[Mono-dev] RVA Irregularities

[Nathan McCauley]

The following code excerpt from the attached C# program behaves differently
on Mono 2.0.1runtime for Windows and Mono 2.0.1 runtime on the OpenSUSE
VMWare image.  It contains a lookup of the base address (contained in
getBaseAddress()).  The loop should print the program's Main() function IL
code at runtime.  This RVA was found by looking it up in ILDASM.

The program was compiled the MS compiler.

   IntPtr baseAddr = getBaseAddress();

 for (int offset = 0x211c; offset < 0x2169; offset++)
            {
                    Console.WriteLine("Addr = {0:X}\tByte = {1:X}",
                         baseAddr.ToInt32() + offset,
             Marshal.ReadByte(new IntPtr(baseAddr.ToInt32() + offset)));
            }



It seems like the loader is behaving differently on each platform.  Is there
something I should be doing to mitigate this behavior?
