanks for the patch but it's not the good solution. The issue
currently lives in the fact that some Expression factory methods do
not quote nested lambda expressions when they get one as an argument.

Am working on fixing this, thanks!
