[Mono-dev] [PATCH] Adding to the PInvoke search path.

[Bill Holmes]

Hi,

The attached patch was discussed on IRC last week.  We found that
MS.Net uses the directory of the declaring assembly when searching for
shared libraries to invoke unmanaged code.

The outcome of the conversation was that we did not want the behavior
by default in Mono.  However an environment variable could control
this behavior.

Whit this patch setting MONO_PINVOKE_SEARCH to USE_ASSEMBLY_PATH will
enable this.

	* loader.c (mono_loader_init): Check for and process
	  the MONO_PINVOKE_SEARCH environment variable.

	* loader.c (mono_lookup_pinvoke_call): If MONO_PINVOKE_SEARCH
	  is set to USE_ASSEMBLY_PATH, add the declaring assembly
	  directory to resolve shared libraries.
