[Mono-dev] Full AOT compilation of generics supported?

[mobbe]

Update on this one.. 

If I comment out the line that has strings.Sort(); on it I am successful in
retrieving back the string "3" from the managed world.


Hi again,

I got the latest from SVN and recompiled all of my base libraries again
(mscorlib,System and System.Core) as well as my custom assembly. The base
libraries are taken from the mono/2.1 folder so I am compiling with the
Silverlight binaries. 

When I try to run my method I get the following assert... 

** ERROR **: Attempting to JIT compile method '(wrapper static-rgctx-invoke)
System.Collections.Generic.Comparer`1<string>:static_rgctx_invoke_void ()'
while running with --aot-only.

This is the code that I am trying to run... 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace MonoSLLibrary
{
  public class Class1
  {
    /// <summary>
    /// Cretes a generic list, creates a few items descending order, sorts
the list
    /// and returns the first item. The first item should be a "1";
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public string SortListAndReturnFirstItem()
    {
      List<string> strings = new List<string>();

      strings.Add("3");
      strings.Add("2");
      strings.Add("1");
      strings.Sort();
      return strings[0];

    }
  }
}

I guess it is the call to strings.Sort that is causing some issues with the
comparer. Is still one of those rare cases where Mono doesn't JIT-compile or
should this not be happening?
